Show of hands, EPC up or down, Jan - present.

No discussion, just up or down

[fearlessrick]

Are your earnings per click with Adsense going up or down, from January 1 to the present? We all have the tools to track this trend, so just answer with a simple "up" or "down".

Of course, I expect embellishments from this creative group.

Mine is:

Down

[hunderdown]

Down.

But note that January was my best month in the program, by a good margin.

[suzyvirtual]

down

[europeforvisitors]

Unchanged.

[ken_b]

I have...

channels that are up
channels that are down
channels that are unchanged

[darkmage]

Why per click? My bank doesn't take cheques marked CPC. Why not something more meaningful like true eCPM (ie CPM based on page impressions, not ad block impression). Obsessing over CPC in this way is not the best way to optimise your income. Hell, if my CPC is down, but my income is up, why would I complain?

Also, I bet you get far more 'downs' than 'ups'. Not because it is down, but because downers post in these threads and uppers rarely chime in.

You can call me "Even Steven"

[caine]

a mixture - though down on aggregate.

[Sobriquet]

up after jan 1
up after feb 1
down after 1st week of march

i guess we must call a survey / poll to check if 'total earnings' are UP or down.

[creepychris]

up. down. up. down. up. down.

Overall: even.

[Hinso]

No change

[birdstuff]

Up on my average sites.
Down on my two best sites. Go figure.

[teasers]

down 250% - 300%
(if it was 2.5 or 3, it's 1 now)

[Zygoot]

Down, some channels are up.
But overall earnings have grown.

[peewhy]

down

[OptiRex]

Of course, I expect embellishments from this creative group.

Otherwise no point in posting!

Down...

All time, 12+ months down 25.19%

Comparing January month 2005 to March so far, down 20.64%

Less of a drop from February month to date, down 8.69%

[jahfingers]

every month since august 2004 has declined, earnings around the same

[Jon_King]

down

[BwanaZulia]

I did a nice little chart in Excel and it showed that while the daily CPC is all over the place with huge spikes on any day, it has been pretty consistant since the start of 2005.

A: Same

BZ

[triumph]

Down big time...

[diddlydazz]

across the board DOWN

So high street stores are showing losses but boasting of increased online sales ...the money's going somewhere?

[willmullis]

Down from January, but up from last month. It's only by a few pennies per click but my CTR is going up. March will be my best month(unless something crazy happens).

[jchampliaud]
