Old trends are out the window, Adsense is so unpredictable now.

[MMedi26]

Forgot how terrible Christmas Eve and Christmas Day was.

[allhearts]

Not much to look forward to till the end of year. Now just wait until the full implementation from CPC to CPM is done and over with, so we can see where we stand.

[Sissi]

There is a life after Adsense

Merry Xmas to All

[allhearts]

Yes, but a much harder one, it was good while it lasted.

Merry Christmas everyone.

[MMedi26]

C’mon guys let’s be optimistic lol

[MMedi26]

October-December, my CPM bids are over 20% and compared to September there is a drop in revenue.

[Soulofmonk]

Massive drop in the last two days.

[ChokenBako]

25% more traffic on 24th, but -3% in Revenue. This is the lowest earning i ever had on 24th with Adsense.

[allhearts]

MMedi26,

First you said,
"C’mon guys let’s be optimistic lol."

and then you said right after,
"October-December, my CPM bids are over 20% and compared to September there is a drop in revenue."


Are you still optimistic?

[MMedi26]

@allhearts The second part was just me pointing out stats I never looked at. I’m still optimistic lol.

[gatormark]

Down 7% from December of 2022.

[MMedi26]

@AllHearts I’ve been using Adsense since 2021 and this is hands down the best year for me. What I’ve learned is that there will always be good and bad days. It’s up to us to continue working our hardest and not quitting because you just never know when a good day will pop up. That one good day will make you forget about all of the bad days and you’ll just live in the moment. Same with Facebook traffic. All the best to everyone. We got this. No one said life was going to be easy so we have to outsmart life and not let it outsmart us.

[allhearts]

I am down 46% this month from December of last year.

[Soulofmonk]

I am down 49% this month compared to last year Dec.
YoY: 16% down

[Sissi]

Down 55 % YoY
Only consolation 2022 was really good

[puente]

the heavy duty sucking in earnings started last week and i thought it can't possibly suck any worse. this week is proving me wrong, very wrong.

[MMedi26]

Today is my lowest start to a day in a while but I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt and blaming the Holidays.

[CommandDork]

Lower than normal 24th/25th but, at the rate things are going, I'll take it.

Today's start (26th) is slow-and-low, but it seems to be coming in in bunches with increased CPC and RPM values climbing some.

Hoping to see some year-end ad spend this week, companies having to purge what's left of their budget before 2024.

January WILL be low-and-slow, that is a guarantee for most.

[allhearts]

@CommandDork,

Fingers crossed, so far today not very good earnings.

[gatormark]

And so, the official Adsense dead-zone begins. See you the last week in January.

[magician]

58% down from Dec 2022. Hoping for a better Jan.

[gatormark]

I have been using Adsense since 2005. It has been a wild ride, but I am hanging in there. COVID and a bad economy threw a wrench into things late 2019 and it has been a roller coaster ever since.

[allhearts]

Is anyone else receiving Email Notifications from this topic every 10 minutes? I have received about 100 new reply post notifications to my email since last night from this topic alone.

[ember]

@gatormark, since 2003 here. It's been a wild ride indeed, but it still beats a 9-5 job any day :)

[MMedi26]

I actually started this because no job would hire me after I graduated college. I’m still saving to move out. I always wondered what it would’ve been like if I would’ve started before 2020.

[MMedi26]

@ember And you’re absolutely correct. I don’t think I would be making the money I’m making now with a 9-5.

[gatormark]

@ember

I retire in 4 years and am trying my best to avoid a 9-5 in the interim. I haven’t worked a full-time job since 2013 and I LOVE IT. FOUR MORE YEARS!

[Sissi]

I retire in 2 years and hope that this will remain as an acceptable source of pension

[MMedi26]

We just have to get through this after the holiday slump.
