CTR - EPC Going Down?

[jcmiras]

When I joined Adsense last January 2005, the lowest CPC I can receive was $0.03. Six months later, i frequently got $0.01, and sometimes $0.00 CPC. What would I expect in the near future?

My CPC average has remained very stable over the past year and a half, and in fact has gone up. I'm not going to post specifics to avoid violating the TOS, but it's more than ten times the CPC you quote.

Different sites perform differently--your experience is not mine. Rather than saying AdSense is getting worse, you might be smarter to say that it's not performing as well on your site as it used to, and then think about what changes you could make to improve performance.

Based on your trends, I suspect you'll be paying AdSense soon when with $-0.01

Well, who knows. Google might charge us for using using their resources. lol, just a speculation. Not a big deal.

Going back to the topic, Me too, actually notice the increase of CPC in some of my websites but what caught my attention is the $0.01 CPC and sometimes $0.00 CPC in some of my websites which was starting to happen since July 'till now. I just can't imagine if one niche happen to have a CPC of $0.01, it will need around 10,000 clicks to earn $100 per day.
