Economic crisis reaches German area

English sites at average German decreasing

[jetteroheller]

There was a severe decreasing of the English sites revenues, in the last 3 month of 2008.

The German sites also decreased, but much less than the English sites.

Now I see the English sites stable around the average of the time perios March 1st until now.

Now are the German sites heavy decreasing.

Seems econimic crisis reached the German area.

"Now" means by the beginning of April?

I mean, I had starting with March 31th a severe drop in revenues.

In this time, English sites perform at the average of March,
only German sites have a severe drop.

Same with my site. At that very time, there was a google pagerank update, maybe the rankings changed. I could not find any lost rankings, though.

Best day ever was Sunday, March 29, 2009 - then a 30% drop.

Are you located in Germany? It is some holiday time and exactly at the end of March the weather has changed significantly! Temperatures went from 5 to 20 degree celsius and rain was exchanged by sunshine.

This may have happened. This week will be warm, the weekend with Easter worse. Weather is a huge factor to consider.

jetteroheller, is it the same for your apprentice who you told us recently had broken through the $10 per day barrier?

hmm since 1 of April, I see 20% less traffic and today eCPM is low.

I have no explanation for this but it's affecting a multi-language domain and I don't understant why.

Ha made March $528, but the trends in April are, that he maybe has his first month with no income growth.

Do You not have different channels for each language?
