March 2011 AdSense Earnings

[tristanperry]

Perhaps a little early, but it's now into the 2nd day of March here in the UK soo... the March 2011 AdSense thread.

Yesterday I had a pretty good day. The rebound I seen at the end of Feb thankfully continued. Long may it continue!

March is actually going better than expected, mainly due to high EPC. CTR still much lower, but reached 2010 March total earnings yesterday, and still half the month to go.

[Play_Bach]

Glad to hear it netmeg - guess there's still hope! ;-)

[HuskyPup]

but reached 2010 March total earnings yesterday

Good going, I'm USD 16.00 down on the same March period 2010 so hopefully things seem to be getting back to normal for me.

Happy St.Patrick's Day!

I am now loving my March earnings! I just checked my account, and BOOM! I found out that another tool has been added to a major news letter. That's two SEO tools added in three days! Traffic is throught he roof. I hope they go through them one at a time...I better start building more.

G says adsense is now faster than ever.
I want to add smt: Revenue is now SLOWER than ever

I'm having an extremely good March. Today I thought I was going to break the record times 2... by 10am earnings equaled yesterday's. Then CTR ran out of gas. It's almost 4 pm and I haven't seen a click since then. Man I hate it when that happens...

Happy St Patrick's Day.

Happy St Patricks Day!

My earnings and traffic are low today. All my visitors must be drunk! LOL

[Mentat]

I had record earnings last wee, but in the last 3 days my revenue was cur by 30% :(
eCPM is plummeting...

Also, I see strange figures in Google Analytics - +30% more unique visitors, but the same number of page impressions.

[JCKline]

I feel like I'm dreaming! I had two SEO tools promoted in two iEntry newsletters in the last 4 days from the Jayde business to business search engine, and today I get another iEntry news letter from the small bussiness directory promoting the second SEO tool again! Traffic has been trough the roof...as well as bandwidth of coarse. I hope this continues, because when things fall back to normal, I'll be really depressed. I'm having a celebratory drink tonight!

[snickles121]

Thats great JCKline!

[JCKline]

Thats great JCKline!

Thanks snickles121!

The whole month has been worse. Earnings, compared to January 2011, are down by a whopping 30%. Scored my all-time 2011 lowest yesterday and I feel pathetic.

There is a new message on the Adsense dashboard today which talks about the "site maintenance." I really hope that things will be better after this, if not, then I have to seriously think about my future.

[Pepito]

So far, March 2011 is going good. 10% better of w.r.t the same days in February 2011 and 50% increase comparing to March 2010 with slightly lower traffic but a huge 60% increase in CPM. CRT the same.

[Play_Bach]

Glad to hear some of you folks are doing well this month. Congrats.

[zerillos]

for yesterday impressions, CTR and eCPM were a bit up, except earnings which made a drop. this doesn't really add up...
today the CTR is down to half the average and the eCPM is down to 1/4 of the average

does anyone else notice this?

[eniac]

@zerillos

me too for a week

[snickles121]

Terrible day today. Anyone else?

[freedata]

I think its a click dump, but i see better than any other sunday so far.

[tristanperry]

Had an awful Saturday, then a climp dump Sunday morning.

Then a worse-than-average Sunday, but things ended about average (might have been a click dump, not too sure).

[HuskyPup]

Unusually I had precisely the same click volume Saturday and Sunday with Sunday's earnings being 16% more than Saturday's.

Sunday's EPC was +23% above the month's average...nice:-)

[eniac]

yesterday was very bad
today is still bad. One of website ctr is almost 0
another site has not bad ctr but ecpm really bad.
What does G do in maintance period?

[Play_Bach]

Yesterday = lowest earnings all month. :-(

[snickles121]

Every time Google does a maintenance day, earnings are usually pretty low for me. Looks like I might of had a click dump today though. Well see by the end of today to see how it holds up.

[HuskyPup]

Very low CTR today, 50% of normal, stats delayed?

[eniac]

pageviews up, the rest is on the floor
one of my site has never below %5 ctr rate except today and yesterday. it has %2 ctr which is not acceptable for me, no way

[HuskyPup]

Horrible CTR for Monday, worst CTR day of the month so far, worst day before yesterday was -19% off average, Monday was -33% with a lower click volume than either Saturday or Sunday.

My second data loss day of the month, if things are normal there'll be another one!

[JCKline]

Another one of my SEO tools was added to this huge newsletter again today. That's 4 tools in 4 newsletters in one week, so my traffic and earnings are quite high for me. I cannot complain, nor can I comment on what normal is this week... :D

[eniac]

G and data loss.
[news.cnet.com...]

no body can prove the same thing happened to adsense data or not

G and data loss.

I beleive this is a seperate issue as the servers, etc., for Gmail are seperate from AdSense.

[scotland]

Are we allowed to use the word "cr*p" as this summarises my March earnings and today is worse than normal
