June 2011 AdSense Earnings & Observations

[HuskyPup]

Do we need to depress some of us for another month or, as coachm wrote:

It's funny at this point. I'm rooting for it to go lower, since I'd hardly lose any more money. Let's break a record!

Game on!

Hmmm... I like that May and June's Earning's and Observations threads both have HuskyPup as the initiator. I must say that HP is one of the reasons I drop by every day. How about making him a mod?

;)

Thanks Andrew however I don't know way near enough and I'd end up banning myself for arguing with OptiRex or someone similar! And typing on this Russian keyboard in Moscow is a nightmare:-(

Are click stats stuck today? Anyone seeing this? I'm seeing a ridiculously low CTR and eCPM with normal traffic and relevant ads showing on my sites.

> Are click stats stuck today?

Seems to be the norm these days. Impressions going up, clicks stuck.

I don't understand why people check their stats for today. What's important are yesterday's total earnings, earnings for today are absulutely no indicator for final earnings.

"I don't understand why people check their stats for today. What's important are yesterday's total earnings, earnings for today are absulutely no indicator for final earnings."

I think 'absolutely no indicator' is a little extreme. My experience is you can usually get at least some indication how a day is going to shape up.

[HuskyPup]

Yep, it's better to be pi$$ed off all day long instead of the once just reviewing the previous day's stats:-)

[littlegiant]

LOL... I usually like to look for a high point -regardless of what time of day that occurs- and then call it a 'day'. And then risk getting pi$$ed off the next morning. :D

Earnings last month were up over the month before, and this month is starting well.

[Atomic]

this month is starting well

Ditto. It's noon and I am at average daily earnings.

[netmeg]

Yep, me too. FWIW, it was looking like a rotten day yesterday, with stats running way way behind my own records, but by the time I got back from my godson's high school graduation (and good god nobody told me those things last three hours) it had dumped 3/4ths of my total clicks for a not-too-shabby day after all.

Just cause things seemed stable and they updated in real time in the past doesn't mean they still do.

[Leonard0]

Not for me. I usually have half the day's total at noon Google time. But today it's a quarter the normal daily average. So low that I actually read this thread.

Whatever happened to that guy? He hasn't posted here in years. :)

[johnmoose]

Last couple of weeks ads were getting more and more unrelated so I tried blocking them, but to no avail. So finally I rearranged some google_ad_section tags and blocked all ad networks. Maybe this will get the earnings back up again.

[JCKline]

Just as lowsey as May today.

[Play_Bach]

Click count hasn't moved in four hours.

[netmeg]

Mine's looking pretty good, except they've adjusted down at least twice. Even after that it's good, but geezopete. Leave my clicks alone.

[Play_Bach]

Just cause things seemed stable and they updated in real time in the past doesn't mean they still do.

Lately, watching stats during the day seems closer to fiction than reality. Too bad I'm so habituated to monitoring. Tough habit to break.

[andrewshim]

and this month is starting well.

NOT!

[Play_Bach]

Just had a tiny change in earnings. Hopefully there's much more to come!

Yeah... I miss OptiRex. Really fun guy with deep insights about Adsense. Heard he struck gold and is now sipping pina coladas on a tropical island somewhere in the Antarctic. He would have made a good Mod too.

[Play_Bach]

Three hours later, no change. Channel count totally out of sync with impressions, clicks.

[Mentat]

I've just had a shock...
The figures are 50% :o
eCPM is really small...

[Play_Bach]

June 1 stats never got any better. That's nearly 12 hours of virtually unchanged click and channel count. The only metric that looks even remotely close is impressions, everything else is way off and doesn't add up at all. I've seen some odd AdSense stats over the years, but this takes the cake.

[Mentat]

I have the final stats, it's normal, so it's low...
ePCM is lower every day!

[thechromeguy]

its getting to be clear to me that there are a lot of winners from the Panda updates which translated to Adsense earning. Looking through some flippa listing i saw a couple of sites getting the number one positions with really horrible content or copycat sites. You have surprise owners who want to get rid of them quickly before they loosed their new positions.

[sailorjwd]

Earnings today are already 3 x yesterday's total. But that ain't saying much. Maybe I'll go out and get a cup of coffee and a donut to celebrate.

[HuskyPup]

Wow, it's all NOT Happening today with AdSense for me...sucking stuck, a grand total of 706 impressions and USD 0.76 in earnings after 3 hours.

I get this feeling my dummy is going to get spat far and wide today!

[littlegiant]

My June 1 stats didn't improve either. Officially the worst day by far in the last five years. I've already made half of yesterday's total today by seven in the morning.

[kd454]

June 1st Google skimmed the top, made a few extra hundred million for themselves yesterday me thinks..

Never seen anything like that! June 1 = Record Low
