Lower Adsense Earnings?

[Gernwax]

Anyone else experienced a noticable drop in adsense earnings in the last week?

My clicked have halfed and the value off them has fell a lot too.

The MSN update doesn't mean everyone will be done...but for those who have dropped, many other sites went up.

I would continue to work at positioning as there will always be updates. MSN will work out the kinks in the upcoming weeks, so you may regain positioning. I would hop over to the MSN section to read up on what you can do to help push yourself back up.

i've got one site that was making $5-$10 per day - tanked around last week of august - lucky if it gets $0.50 per day
it's not a very important site - just stuck adsense on it 9 months ago and done nothing with it since, so not too bothered
adsense report that from about the last week of august:
- impressions dropped from ~600 per day to ~100 per day
- clicks per day dropped from ~30 to ~8

looking at the site, the box that always had 4 adsense ads often now has just one. not seeing any PSAs.

oh well, was good while it lasted ..........

It always amazes me when SE's make changes and the result is wholesale changes in SERPs. I'm seeing completely new sites in the entire first 10 positions for many competitive keyword searches at MSN since their current update. Either their previous incarnation truly sucked, or this one does. They can't argue that both are good indications of relevancy when the entire top 10 suddenly disappears for the same search terms.

I'm actually up 20% this month. Traffic and click throughs are the same, but earnings are on the rise. Thank goodness.
