    Is anyone else seeing a 5-10$ Cap on there Daily AdSense Revenue? Or any Cap for the Matter?
    It seems like clicks are not being counted, and earnings are being artificially deflated.

    When i first started AdSense with maybe 5 sites i maxed out at about 8 dollars a day. Since I have added 20 or so Quality sites all with original content. Each site has 500+ Back-links and All ranked on first page in Google and some at #1. And Also about 100 times the Traffic Flow. And its all Still Capping out at no more than 10$... All sites are declining in all stats to Equal Same Original Amount.

    Let me know if any one is experiencing any of this.

    Can anyone recommend a good affiliate program for recipes sites?


    Thanks everyone for the Great Input.
    Make sure you take the poll.


    Has anyone ever Heard of people Advertising in AdWords and having them displayed on there own sites??
    "Hypothetically" if you were to click your own ad's how many would Google make you pay for VERSUS How many Clicks they would actually count?
    Has anyone Ever heard of this. It seems to be a way to Catch Google Red handed. But also Illegal.

    I have this problem too. Google is evil.

    Hi,

    I have a recipe software. I am looking for affiliates. If you are interested, i can set up the affiliate system in Payloadz.

    The software is here: Talking Recipe Software

    The software is $12.90. Payloadz gets a 15% commission from each sales - from me ( not the affiliate).

    I have set the affiliate payout to $6 per sales.

    My software comes with a free lite version which the user can buy the full version from the software itself. Here's the free lite version page...http://www.hobbycook.com/downloads.html



    If you are interested, I can create a customised free lite version for you with 'buy now' affiliate link to your account.
    regards.

    Yep the same thing is happening to me.
    Check this out, only 1/12 of my clicks for one of my sites is being counted.
    I get about 700 uv's a day and less than 1% CTR. Ranked #1 in Google for a niche that searches and returns over 3 million pages in Google and has Reasonable Trend.
    Tell me why that's happening?

    If anyone has experience With cj.com Please let me know what your findings are in relation to AdSense.

    There's definitely some BS taking place in Mountain View. I have several sites in high paying niches all with excellent content. On one particular new site, the beginning of the month brought about several clicks everyday. Than all at once the clicks stopped coming. NO fluctuation in traffic occured. Google better get their act together soon or I'm saying bye to the program. These kind of antics are taking it a bit too far.

    I'm also wondering about the situation. Going from 1 site to 4 sites didn't do much difference even if I'm driving 10 times more traffic...It's like if the CPC was getting adjusted so I don't go over a certain amount. Weird stuff going on.

    Traffic to my sites doubled (very targeted traffic) but it seems the clicks are paying less lately. The advertisers are either paying less for ads or Google is taking out a bigger "cut" and paying advertisers less.

    This is being happening for a long time. More clicks you get, lesser the EPC. Don't know why google does this!

    I think we need to find some software to track our clicks, because if not all our clicks are counted than its maybe a time to move on

    I am not very sure, as I do not have sufficient data to verify that possibility.

    I think a lot of the advertisers are limiting their budgets. The US economy is getting worse, and the government bailing out Bear Stearns today might just be a sign of worse things to come.

    Maybe once more people get income tax refunds and their tax rebates, advertisers will pump up their marketing efforts to capture some of this money. But that will probably be short lived.

    My adsense revenue has dropped more than 50%. Very disappointing!
