July 2011 AdSense Earnings & Observations

[HuskyPup]

Come on G, shake things up a bit, you're becoming far too predictable!

[HuskyPup]

Firebug usually does it for me.

How could it do that when it's a flash ad that has to be completed before it can be sent to...wherever?

I'm not saying it can't, I've just looked at it, installed it, played with it and wonder how it can help me work it out?

For the moment I'm simply guessing the URL(s).

Am I missing something, this is usual for me since I always do things the complicated way!

[Atomic]

You have to drill down a few levels, but the URL is down there.

[Play_Bach]

Going on eight hours, click count frozen solid.

[Freedom]

Just came back and logged in, WTF is going on? That's ugly horrible.

[jmccormac]

Strange. Up today compared to yesterday.

I'm way down from yesterday, and yesterday was BAD!

[Play_Bach]

Lowest earnings since 2004. There's just no way that makes sense. Something is messed up. Anybody else?

[Freedom]

Possibly, the economy is spooked by events in Washington, and the fact that the recession reignited a bit starting in May. I think there's a lot of money sitting on the side because everyone is cautious, not sure what's going to happen. People I talk to today said they were thinking of taking their money out of the bank. They are worried about a chain reaction setting things off.

Probably a bit of paranoia, but perception in business can rule.

I just hit an all time monthly high with four days left in July.

[HuskyPup]

My CTR is now averaging 75% of post-Panda 2.1 average...EPC excellent...holidays/broken/lack of interest/something else?

[alika]

Got the highest revenue yesterday for the whole year :o)

Panda Update 2.3 has been very good to us. Traffic and income just shot up since July 23, after constantly seeing red in my Google Analytics for most of our keywords

[foxionutz]

Yesterday i had noticed a very very wierd thing:
~12:30(UK Time) = GBP4.
~14:00(UK Time) = GBP5.50

Guess what ?
~18:00(UK Time) ... GBP 1.30 ?!?!?!?!?!?!
Final earnings for yesterday: GBP4.21

Usually i made GBP20 each day from one site but starting with 15 july CPC and income is with 80% lower (GBP4-5/day)
I have the same number of vistors(85% from google)(~500/day) and the same number of clicks (20-55/day)

Welcome to WebmasterWorld foxionutz and to the whacky world of AdnonSense:-)

Yet another low CTR day, now at 50% of post_Panda 2.1, HOWEVER I am averaging USD 1.00 per click ... am I confused, you bet.

I blocked Google, Groupon and Vodafone .coms and .co.uks yesterday, could this have anything to do with it?

"Panda Update 2.3 has been very good to us. Traffic and income just shot up since July 23, after constantly seeing red in my Google Analytics for most of our keywords"

I've also noticed some changes for the better since the weekend. Yesterday was my best day since mid-April and CPM has been steadily rising. One other interesting change is that Google Analytics shows a big boost in Google/Organic while Google.com/Referral has shrunk to a fraction.
Here's hoping the latest algo update went a ways towards correcting the original Panda's "swat a fly with a sledgehammer" approach.

[zarathustra2011]

I wouldn't mind a dollar a click, I could live on that quite comfortably. :)

[Play_Bach]

Yesterday closed at 10%. :-(
Good to hear some others here did well - congrats to you all.

same here, but since 2007... it's like no one is clicking on the ads anymore. this can't be right!

[Freedom]

Have the clicks moved in the last 2 hours? I came back and have the same amount of earnings that I did 2 hours ago.

I think their whole system went wacky when they introduced that new click counting system.

[azlinda]

I have been stuck for several hours now.

[Freedom]

azlinda, no click movement or page view movement? Here, there's been absolutely no click movement, and the page views moved a little, but are way far off from my stat counters.

[JCKline]

Today is really stuck on my end as well. I heard the hamsters went bowling.

[HuskyPup]

My second biggest site now has a 0.10% CTR...fubard, totally fubard!

I can feel a switch-off happening on 31st July with my sites.

[Freedom]

Huskypup, have you seen any click movement in the last 2-3 hours?

[HuskyPup]

Literally 2-3 clicks, that's all.

[HuskyPup]

I'm not going to say click dump however I did just get another 6 clicks...maybe someone's stuffed a load of suppositories up the Panda?

[azlinda]

Very strange. No clicks, but CTR went down along with eCPM! Those two were the only things moving - downward!

[JCKline]

Very strange day indeed.

[Freedom]

It's gone up some since last post but overall seems to be about 3 hours behind.

[JCKline]

All stats seem way behind.

[jmccormac]

The clicks haven't moved since about 15:00 local time. It is now 23:11. Impressions have been increasing so it looks like they've banjaxed something again.
