September results are depressing. Not that the dollar value was so bad. But this was the first month this year where I earned less than the same month last year. This is significant because I have had steady traffic growth this year. This month I reached new records in traffic. YoY my traffic has doubled, but my revenues are less than what they were when I had half the traffic.
As I wrote i few days ago this the result of low CTR and CPC. The last few days seemed to improve in terms of CPC, so hopefully that trend will continue into October.
I also had biggish (for me) clawback in the order 5%.
@Skynet84 Like? The placement and everything related to AdSense is managed by the Google's Certified partner. It should be perfect :/
They're not. You have at least one infraction in desktop and another one in mobile.

Ugh, bad earnings. We generally limit our ads to 3 per page. If it is a good ad, about something visitors are interested in, I think they click it. Position is part of it, but have well designed ads that are on topic is always the best return for us. It ebs and flows...when the junk ads come...less clicks...of course.

Content is not the King, my content has been used for ten years and I never update my site

@egem I don't know how you can guarantee your visitors see the ads that you want them to see, I don't think Google works like that. I bet that if I came to your website I would see something completely different to what other visitors see. There's not a lot of point in an advertiser paying a lot of money when the person looking at the ad is not going to use their business.
I think content probably is one of the top priorities a web designer should try and get right so that visitors stay on the page. However, saying that you should update on a regular basis is ludicrous. The content I have written doesn't need updating and I've not updated it in quite a few years.
