May 2022 AdSense Earnings and Observations

[allhearts]

Hope it's a good Month for everyone, good luck.

[adtech2]

@gatormark - yes, many do cut. We increase our ad spend as well, assuming we're in a position to. We are, this time.

[Sissi]

-10 % against May 21
Hopefully June is better

[ronron]

Same over here. About 9-10% down compared with last year every month starting around March.

[gatormark]

Horrendous Sunday numbers. The worst that I can remember. Saturday is typically the worst day of the week for me and even though my Sunday traffic was better than Saturday’s, my revenue was worse.

[capulkit]

April was already down. May is 40% down compared to April. Hope June recovers lost revenues in last 3 months.

[Sissi]

A good start today finishing with a real time clawback of high 2 digit amount….
Quite frustrating even if complaining at high level

[gatormark]

@Sissi
That’s crazy because I do not see real time clawbacks anymore.

[Sissi]

It does permanently
My feeling is also that revenues are capped or the ads allocation is limited

[Sissi]

0% of the month clawback but ca. 5 % on real time basis (3 digit nominal)

[allhearts]

0% clawback as well.

[allhearts]

I'm only about half a day into the new month but what a horrible start, worst start to a day since I can remember, CPC and RPM as a result have tanked.

[Sissi]

We should prepare for a dry summer

[gatormark]

@Sissi

I rely a lot on students so June through August are always very dry months for me. I typically spend these months enhancing my websites.

[gatormark]

This is going to be a very rough summer.

[Sissi]

@Gatomark

Enhancing to try to maintain a solid revenue level is right.
A website that is Adsense approved can always generate new pages with new unique creative contents a niches are there for every language almost

[adtech2]

Time to work extra extra extra hard to keep growing in this environment. While we see monetization broadly declining across units, our traffic is rapidly growing and thus we are still growing, albeit much slower than expected.

[Sissi]

The number of publishers with daily earnings in 3 digit levels is probably reduced week by week

[gatormark]

I finally saw a clawback during the day today. First time I've seen that in a while.

[Breathofair33]

Lol yea we need to start June thread now..

I'm very close to 3 digit average daily earnings but it appears ad spending has decreased and still seems to be so far in June for me..

[deriklogov]

Anyone stat stuck ?

[surnames]

Hi netmeg, been a while!

stats been stuck here for 5 hours

[netmeg]

At least! I'm getting better numbers out of Analytics.

[Breathofair33]

Yes also stuck

[allhearts]

Yes, been stuck for me since early afternoon (about 5 hours and counting).

[LuisRodriguez80]

Same thing for me. Over 5 hours.

[ember]

Analytics numbers look great. Adsense not so much - stuck last six or so hours anyway.

[thomascmallory]

Analytics is alive while adsense dashboard stuck for more than 9 hours now and counting.

[LuisRodriguez80]

It seems to be fixed already on my Adsense account. Numbers seems correct now.

[surnames]

yep, adsense figures back to normal here, too

[Sissi]

Back to normal - 20% against last year same period
