Today I received the lowest daily earnings in over 2 months Earnings were increasing steadily (highest $45/day) and today I expect that it won't reach $9 The same amount of clicks earned me double last week.. It appears the more page impressions you get, the less money you earn.. I don't get it!
I am in the same boat as 'richwannabe'.. the same clicks that used to get e $30/day are doing $13/day
Ditto.... adsense has sucked royally lately - ever since the Christmas season ended. I suspect advertising budgets are down, shopping demand down, etc.
Hey everyone - I use adwords (and adsense) - but with adwords, after xmas a lot of the competitors stopped advertising, so my click price went down from around 50c to around 15c per click (because there was no competition to push the price up) - which would explain the lower click prices. For my adsense I haven't noticed a difference.
Theoritically, its the end of the month so you might expect advertisers to have smaller budgets, however, I have noticed it does not always work like that as some month ends are actually better than the start.
Demand and supply, budgets and no budgets, different ads, different advertisers, different seasons different ips... different SERPs ranking.... all these leads to different amount earned.
Really though? I would not expect to see such a drastic drop in earnings for 1 day. Some days I just shake my head - days when you expect to make more than usual (due to traffic + clicks), you end up making HALF! My earnings seem to look on par today (so far).
Same here at the beginning of the month was getting 45-50 a day, now down to 20 a day. Same number of clicks but half the money. It's the AdSense roller coaster
Great I don't want to check my stats now... =) Funny thing I usually notice a lower payout on my CPM banners in the few week of the month... and higher at the end... like they are trying to burn folks budgets, etc. Adsense is usually quite stable though... I'll check later and see...
Weird but at the beginning of this week I was thinking the same thing - had a couple of reallllllly crappy days in a row and thought oh shet this is really getting bad... then yesterday I had the best day ever So (to paraphrase Forrest Gump) I guess adsenz is "like a box of chocolates -- you never know what you're gonna get"
that's funny: my earnings are normal BUT i started some new adwords campaigns because the CPC is really low on some major keywords
I had my best day ever yesterday. Today it will be a little lower than average. That's the adsense game though.
