I'm getting a 150% increase in daily earnings with 6 hours left to go. Anyone notice the same? Could it be a click dump from the maintenance done on Saturday?

I wish i could say the same, but i'm about the same as usual.

are you seeing more clicks, or better CPC?

Yup... I am encountering this "problem" as well!

A section of my site that had an almost complete disappearance of clicks, after what OptiRex termed the "Rodeo" maintenance, has suddenly seen it's previous CTR return.

Nothing was touched and nothing else seems to have changed... just a sudden return of clicks after the recent maintenance named "Little Devil".

Just an aberration? Whatever it is... I'm quite happy!

Same here, not great but ticking upward. I hope they fixed whatever was wrong with their click reporting...no chance of getting back what some think of as "lost" (under reported) clicks?

ann-

After having read soooo many of your recent posts... I'm glad to see that something positive is finally happening with your AdSense campaign!

I do, however, hate the fact that something "good" for one publisher always seems to mean something "bad" for another!

"lost" (under reported) clicks?

An interesting point of reference... URCs!

Is this jump connected in any way to different ads showing up?

Yesterday I had an all time high CTR and more importantly earnings. I'm not getting my hopes up however, I've been built up and torn down by Google too much to let that happen.

Great to hear you are having some improvement Ann. I hope it sticks, I really do.

Two of my Adsense accounts saw a steep rise in earnings for the 26th. Others didn't. There's no reason to believe it's anything other than normal click/earning dumps. I'd say, "Move on, there's nothing to see here."

Thanks Frakilk,

I hope yours sticks too.

Still planning to branch out even further into afilliate sales as I am quite pleased with the earnings in that arena, also the banner ads did well so I am looking for even more ways to diversify.

I only have 3 sites and my main site is old 97/98 but it is kept updated so the traffic was there and the page impressions but one day the clicks were just cut in half, no reason for it, then went to less than half. PPC also dropped in the basement. This past Friday I had, no fooling, a $12.00 day!

I am the type to complain bitterly when something happens that I can't get a handle on. My earnings were way up there when this happened, not that I couldn't live without them but they are nice for buying the more expensive things one wants but doesn't allow ones self to spend on unless it is truly excess money. :)

Anyway, I do hope for the best for all of us. Maybe Little Devil fixed whatever happened back then. :)

my cpc has tanked since the maintanence or whatever we're calling google's index madness of last week. clicks that were earning $1.50+ are now earning .05 - .20

Just came off my two best days ever, and already passed that mark for today (and it's not noon here yet) So, no complaints from me, for once.

TWO of your adsense accounts?
What about the TOS saying you're only allowed one?

I bet I'm pretty stupid, and don't understand what you mean, but could you explain it?

You are 100% correct. Every individual, and every other legal entity - like LTD companies - is allowed only one single account. There have been threads about this before if it's a subject that interests you.

I'd say, "Move on, there's nothing to see here."

My accounts are showing me the same other than one core account which is seeing a general downturn in visitor numbers since companies are not seeking new supplies before their holiday breaks and individuals presumably delaying major purchases until after their holidays.

My percentage drop in visitor numbers mirror the holiday companies increase in those taking vacations.

I'm expecting further drops over the next few weeks, roll on the end of August!

i had my best day ever on the 26th also - however my eCPM was normal - it was my traffic that jumped quite a bit - 150% compared to last monday

- i finally broke $600 :) - the beginning of the month sucked though, earnings were down 30% from last month - I might catch back up if this traffic keeps up
