AdSense Earnings and Observations - June 2026

[not2easy]

I do realize this is the most extremely late thread update, but there have been no new posts in the May 2026 thread since May 20th so I'm opening this in case anyone is still using AdSense and would like a place to post about their AdSense Earnings and Observations.

I'm here. Today, Tuesday, June 16, is my best revenue over the last three months, by 8 am ET. I'm somewhat shocked. Impression and Page RPMs 6-8X normal. Looking into what may have caused this. Something I said (because I certainly didn't do anything) or is Google getting religion?

Anybody else around willing to post anything?

Hey @fearlessrick! I'm still here plugging away... this year has been down on last year by around 25% each month and each months total earnings have been worse than the one before.

This month has seen an uptick - still down YOY but up month to date compared to last month so hoping things will stay this way and the improvements continue.

It's sad to see how quiet things have become on here. Sign of the times? Or people finding new communities?

@Maleda, mostly because Google cut small publishers to the bone. They're not nice, but, that's business.

I switched to a different ad network a few months ago, but not very happy there.

Not sure if anyone will share, but what is the average RPM these days?

Thanks in advance.
