July 2012 AdSense Earnings and Observations

[tonyolm]

There you go...

How is your July 2012 coming along...

[HuskyPup]

Oh dear oh dear oh dear ... A new record low for me Sunday almost mirroring Thursday with my EPC at 50% of the year's average and being my two lowest EPC days of 2012.

Nope, nothing's broken!

[JCKline]

Recond low Sunday here too, and today is looking worse so far.

[netmeg]

Slow day as my big AdSense season is essentially done for now, but it's amazing how a couple of very high paying clicks can cheer you up.

[zarathustra2011]

Today looks promising.

[azlinda]

Today looks promising to be another low day with a 90% drop across the board.

[Play_Bach]

> it's amazing how a couple of very high paying clicks can cheer you up.

I miss those days.

[breeks]

Traffic is way up today but AdSense is lagging behind.

[JCKline]

Still dead here. Google still thinks it's Sunday.

[Play_Bach]

All but dead here too.

[icedowl]

Traffic's normal but all that's happening is lookie-loo cents.

[azlinda]

My "Today so far" total is less than the total if you add up what my top channels have made. What's wrong with this picture?

[Play_Bach]

Click count unchanged. On track for another all time low AdSense day. :-(

[pranav]

Traffic increased, clicks increased, earnings down by 70%.

[zarathustra2011]

Finished on a good day. Should be on par with July last year, which wasn't a bad month.

[HuskyPup]

The saw tooth gets bigger!

After Sunday's record low Monday was 446.7% higher at 144.3% of my July average with EPC on average and 200% better than Sunday...madness.

Pranav: "Traffic increased, clicks increased, earnings down by 70%. "

This is exactly what im seeing. Actually, ive spotted something interesting in the adsense reports.

Traffic is up, CTR is up, clicks are way up in july, but that pattern started in June.

CTR and clicks about doubled starting in june for some reason. DOUBLED.
Then it looks like google smart pricing re-kicked in, and "went too far" and dropped CPC by up tp 75%.


This 75% drop in revenue is insane, and I find it hard to believe it can switch just like that, like someone threw a switch. Google is seriously #*$!ing something up here.

I almost fear im getting click bombed, and then smart pricing is over correcting.

Anyone else see a big jump in clicks starting in june?

[tidewatcher]

Yesterday was typical of recent days, good traffic all day, minimal clicks until late in the day. Woke up and was happy to find the daily total was almost at my annual average.

[WordsnCollision]

Slow starts seem to be the pattern of late but as Tidewatcher mentioned, the clicks usually catch up to where they should be later on in the day. Hopefully today's one of those days - the one measly click showing 7 hours into the day is looking very, very lonely right now.

[JCKline]

Yesterday ended as badly as Sunday, yet traffic was 3x higher and so where the clicks. It this point, I with the "saw blade" would return, but it looks more like a plateau. Today is looking as bleak as yesterday so far.

[Play_Bach]

Dead. Dead. Dead.

[tonyolm]

Up and down.... saw tooth

[JCKline]

Tuesday, 9:00 pm EST, clicks haven't budged in 4 hours. Just dead. So I added more content, emailed members....check tomorrow.

[MrSavage]

I get the sense that some fixes on my site(s) has brought back some decent paying clicks. I say this because today is juicy. In comparison to yesterday? 3 x yesterday is equal to earnings today. The only time I had swings like that in the past was when a server was down. Obviously in my situation the system is changed. I accept that reports are SNAFU at this point and may always be this way. Jeez. Add up 3 of one day and you make the total of another day? Nuts but normal it seems. I'm moderately optimistic about the future of my earnings.

[edinburgher]

Tuesday's totals are looking ok for me, however a couple of big channels have zero clicks which is statistically implausible.

Just at the moment there seems to be very little correlation between daily reports and the real world. Either data is being lost and/or reporting is being randomly delayed by up to a week or something else is happening. I keep seeing mentions here of occasional high paying clicks and get one or two myself, so for now I'm sticking with my CPA hypothesis.

Either way Google should say something. I know they won't, but they should.

[zarathustra2011]

Tuesday was looking very mediocre, then well into the day it suddenly soared, and I've woken up to find it's my best paying day since last December.

[opti_matrix]

its amazing July, in this 15days my site traffic has been doubled comparatively June..do more and more techniques to gain good traffic

[HuskyPup]

Blimey, what happened?

v July average

Page views 159.3%
CTR 93.7%
EPC 132.1%
ECPM 127.2%
Earnings 202.1%

Not only my best day of 2012, my best day since 7th November 2011.

So, in the space of three days I've gone from my lowest-ever day to my best day in eight months...errr...what's going on?

[HuskyPup]

Sorry, welcome to WebmasterWorld opti_matrix

Not related to OptiRex are you?

That's a joke for all the old-timers around here, no offence, good mate of mine:-)

[HuskyPup]

I went to their site, and guess what? Terrible landing page that immediately requires the user to create an account before they can do a damn thing!

I had to go have a look, never heard of them before and don't want to again. WTF are they doing landing on a login page?

Yet another business with over USD 51 million in venture capital trying to blow everyone away in their sector!

Google says "Thank you dumb a$$e$."

[fanboy]

My RPM is lower than usual but my traffic is up. I'm making about what I did last month.
