Adsense a new ****ty LOW

[thebillionaire]

wtf is it just or did adsense decrease its pay on game site like hell? I'm on a average of 1.5 cents per click, wtf!

[s2kinteg916]

Compared to october revenues this month seems as if it has decreased for me as well. I think it has to do with the natural disaster as well as the holiday season coming up. Another thing is that i am only in one market and not diversified so that could be another reason.

It did for the first day now its back to where it is supposed to be, for me at least.

[Chris]

Actually, because of the holidays, ad spending should increase from now until the end of December.

this better be back by up by tommorow because I need to pay my bills. Is yahoo accepting affiliates? or do you need an invitation?

[lz83ny]

I hope google loses in the long run to yahoo of course :) No, you don't need an invite. You should apply directly to them. http://publisher.yahoo.com/

I have no words to describe how great ypn is :)

AdSense is up for me this month.

[thebillionaire]

I was just noticing something. Do you need an adressbar on pages which you display ads on?

[LuckyShima]

Very low ecpm first 4 days, day 4 was lowest since August.

Effects the entire account?
Can anyone think of a reason why they'd do that other than trying to make people be like "This isn't converting well" and switch to another ad network?

[moonshield]

I am not sure I believe it. They are taking the words of a WMW poster as gospel, that's the only source that has come up so far I believe.

thebillionaire, looks like you're experiencing the same type of thing that happened to me months and months back. Unfortunately, mine didn't recover until about 1 week back, where suddenly it seems to have shot back up again. But that could be a Christmas holiday related thing.

... Still can't wait to try YPN!

Yeah, my CPCs went down for a few days (about 20% of what it usually was) but the last day or two it appears to be back up to normal levels.

[Emancipator]

mine were through the roof, over $14 and now its in the toilet this month.

$14 CPC? :eek:

I assume you mean eCPM? That's pretty good.

My games site has a horrible CTR, but the clicks I am getting are paying out fairly well.

You should speak to Cutter about that. Or at least read his adsense article (http://www.websitepublisher.net/article/adsense-optimization/).

[cameron]

I'll give it a shot. That's my favorite part of running websites: having an established site and changing the layout to increase income. It always requires the least work and yields the best results.

Adsense was paying very badly for clicks on my strange-facts site until today. It picked up today and is paying better. Actually, it is paying pretty good compared to normal, and I am breaking records with traffic so I think this is going to be a good month.
