November 2013 AdSense Earnings and Observations

Will we be giving AdSense thanks or will November be a Turkey?

[JCKline]

October was quite a ride. What will this month bring? Who will give thanks, and who will feel like a Turkey?

[Play_Bach]

Today earnings are already higher than any day all last month. Hope it lasts as October was the worst month ever.

[JCKline]

It's higher for me too, but nothing to get excited about. October was just dismal.

[explorador]

Yesterday #1 had to be low but it was the opposite, it was quite good, Oct sucks. Let's hope november stays as it goes.

[ordinarygal]

Nov 1 was a little better than any day in October for me, but today is really bad again... CTRs low, CPCs low.

[Mentat]

very low Saturday...

[Play_Bach]

So far earnings and clicks today are running at 50% of yesterday. Only a couple of hours left to go before this day is done, so I'll be very surprised if there's much movement before it's Sunday. Here's to hoping tomorrow is better!

[Moby_Dim]

Twice less than the same period of the last month...

[karkadan]

stuck? or horrible day...

[karkadan]

New low.... horrible horrible day... Remember, remember, this 5th of November... (Google I hate you! I will remember this day)

[eek2121]

What are they doing? I try not to be negative, but today is my worst adsense day ever, even though it's my busiest day ever. I wish that media.net would hurry up and get back to me...they HAVE to be better then adsense. This is ridiculous.

[karkadan]

I had a fantastic October (not like in the past years, but in comparison), and today is 25% of what I used to gain last year (and previous 6 years ago)... almost same traffic.

[snickles121]

CTR horrible here now too this month. Why are adsense ads is some users so faint now?

Great 05nov, stuck today

[chokko]

Earnings down 33 percent daily.....

[JCKline]

It's looking as bad as October on my end so far.

[explorador]

Sorry for the bad news...

In my case yesterday was very good. Today is mid day and I already got the usual full day amount. 98% of the times this happens, it stops and stays like that only gaining 1 or 2 clicks for the rest of the afternoon and night until the day is over... weird.

[ember]

weird

It is not weird. It is most likely your best advertisers running out of budget by mid-day and less relevant advertisers taking their place. Hence, fewer clicks or lower or epc or both later in the day.

[eek2121]

Just running a few reports in adsense...I'm still new to adsense, but for my site, the network with the worst RPM appears to be adwords itself, but it is also serving up the most ads. Some of the other ad networks with much better RPMs are serving up few, if any ads on my site. That is what is dragging my personal CTR/CPC down. That's my observation for this month. In prior months adwords RPM has been much higher, and I've also noticed that i've earned much more.

[JCKline]

Dire...

[EditorialGuy]

November has been dismal for us (probably for seasonal reasons). I've cut back from two AdSense units to one AdSense unit per page, at least for the next few months.

[explorador]

In terms of Adsense earnings yesterday was very good, all days should be like yesterday.

Ember: It is not weird. It is most likely your best advertisers running out of budget by mid-day and less relevant advertisers taking their place. Hence, fewer clicks or lower or epc or both later in the day.

Thanks, that's a good explanation of a possible (if not most probable) cause.

[greatstart]

Just when I thought October was the worst month, now we are into the first 8 days of November and it has gotten even worse. How low can it go?

[RedBar]

How low can it go?

I'm at 5% of my maximum earning months of a few years ago (UPS Club), all it pays for now is my hosting and a few beers.

I'm leaving it running since there is no global alternative for my products.

this forum is pure enticement.

If you want to look at it that way, fine, I've posted thousands of messages over the years, some have probably helped, some have probably not, it's up to yourself to decide which are telling the truth and which are possibly fakes, I know who to believe:-)

[ember]

you have all stopped insulting your employer

Google is not our employer.

[Mentat]

This Friday marks a new low in terms of eCPM...
I do not understand what is happening :(

[JCKline]

D E A D all day!

[breeks]

I am doing good today and have done good every day this month with Google ads and other channels

The Google ads I see on my sites are so far off topic its crazy. Its almost like they are picking the exact opposite of the subject matter.

Of course the ads I see are not what the visitor sees or CTR would be zero.

Interest-based ads are 17% of Adsense income for my sites, with very low CTR but high CPC. Contextual have double the CTR but 30% lower CPC.

I would like to see a real option to turn off Interest-based ads but its probably just a dream unless you're a premium publisher.

Monday is a non-working day in US?
It's Veterans Day...

If this is true => long week-end...
