Promoted eCommerce Links then AdSense Earnings Dropped - Related?

[Hershon2000]

Hi, I just joined hoping to get better info on Adsense than on the Adsense Forum which I find totally useless- If English isn't your second language you rarely will get replies there!

Anyway, for about a week now my Adsense Clicks and earnings for my blog have gone from around $3 a day and 9 clicks to maybe 4 cicks a day and 75 cents if I'm lucky and somehow they all seem to come in 1 or 2 clumps no longer scattered throughout the day. I live in the US by the way.

My first question is, about 2 weeks ago, I started putting my plugs on my E-Commerce sites on the last line of my Blog Article Text instead of below it.

The Bottom line is coincidence or not, since I put my plug as the last sentence on my articles instead of a paragraph after the article my E-Commerce Sales have Tripled so I'm going to continue doing that no matter what.

Could this be why my Adsense has dropped so badly? If so, I'm going to keep doing this because I'm making good money on my E-Commerce Sites.

Or is this drop cause Google started playing around with Out of Network ads?

Putting ads at the top of the page pays best.

Yes!

And if your ecommerce sales tripled, well that sounds like a good thing.
