Did Everyone Log Off? Or Am I Missing Something....

In November 2013 I ran a LI PPV campaign in a niche which attracts about 750,000 google searches per month in USA, UK and Australia. I got well over 1000 impressions per day.

Now Im running the exact same campaign and struggling to get 100 impressions per day.

Even though Im ranked #1 for all of my keywords.

The same is happening for 7 search. Did the same campaign last year, same keywords. Im now ranking #1 now for all bids, and only getting 25 clicks per day, whereas when I ran the same campaign last year in Nov 2013 I got around 100 clicks per day.

Im #1 for all bids on both networks....why am I not receiving the same traffic I got last year? It just doesnt make sense.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    I am going through the same thing
    Believe me, I am not a happy camper right now.... although July and August ARE traditionally SLOW fpr my niche ( Sports Betting and Online Casinos )
    Thing is... THIS July and August have been WAY slower than in past years.
    Is everyone on vacation? is everyone unemployed / having money problems?
    Maybe for July and Aug I should promote things like vacations, sunscreen, bikinis?
    I'm panicking, but I guess I should keep strong until September

      Thanks for your feedback, Im sorry to hear you are experiencing the same issue. Maybe everyone is on vacation. Lets see what September brings.

    Try different keywords.
    Things change over a year.. just try to update the campaign with different keywords and see how it goes

      Cheers Chris, the only thing is, I'm using practically every keyword there is to use in my niche, plus the super high traffic url's, including top CB sites in my niche.

      Ive also noticed in my niche that my competitors on CB have seen a big decrease in gravity in the last 6-8 weeks. Which means a lot less affiliates making sales with those offers.

      Maybe its just a time of year that's slow for traffic?
