Adsense During The Holidays

Is yours going up or down?

[Rick42]

hey all,

I just wanted to share some thoughts with all the Adsense publishers in WebmasterWorld with regards to my Adsense performance so far for December...because it is by far the worst month for me in a looooooong time.

My CTR has improved and the eCPM is steady but it seems like the small decrease in traffic I am seeing is affecting the revenue significantly, and is more then good cause for me to start worrying.

Is anyone else seeing decreases in traffic or Adsense revenue?

Any thoughts and/or comments are GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks to all in advance and I wish everyone in here a great holiday!

Check the IP in your logs, make sure it was really Google, not a scraper using the same user agent.

Yep, they've been back again, gawd they're chewing up my bandwidth today...I don't suppose it really matters that much since no one else is!

My entire niche sector is a disaster zone now, apart from my directory site it's a complete and utter useless shambolic mess...woohoo...another USD 0.01...

Woohoo...it gets better, it's now earned USD 0.08...a 0.01 click,

Wow! you make that much a day? I wish... ;)

December's been a pretty bad month, I'm hoping right after Christmas it will pick up a little bit before the new year.
