September 2015 AdSense Earnings and Observations

[RedBar]

Will those of us who have seen recent big falls in earnings recover this month or not?

[frankleeceo]

Where do you go to enable those full page mobile or sticky ads features? Is it a beta testing feature? I just want to see what they look like, or can someone give a screenshot?

I personally will not opt for it though...It feels like one of those google's left hand offering a cookie and right hand (algo) slapping kind of deal. Even if it gives better earning for the short term, traffic will probably get a slap.

[RedBar]

Please tell me that a red bar is required? After nearly 10 hours 3 clicks and 45 cents is taking the pi$$

[Mentat]

very low Page Impressions, normal # of clicks, good pay => good results, but I cannot explain the Page Impression count.

No red bar yet...


23.09 is Yom Kippur, maybe we have a lot of jewish visitors :)

[MrSavage]

Comical.

[RedBar]

I can only assume that the "cull the puiblishers" suggestion may hold water!

Wednesday's PVs 105.4%

EPC 52.1%
RPM 41.8%

A new record low daily earnings heading towards zero and certainly not enough for the monthly minimum if it were to continue into October like this.

Only a week until 30th September and EU cookie compliance, who's going to blink first?

I fully comply however will there be ANY advertising whatsoever on my sites, it's looking extremely doubtful?

[Ironside]

Can someone tell me how I implement one of these pop-ups for the cookie compliance?

[Leosghost]

Read the EU cookie thread..
[webmasterworld.com...]
a method is outlined in there..

Seeing some very high value clicks on one of my sites yesterday and today.
Should I expect a clawback?

[glitterball]

As feared the clicks have now disappeared - no high value clicks allowed for me ;-(

[avalon37]

Yesterday was one of my better days of the past couple months...and so far today AdSense is saying 0 clicks like 75% through the day.

[Mentat]

I feel a new Local update from what I can see on my stats.

[MrSavage]

I don't want to sound overly dramatic, but for the hell of it I checked my results from yesterday.

If I cared about this, I would have put a fist through my monitor out of frustration seeing those earnings.

However, this is on a path to demise/failure so if anything, it's expediting plans. Taking positive from negative.

An observation I just noticed on the Adsense homepage was the logo. Rather it was the color choice I found interesting. Rather than being green, to indicate cash, it's gray, like the color of loose change (coins). I'm reading too much into it, but I need to find some humor.

Hi, just want to unsubscribe from the thread, hence this post. Wow, why is it so annoying! Constant emails..

[RedBar]

Awesome G, almost 9 hours into an AdSense day and so far 4 clicks and 50 cents ... do you really think I'm worried about you closing my account with this kind of crap?

[SEOPTI]

Even loan CPA leads pay more these days for all sort of traffic than madsense. Madsense is a dead horse.

[breeks]

I think they should rename to Nonsense

[radix]

I've just offered G to take back the monies coming with 2 clicks on one of the sites. One of them was supposed to earn me 0.000497300 USD, the other 0.00152742 USD.

My offer was made through their Send feedback panel. Wonder if they respond and what.

[Ironside]

Has anyone been getting notices in their account saying that if they unblock certain categories you can and a lot more money each week?

A ripping day so far today. Lots of traffic, big clicks and good money. Never mind about allowing ads for drugs, I think Adsense is already taking them.

[Barrelroll]

Is anyone else's "current balance" still $0.00? I'm getting daily earnings but my current balance still shows $0.00 on the adsense main page.

[Ironside]

Earnings are not too bad so far, if it carries on I should do quite well today. To be honest, I'm not really bothered what ads show on my website, as long as it's money in my pocket it's really irrelevant to me.

[trebuchet]

Is anyone else's "current balance" still $0.00?

The "Current balance" stays at $0.00 until the end of the month, when your earnings are finalised. "Estimated earnings" shows your running total for the month.

[Barrelroll]

Thank You :)

[Mentat]

I don't know if this is Adsense related, but after seeing my traffic going dramatically down in some countries, I studied and the last week was like Easter for Jews and Muslims.

So, things should improve tomorrow.

Just too many disastrous days this month. I'm on track to not even meet the minimum in Sept., first time that's happened since a few months after I first joined in 2003.

[regiborg]

Now believe that adsense is dead!

[RedBar]

It's become amusing now to see just how low it can get without it actually being zero, so far today after nearly 10 hours I have 4 clicks and 90 cents, whoopie doo, I'll be able to get smashed on that in the pub tonight!

I'm hardly surprised my clicks are so low, the ad targetting is atrocious however an educated guess is telling me that they hardly have any inventory in my widget sector and even those are really low paying now.

The first part of the month was up on August however since the 19th Sept I have not had ONE single day that has earned my September daily average but I have had a couple of days when clicks were above average yet they still didn't make the average earnings.

Damn, and I wanted a threatening letter from Google to expel me for "whatever" reason ... fubard for me and many others without a doubt.

After a year of ever decreasing returns,I made one change and my returns are almost the same as one year ago. The change was,,I stopped separating and naming all my same size ads from different placements on my site.

So instead of using different code for different placements,Now I use the same ad code for all my ad placements.

The only other thing that I have changed recently,was adding the EU cookie announcement,but as nobody else has said about any upturn and attributed it to this, I assume it is the site wide ad code.

The only other thing that I have changed recently,was adding the EU cookie announcement,

I added that about 9-1 and let it sit as the only change for a couple of weeks. I saw no significant affect on my earnings that I could attribute to the cookie notice.
