Is anyone else seeing a delay? I'm literally seeing zero clicks, zero CPC, zero CTR etc.

A new Low for Adsense payment this Saturday.

Between loosing a whole whack of traffic and AdSense's horrid performance, things are really looking grim. Time to stop looking a stats for a while and focus on improving things.

A new Low for Adsense payment this Saturday.

Same here... 26p

I remember when a bad day for me would be £25

[frankleeceo]

Seeing highest relative RPM of the month in March.

[MayankParmar]

@Frankleeceo Same here!

No impact on earnings while traffic is low, thanks to high CPCs and RPM :D

[Ironside]

I'm still ahead of January and February. Saturday was about average from what I have now begun to accept as normal, 30 clicks 15p CPC. If I could get more clicks then it would be great. However, I think the improvement this month is down to me reducing the number of ads I have on my pages. I have been tempted to put some more ads on the pages but I think that may have a negative impact. I think I'll just let March carry on as it is unseemly how we go. I think I'll probably leave everything as it is through the month of April is any different.

terrible lowest cpc

[Ironside]

Up to 13 click so far today will 18p CPC so that's not too bad

[EditorialGuy]

We've been doing okay lately, despite reducing ad coverage in the Ad Balancer. Up yesterday and up for the last 7 days (but down 12% for MTD vs MTD last year).

So, prepare for Easter.
Two weeks of Easter! (Catholic and Orthodox)

[RedBar]

So, prepare for Easter.

Already done that, my daily average has plummeted since the last algo update and the new refreshing of the index has resulted in loads of blank ads again.

It really doesn't matter to me now that I'm under a Dollar a day living in a "first world" country, Google's fubard many of us who have provided them with their riches, it is no wonder the company is so despised.

[Maximum44]

Stellar page RPMs today over here. Income is almost at double what's "normal". Lets hope it stays that way.

[MayankParmar]

Seeing same trend here, @Maximum44!

What's up with the Easter tho? Does that mean earnings will skyrocket during this phase? :D

[NickMNS]

@Maximum44 same here. I almost fell off my chair when I saw my figures. I made more before 8am this morning than all day yesterday.

[frankleeceo]

I think it's the end of quarter effect rather than easter :). Upcoming sunday / monday might tank again.

[Maximum44]

Well it did not stay the way i hoped. Turned out to be a pretty average day.

CPC 0.1 ----> 0.05---->0.02 in March

[Ironside]

Yesterday wasn't that brilliant at all. CPC was 13p. Today it's up 42p. However, I've only had three clicks so far so I expect that figure to drop as the day goes on. Having said that, I can see that one click that appears to have generated £1.07.I can only see one click that is registering 2p. That's why these figures don't make much sense to me. All I look at is the earnings and don't really pay much attention to anything else.

[MayankParmar]

There was a mp4 ad with 1.7mb size hosted on AWS S3! It was slowing down the site.

[cyberkix]

CPC 0.1 ----> 0.05---->0.02 in March, adblocker, low coverage %, low click rate and low cpc, we all die

[Ironside]

Up to 12 clicks and I have now dropped down to 24p CPC.

[cyberkix]

England has the lowest CPC among 4 english countries

Has anyone else noticed a help chat box popping up when you are using the Help pages? I was on a help page today and the box came up and the rep asked if I had any questions about what was on the page.

[MayankParmar]

This sounds more like a Live Chat?

[ember]

It was a live chat but I didn't initiate it. I have chat as a help option, but I have to initiate that during specific hours if I want to talk to someone. This just popped up out of nowhere. They saw that I was reading help pages and offered live help. Cool but also a little creepy.

[MayankParmar]

They have a same thing on Google News Publisher Help :)

[Cornish]

I saw that somebody mentioned Ezoic in this thread. Is it something many people on here use, please?

Are you sure it wasn't a chatbot?

[MayankParmar]

@Cornish Ezoic is nice. But I prefer PubGalaxy for additional ads these days :)

[Cornish]

Thanks Mayank. Having to change my nameservers (their code method broke my site) is putting me off. It feels like too much of a risk.
