1.7 million page views in a month used to get me a lot more money back in the day. I’ll finish February down 8% from 2023.

[allhearts]

It's happening all around @MMedi26.

I placed my adsense ads on a private adserver yesterday... On the adserver the pageviews doubled what adsense was showing on the dashboard.

[MMedi26]

@allhearts Wow. It’s actually ridiculous what’s happening to a lot of us ever since the switch to CPM.

[Sissi]

@Allhearts

may be G counts only the natural views.

[allhearts]

@Sissi maybe,

it just sucks that they keep squeezing the life out of all publishers to earn record breaking profits every quarter.

It had to make sense financially for Google to switch to CPM from CPC, this is not a coincidence, G only looks out for G.

[Sissi]

True
Try to do best of it and try to change your website and test all options until it works
nothing is for free in life

[MMedi26]

@AllHearts You’re 100% correct, there’s many with you sis.

[Sissi]

At the end of March
-10 % vs March 23 but + 80 % vs January 23 with a stable and consolidated revenues less volatile than Feb.
Still spending time with reviewing all websites adapting them to the successful ones = qualitative content instead of huge traffic that is good for statistics and ego but less revelant to my wallet

[dolcevita]

Just wonder. Have you tried Offerwall? From the moment when I implemented it, everything has increased... CPC and RPM and revenue...Everything.....

[Sissi]

Yes a good tool depending on the setup

[allhearts]

Do you have a recommendation for a good setup @Sissi?

I would like to try it.

[daniel1213]

I have access to 3 different Adsense accounts and they don't have Offer Wall in the specific section. Do you have any idea why?

[dolcevita]

Since it is experimental, I think that the offer for everyone was for a very short period. I used it right away, the first day, and I didn't regret it. Thanks to Offerwall, my revenues are at the level of last year, while this was not the case in the first 2 months of 2024, before Offerwall.

btw
I have Offerwall set for the entire website and by default at 4 pv

[Sissi]

@allhearts
try
Apply after one view not 4
Apply for all pages

It works for me may be for you it s different test it

[allhearts]

Thank you.

[Sissi]

Ad blocking recovery can also help a little

[allhearts]

I've had that one on since it came out with offerwall, the only reason I'm stayed away from offerwall is I have a steady and loyal following of daily visitors, and I don't want to risk loosing those.

[gatormark]

This is crazy. Adsense pageviews is dropping every day, but it doesn't look like my page rankings have changed much. I've never seen anything like this in my almost 20 years of Adsense. In a little over a month, my pageviews have dropped almost 50%...and falling each day. I see ads on my pages, but is Adsense just not showing ads to other people? Weird...

[allhearts]

@gatormark,

welcome to the club, same thing happening here.

@gatormark @allhearts What are your RPM rates? Has they changed?

Since the last 48 hours or so my pageviews have increased considerably which was expected. But the RPM fell to almost half of previous amount.

[Sissi]

Looks like Adsense is filtering the traffic giving the priviledge to natural users

[daniel1213]

Hello, I have 100% organic and natural traffic.. and it has been dropping since February 23rd. I'm trying an experiment. All the 19 sites we have in Adsense were left with only one ad, we disabled the automatic ads and positioned the ad before content. I urge you to do this experiment for at least 10-14 days to compare the effects.

[Sissi]

I can imagine if you attract in Facebook 1 million visitors for gaming and try to send then to an adsense account that is about audio equipment this will not work
Same happened to me with very popular expired domains

[daniel1213]

What does it have to do with it? I have optimized the sites for keywords, and it is 100% organic. Subsequently, Adsense displays thematic / targeted ads. If Adsense will show me ads with sports bets on a page that refers to video games, then that's his problem. But it can't invalidate my display just because Adsense didn't display the ad correctly.

[Sissi]

@daniel1212
Read again my message
I m talling about the incoming traffic from social network not the keywords you use for your adense page.
I tend to filter the ads and reject the crap of downloading ads

[daniel1213]

agree with regard to the traffic from social networks. Have a wonderful day Sissi!

[Sissi]

Thanks Daniel !

[loboblahz]

For my part, I continue on a positive progression on AdSense revenues, +31% compared to the 28 days of March 2023. I maintain my stance that now the content + features that increase the duration of visitors on each page have a huge effect on the RPM. I have -11.9% fewer page views compared to the same period in March 2023.

But I repeat, I remain cautious. This has been working since February 14, 2023, but let's see what happens until the end of April. And then for the rest of the year.

@allhearts

I don’t want to be a part of that club. LOL

[Sissi]

Let s be the club of the half full glass and not the club of half empty glass
All a question of perception

[allhearts]

In my case @Sissi, visitors are coming to my recipes site from a recipes group on Facebook, Pinterest etc…
