The summer months are challenging for revenue. A lot of eyeballs are at the beach. However, summer can also be a time of great optimism. Here's to summer!

This month started slow, then picked up, and now in the past few days is gone to the shttr. Not what I would expect for month end, quarter end and half end. I guess budget were consumed early.

All holidays are good for me! They're some of the best times.

Of course, I experience a draffic drop during the weekend, as well (about 20%, 40% and 30% on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, respectively). I agree that that's arguably due to people being at home and not at work. Yet, I've also noticed that publishing an article in the weekend (especially on Sunday) usually results in much more engagement in FB than on all other days of the week and easily outperforms content published in those days. So, my guess is that there is actually less people on the internet in the weekend, but that there is also much less people publishing on the internet; therefore, you get less organic traffic but you could potentially get more traffic from social networking.

My June has ended with a total collapse and failure. After the first couple of week I thought I may make the minimum however the last 10 days were almost a flat line earning 30-50 cents a day.
So, ok I thought, I'll carry forward June's earnings until I just logged-in and saw an 18.04% clawback, WTF?
That's completely made my mind up, assuming I can earn enough during July to take me comfortably over the minimum, 'tis AdSense over and done with me come August.
Without a doubt the GDPR and non-personalised ads would appear to be the reason for this.
15 years, yep, 15 years of AdSense to leave with abject failure and never a word once in all that time from any "manager" even when I was in the UPS club.

June's earnings exceeded Mays. Clawback this month is the lowest ever, just 0.25% which in real money is just 40p.

Lowest claw back. A good month. Yay!
Summer vacation, Fifa will be over soon. Hopefully July will be better.

I was in the UPS club for a long time, and never once did I hear from any "manager."

Anyone else seeing balloons floating around the screen when you're checking your Adsense earnings?

Of course, it's Adsense's 15th anniversary, every 5 years, there is a special animation / design.

Like others June was higher than May and claw back was next to nothing.

Hello new quarter, July 4th week and middle of summer. I haven't missed you.

Funny, when I was a cubicle rat, I would love holiday weeks (like that of the 4th) and weekends in general. Now as a publisher these last 13+ years, I dread holiday weeks (due to lower earnings/traffic) and weekends (for the same reason). My favorite days are Mondays because I get to go back to work!
Yeah, I am seeing it too, probably because the month ended on a weekend plus 4th July holiday, advertisers have yet to restart their campaigns might be awhile which sucks :(
