Anyone See A Drop In Income This Month

its been on a steady decline for many people since last month, the economy is starting to effect PPC advertisers i would guess

Yes I would agree with that. There's been lots in the press about declining online ad spend, I guess this will filter through to any Adsense earnings as time goes on.

yes, it seems the economic turmoil has hit the internet as well. no one is doing anything these days!

Yea. I have an Adwords campaign running that was doing well and it's drying up. The ratio between clicks and impressions is about the same but in the end there are less impressions and less clicks and the clicks just aren't converting. For me this seems to have started two weeks ago. Sucks big time.

keep doing what works and when the economy turns around your earrings should take off again.

I got 1.17$ with 10 click. worth is so low

soome niches are still paying high, i had a site in the adjustable mortgage niche that was still paying over $2 on average.

Since i got banned i have not re monetized, anyone want to buy it?

I've went from $110/day to about $85/day....without any explanation!!!...

I may be new to this forum, but i'm not new to internet marketing!!, Honestly...Adsense is reliable, but you have to work your butt off for it!

O.K. I'll be a contrarian. I am only in Adwords, but I am feeling the Christmas cheer already! It feels like a tsunami building up. Things are building up very nicely.

Fortunately for me, one of my best AdSense sites is about an MLM product...it is doing very well; I think because people are trying to supplement their income more.

Are you still getting the same amount of traffic though? With certain niches, traffic will slow down at certain times. (And don't forget it's Thanksgiving in the U.S.)

I'm in the weight loss niche and revenue starts heading downhill from October to December. But my eCPM is about 35% higher than it was this time last year. So, no, I'm not seeing a drop in income in terms of less advertisers.

I am in the parenting niche and am seeing some drop in adsense earnings as well as affiliate sales. It was doing great last month (Oct) but this month somehow slowing down. The funny truth is that traffic seems to be going up. But unfortunately, did not get translated to more sales.

I'm down substantially this week. For the last 8-10 days, my CTR is about 1/2 what it has averaged for the last 6 months. My theories:
1 - The restricted ad budgets are causing fewer companies to fund Adwords campaigns.This means fewer pros are writing ads, leading to less compelling headlines and a poorer CTR.
Much of my Adsense income comes from the financial sector. This is probably harder hit than other sectors due to the recent Economic problems.

2 - It seems my traffic has shifted and some of the pages that were monitizing well, with high CTRs, are receiving less traffic. Other pages seems to be ranking well and receiving better traffic, because my average impression count is only down about 8 - 10% on some days, others it's about the same. That means the lower CTR pages are simply getting more visitors now than the higher CTR pages.

I'll delve into this more deeply soon. I just wanted to eat turkey, pumpkin pie, and cheesecake tomorrow and watch some football, but maybe I'll have to actually work.

I am not seeing any significant differences, but it could be that my Adsense earnings have been well and truely hammered a long time ago. From what I gather in e-commerce forums, the merchants were saying that they kept that PPC spending up in Sep and Oct. However, their conversion rate was well down and therefore they intend to cut their budget. However since this is getting near the Christmas shopping season, many are reluctant to cut their budget too much. Therefore the real test will probably come early next year as far as physical products are concerned.

What are the basic strategies to earn in Adsense?

Mine has steadily dropped since april when it was ovver $100 to around $40 now
