It's June 1st: Any Noticeable Changes in AdSense Earnings?

[MikeNoLastName]

Does this mean the MAJORITY of WebmasterWorld posters were killed off by the Adsense June 1 crack-down. So Sad. Ce La Vie!

[Khensu]

CTR, eCPM and ACP (average click price) all up 20%

Same traffic volume as May.

Means I'll get a normal check in the summer and a larger one in the fall. (usually I have a 20% dip)

[blairsp]

so to sum up. Some people are up some people are down. Just a typical earnings thread then here on WebmasterWorld.

As of today, my June eCPM is almost exactly the same as last year's for June 1-7, with a slightly lower EPC but a slightly higher clickthrough rate.

Overall site traffic: up 10%
Page views with Adsense: unchanged
Ads shown: down 5% (a direct result of the reduction of ad blocks per page)
EPC: down 25%
CTR: down 15%
Revenue: significantly down

No good surprises, no bad surprises, just what Yogi Berra would have called "deja vu all over again."

Yeah, no surprises, especially no good surprises.

It'll be inteesting to see if Saturday's scheduled maintenence will affect future figures :-)

If my EPC goes any lower I'll have to start paying Google every time someone clicks on an ad on my site.

Farmboy, don't do it! Paying Google for Adsense clicks would create a whole new kind of click arb. Google would probably punish you with a reverse ban, forcing you to put more and more sites on the web!

Just think, it could be followed by reverse quality scores, reverse page rank, Google sending you e-mails complaining about ad targetting and quality. Next thing you know, you'll be writing them to suspend their account!

My earnings for the 1st 7 days of June are up about 20% compared to 2006, which has been pretty much the norm this year. Not expecting much from Google (or most other companies, people, etc.) does have it's own unique set of benefits.

Have a great weekend!

So far in June, EPC down about 20% from last month. Traffic down a bit too.

[netchicken1]

Mine is about 10% higher than usual for ecpm, but the biggest changes has been the seemingly decrease in posts on this site!

Is it my imagination or have 1/2 the posters gone?

Is it my imagination or have 1/2 the posters gone?

It does seem that way, but it's summer, so maybe they're at the beach.

Earnings are up about a third over the same period last year.
Part of it is due to more impressions and part due to higher CTR. Higher CTR is probably mainly due to changes in ad size that I made last year.
Earnings per click are down slightly.

[HuskyPup]

EPC rose slightly 1-7 June however 8-11 has seen an overall 11.56% reduction.

Not very impressed right now and I'm definitely getting substantially more sub 0.10 clicks than I used to from AdLinks, my leaderboard is holding up well.
