4.5% clawback for March.

[gatormark]

Another huge clawback. 8.1% for March, but I won't complain since my revenue is double what it was in the apocalyptic COVID March of last year.

[allhearts]

Happy April Fools, today is starting off with really low CPC, and that ain't no joke.

[IndyMattR]

5.3% clawback for March, but 107% up on last March (2020) so swings and roundabouts..

Relax, we only have a few hours in this new month

With thanks to CF and advanced rules within CF firewall where i have added Captcha or JS challenged to China, Russia, Brazil etc... and of course TOR users and all or majority of corporate IP addresses and i finally got it. Clawback is only 4.5%.

[allhearts]

Clawback is only 0.72% for me, I am very thankful.

[AlexB77]

I have a discrepancy here between my Estimated Earnings reported and Actual Finalized Earnings. It is only £9.76, but this is now happening every month. The clawbacks were insignificant, only 0.00052%. March 2021 compared to March 2020 is up by 243.1%.

@allhearts, yes it did start a bit slower than one would anticipate, but bear in mind it is Thursday before the long weekend here in the UK as well as some countries that celebrate Catholic Easter.

Good luck to everyone in April

@AlexB77

True, don't get me wrong, I'm not worried at all, almost every month starts off a little slow, and yes Easter weekend coming up won't probably help, have a great month.

[adsenseuser]

Yes March was good (low) for clawback here (0.53%)

[NickMNS]

March was good, very good, 2nd best month ever. Clawback was less than 2% including the money clawback on the 29th of March.

[TravelMan]

< 2% clawback. Very happy.

[MayankParmar]

3% clawback. Unexpected because my ad serving was limited for 8 days.

[CommandDork]

10.6% clawback, lower than normal, higher than I'd like.

I pretend I'm a Sicilian shop owner paying protection money to the mob every month. Helps to ease the pain.

[TravelMan]

My clawback is down from 38%

Blocked lots of ASN’s and bot traffic.

Best month in 12 months monetarily.

If you aren’t using a paid CDN with blocking tools then I suggest you do. Cloudflare is well worth the money I pay.

[Lisa01]

Are stats stuck or is it just me?

[deriklogov]

April seem slow

[ember]

Last April was when the bottom dropped out thanks to Covid. This April is starting off strong. Fingers crossed.

[allhearts]

Starting off slow for me, let’s see what happens as the month goes on.

[nova88]

April seem very slow for me

[gatormark]

March was a very good month however April is starting off very slow for me. My traffic is normal, but the revenue is down. This is concerning because April and May are typically great months for my niche. I know it’s a new quarter so maybe ad spending has dried up a little bit.

[adtech2]

Awesome March, super slow start to April indeed.

[Mentat]

Easter weekend was very good. Traffic today is good, but payment is record low.

[allhearts]

My traffic and earnings have been down over the past week.

[gatormark]

@Mentat

Easter weekend was very good. Traffic today is good, but payment is record low.

Was your March payment a record low or is your April revenue low?

[Mentat]

I have a very good year, for now, so March was super good.

Today for the first time I had an anchor ad on desktop. I guess they are experimenting and soon we will have anchor ads on desktop too (like they did with vignette). Good!

[Jori]

They remove link ads (that weren't ugly) to put anchor ads. I'm sick of this.

[Runfun]

Stats seem to be slow or not accurate. Yesterday it was slow and in the evening I earned half of the amount of the day.

Overall is Adsense just a fill up after much better paying solutions.

[allhearts]

What other better paying solutions @RunFun?
