September 2011 AdSense Earnings & Observations

[HuskyPup]

August 2011 was better than I expected, is everyone ready to get back to work and do some serious clicking in September?

[Play_Bach]

Yesterday closed at 30%. Lowest day all month.

[zarathustra2011]

Having a solid Sunday so far.

[ken_b]

Yesterday closed at 30%.

30% of what?

[Play_Bach]

> 30% of what?

Of average (or what used to be) daily earnings.

[JCKline]

Yesterday was OK, today seems very slow.

[HuskyPup]

I'm assuming 9/11 effect today...right/wrong?

[jinxed]

Very low so far.

[Atomic]

No idea why, but September's CTR is about 160% of August's.

[oakie]

Today was a good day. a bit above average combining a healthy number of clicks with lower than average CPC.

[Zivush]

I'm assuming 9/11 effect today...right/wrong?

Yes it is 9/11 affecting the earnings.
advertisers lowered their bids.
I have just seen the same behavior in other ad networks.

[HuskyPup]

An interesting Sunday earnings being my best post-Panda Sunday at 132% of August/September average and, as I witnessed last week, mostly appearing overnight...the downside is that I'm still running at 44.6% of the same period 2010.

My EPC average was very good at 120% of September average...don't stop G!

[JCKline]

9/12 STUCK!

[tonyolm]

If we just talk percentages....

If friday was 100% then sat/sun were both ~ 30% of what I earned friday.... Monday is already 110% of what I earned friday and it's only 2pm here.

[sid786]

Whoa! Stuck like never before. Seriously, am I the only one?

[zarathustra2011]

Today's looking extremely good!

[JCKline]

@sid786, It's not just you. My impressions are 1/3 of the norm at this time.

[netmeg]

I'm fine but I'm getting mega pissed about this reporting issue for August final numbers, and nothing at all from Google. Imma go full netmeg on 'em before too much longer.

[Atomic]

@Netmeg - give us a warning please so we can lower our blast shields.

[zarathustra2011]

I know not many people will want to hear this, but yesterday was my very best day ever with Google Adsense!

[koan]

September has been simply atrocious so far... the decline started at the end of August. More abuse from Panda and low click rates.

[pelizden]

yesterday was excellent day, today started very slowly

[njstangers]

Site is sucking wind today, first saw good adsense revenue early in the am and it went down to cents a click which is crazy.

my thread with advice on this: [webmasterworld.com...]

[zarathustra2011]

Having another great day today.

[WordsnCollision]

Hmm, best day of the month so far yesterday and if CPM holds, a similar great day by the end of today. What did I do... ahh, busy with "real" writing and I didn't post any new content since Sunday. Wondering if Google's Smart Pricing discounts clicks coming direct from my front page? With nothing new, a bigger pctage of clicks comes from search. Makes sense, or am I taking crazy pills again?

[tonyolm]

I'm above my daily average so far for today...

AND I received a youtube invite to monetize my videos with an approval afterwards. It can't be because of views though. I don't know what triggered that.

[JCKline]

Yesterday ended well after being stuck most of the day. Today, stuck again.

[thechromeguy]

I hope its stuck, super low income and horrible CTR.

[jmccormac]

It seemed to freeze around 1800GMT and then didn't even move.

Regards...jmcc

[andrewshim]

It seemed to freeze around 1800GMT and then didn't even move.

yep. frozen like a popsicle in the arctic.

[zarathustra2011]

How very strange. Two days ago I hit my highest single earning day ever. Yesterday I made exactly the same amount to the cent. What are the chances of that!
