By the way, I've had less than 20 clicks as well, but that's not so unusual for my site...
Anyone want to comment this?
If you feel that cpm campaigns are damaging your bottom line you can drop an email to adsense support
Already emailed google about a month ago asking to opt out of CPM ads. Was told that it can not be done. Either you take the whole package or you don't. Support also suggested to use text only in my account settings (no image ads) i was told that this will help stoping most CPM ads (how good is that BS?). Well tried that too....end result, earnings just the same with or without image ads.
Whats more, earnings are just the same with or without extra 6000 daily impressions. Great algo they've got going there if you ask me.
sorry to sound obnoxious, but you have confirmed the number of cpm ads showing up, via your adsense stats? it's only recently that we had that capability.
>>>Have no idea how my account went from making avrage $80 p/day for almost 2 years to less then $40 p/day for the last 2-3 months.<<<
i got hammered in a similar manner last december, right when google announced it's earnings... now that google has just announced more favorable earnings, my epc has just now rebounded to more favorable levels, particularly in the last couple of weeks.
when google first cut my epc last december, i immediately set up an ad server, and sent my lowest ctr traffic over to ypn, where it paid better than what i was getting thru adsense.
my overall adsense ctr went up, but the epc didn't follow by much... it wasn't until this latest google earnings report that i saw any decent epc again... and who knows how long that will last.
if that pattern was applicable to you, there should have been an increase in your epc within the last couple of weeks, due to the google stock report... although i think that part of my increased epc was from a couple of new advertisers.
i have always, from day one, put all mfa's in the filter... and more recently, nearly all portal sites that displayed advertising, as well.
what you are observing is probably based upon the countries your site is targetting and what time of the day people visit the site.
ok, now this goes out to all the non english language websites.
forget about all the americans and uk people who want to make you believe, that it is something about the time zone.
this is something about people in your own area, not international.
english websites, please skip this post, you don't understand this. it is focused on a language which is spoken in a certain area/time zone.
i for one (non english website, specific time zone) can observe, that epc is in fact deteriorating during the day. and there is no catch up by different time zones, because different time zones simply don't visit my site, ok?
so there is definitely a connection between high paying early clicks and national language specific budgets running out during the day. if you don't have a non english site, you don't know anything about that.
