AdSense CTR went down?!

Sayn · 06-30-2011, 04:25 PM

Hello Warriors,

I have a few websites which was doing well with AdSense.

My average daily earnings were $15-$40. I had an average 14% CTR for long time.

A few days ago, my CTR started to drop, and its 3% now. What do you think what should I do?

I use clickbump theme, but I don't think people aren't click on my ads, I think there is something problem with my AdSense account.

I found a few threads in other forums where people had the same problem and their CTR are dropped suddenly, but I didn't find answer.

Please help!

Thanks,
Sayn

Many things could of happened, I would wait a couple weeks before I worried but my first thought is one of the appealing advertisers could have dropped their campaign and maybe the other ads are not as related.

Maybe, but its happened with all of my sites. I don't think that all of "my advertisers" dropped their campaigns. I have no idea what happened with my sites.

If it's any help, my CTR has been under average by a couple of points today; though yesterday finished off quite nicely, even though until late in the day it looked pretty poor. It's summertime, and here, Canada Day is coming up, and then Independence Day in the US...it should pick up after.

Cheers

wait it out a little longer before you start panicking...after about a week or so, if it continues, contact Google Support

have your pages dropped in rankings?

Andrew S · 06-30-2011, 11:43 PM

are your page impressions the same?

Just wait for couple of days and watch what happen. I think it is not a great problem. It will be OK.

My Page Views are the same, not dropped in rankings.

I'm always amazed to read others that claim a 14-15% CTR. I've experimented with about 10 different formats and tried 20 different ad placements/ad types and outside of the occasional outlier days, I never stray from 2-3% CTR for the month. Damn... if I was getting 14% CTR, I'd be making over 15 grand a month with AdSense.

Sh*t! Today my CTR is 30% but my CPC went down to €0,11 from €0,77... I can't believe... Oo

30% CTR? That's a lot man!
