Are Advertisers Paying Less this Month?

Down to Two Cents Per Click

[PFOnline]

I know my sites not in the most lucrative paying area.

But I've seen and averaged 20 cents a click at one point.

Are advertisers paying less all the sudden, or is Google scraping more off the top?

Anyone else experiencing similar, this month?

At a well known domain name forum there is talk today by a member who say's he installed the new IE7 and as a result Adsense does not display anymore as the new browser seems to be somehow blocking it!

I am wondering if this could be the reason for the ongoing declines in revenue since IE7 was recently released?

As an indication this may be valid in my earlier post I reported my network traffic up about 25% over past several weeks (and just now realized my Adsense impressions are down during the time period). That would go hand in and with the release of IE7 and income being down at same time roughly 25%.

trader, any information available on how many people have installed IE7?

No idea. Maybe someone else knows?

IDN people in particular are pushing it heavily since it supports Puny Characters and IDN Characters.

I have IE7 on two out of four computers, and I see AdSense just fine.

I'm using IE 7, too--with the defaults--and AdSense displays just fine.

There were reports that an earlier beta version of IE7 wasn't displaying AdSense ads correctly, but older betas shouldn't be confused with the release version.

Someone just emailed me that the search box on one of my sites was tossing up runtime errors in AOL when he went to click on one of the results - he's got IE7, but I have no idea what AOL uses these days as its native browser. Used to be a modified version of IE, but I dunno about now.

Before there were replies to the question, I started a thread about it over in the Browsers forum.

It appears it may be an issue with the beta version. A problem is I believe most IE7 users are in fact still using the beta version which was widely downloaded from what I understand but the non-beta was recently released.
