Starhugger Posts: 631 Joined: 4/12/2005 From: Canada Status: offline	Adsense way down - 8/6/2009 23:00:16 My Adsense revenue has gone WAY down in recent months and it only seems to get worse by the month. I'm earning half of what I was getting last year IF I'm lucky. My daily totals for last month were abysmal. Is anyone else finding this? I'm baffled. Even my highest revenue pages are way down, and sometimes seem dead for days on end although the traffic and ad impressions remain consistent. I'm puzzled why it's so out of whack. I figured it was just the economic times at first, but now I'm wondering if this is (more) unique to my particular niche or if revenue is down all over. Starhugger

What are you selling? _____________________________ Don from TreeTops Ranch, Oregon "I've got a taste for quality and luxury" (in reply to Starhugger)

treetopsranch Posts: 1539 From: Cottage Grove, OR, USA Status: online	RE: Adsense way down - 8/7/2009 11:57:30 Should have guessed that from your name Starhugger. I would hazard a guess that people are now worried more about their jobs then the stars. _____________________________ Don from TreeTops Ranch, Oregon "I've got a taste for quality and luxury" (in reply to Starhugger)


Starhugger Posts: 631 Joined: 4/12/2005 From: Canada Status: offline	RE: Adsense way down - 8/7/2009 12:10:27 I think that's true. I just didn't think the advertising would go down SO much though. Everyone reads their horoscope. It's a low-paying Adsense category at the best of times, though, and maybe commercial sites are finding that even fewer people than usual are prepared to pay for astrology. I know I've had to come up with some creative ways to tailor my services to people in a way they can afford. I'd still like to hear if others are finding if Adsense revenues are up, down or the same for them. What's been your experience, Don? SH (in reply to treetopsranch)

treetopsranch Posts: 1539 From: Cottage Grove, OR, USA Status: online	RE: Adsense way down - 8/7/2009 15:11:53 None of my sites use adsense. They are all self sustaining. _____________________________ Don from TreeTops Ranch, Oregon "I've got a taste for quality and luxury" (in reply to Starhugger)

I've heard from a colleague in the same category that theirs is way down too. I guess we'll just have to tread water until this all blows over. SH (in reply to treetopsranch)


Mojo Posts: 2472 From: Chicago Status: offline	RE: Adsense way down - 8/11/2009 11:49:21 Companies are spending less on advertisement which is having an impact on Adsense income. Google can't earn less money with their responsibility to shareholders so.... they turn a dial and we make pennies on the dollar. My Adsense income is also down across dozens of sites. _____________________________ Split Testing GPS Vehicle Tracking Chicago Marketing (in reply to Starhugger)
