The Un-Official November 2007 Poll

Vote: was it good, so-so, or ugly?

[dibbern2]

ts that time again for you to 'fess up and give Nov 07 the thumbs up or down.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10.0 being absolutly great on a level of metaphysical certitude, 5.0 being steady-eddy no change, and 1.0 being 'ARGHHHH! This stinks!, cast your vote.

Optional: are your AS ads US, Europe, Asia, or world based?

While a one-sentance comment would be nice, this isn't the place to get noisy about what you think is right or wrong, or ask questions about the program.

I'll start: I'm US based, and Nov was a 9.5.

[tim222]

My best month ever. In fact, it became my highest-earning month yesterday afternoon.

[akhater]

my best month ever too 1.5x the average

[doclove]

This was my worst month in 2 years. I would give it a 3. my AS is US and I don't do video or referrals.

[europeforvisitors]

So-so, or slightly better.

My November AdSense eCPM is running at 96% of September and October's, which isn't bad, considering that November and December are my slow season. (Affiliate bookings are down a lot more than 4% at this time of year.)

[chinook]

good month 9 (especially after October) adsense referral came through also so nice bonus

[jomaxx]

How many of these polls do we really need? Some people are up, some are down, some only show up to post when they want to vent. When we try to draw any conclusions at all from these threads, we're taking the term "unscientific" to whole new levels.

4.371 US

[BillyS]

Best month ever

[Atomic]

Best month ever. Earnings are about 10% above last month which was a record month, 10% above the previous month. I know I said this last month but that's how the chips fell.

November 2007 earnings are 400% November 2006's. eCPM is so close to this year's average that I'd call it average. It's barely deviated all year.

Can't complain.

[proboscis]

US based I give it a 1.

Worst month since 2005.

I like reading these positive posts though, it gives me hope.

Nothing related to AdSense is scientific. In fact, this poll is "AdSensetific" :)

[Januuski]

9.5 November was very good. But 99.99% of my ad revenue was from direct advertising. Does it count?

[FourDegreez]

Congrats to all the best-monthers.

For me it was an average, 5 or 6. But I am quite happy with average. :)

[ArtistMike]

Last year's Nov. lets say $500...

This year's Nov. lets say $300...

Is that up or down?

Mike

[trinorthlighting]

Compared to last November, we are about equal for November.

Compared to October 2007, we are up 40% in income.

[asinah]

November was a good month for us, for both AS and direct advertising. During Thanksgiving our revenues tanked by 40% and the ads wasn't targetted.

[dollarshort]

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, it did.. seen new lows this month. Trending down for over a year now. No scrapers, no mfas, no funny stuff.

[loudspeaker]

US

My vote: 3.1415926

[mixart]

Best month ever for me also

Up 15% from last month
Up 2500% from last November (but my site, traffic and content has changed drastically since then)

My first >2K month also :)

[OnlyToday]

I'll give it a 4.5. Slightly better than October which was itself about 30% down from the previous average. The first 9 days of November were completely glitchified, while the balance of the month was about 95% of the pre-glitch (Oct.17) level.

[Scurramunga]

World based but predominantly US.

3.5

[Hobbs]

11

[jchampliaud]

10 - Nov was the best month I ever had.

[HuskyPup]

I'll give it a web 2.0 simply because I have earned something however in comparison to the effort & content it's a -5.0 if that were possible!

Global...& I like these type of threads:-)

[Chapman]

Sites with predominantly non-US/UK visitors were a 2 while the US/UK visitor sites were a 4. Overall... earnings were off about 30% from November 2006.

The "Misery loves company" and "It's nice to know AdSense is still functioning properly for at least some publishers" posts are always an enjoyable read!

Chapman-

[berto]

4, down a bit

[grigoroo]

3 and sinking until the 28th, then back to a 5.

[icedowl]

About all I can say is that November was better than September and October combined. Still way down from 2006.

I guess I'll call it a 5.
