My Adsense and Amazon is Gone

I have created about 15 websites using Wordpress over the past few years. I created them to create income from mainly adsense and Amazon. I have also added a bit of affiliate promos that has given me nothing.
They have never really produced much but every few months Google would send me a check and Amazon would add a few dollars to my Paypal account.
My problem is that although each site gets about 6-800 visitors each month, my Adsense and Amazon income is zero dollars over the last six weeks.
What do think the reason is?
I know a lot of you would tell me not to bother but I have been retired for nine years now and do this for a hobby.

    Try changing your ad. placement around, and getting more vpm will increase the chance of more ad clicks. What niche are you mainly in?

      Do not have a main niche. I cover the spectrum from retirement to baby shower and bed bugs to organic food.

    Hey man, join the club, been there done that worn that t-shirt. The problem is obvious, you're treating it like a hobby, and that is the result that you get back, hobby results.

    If you're serious about making some decent cash online, then you gotta step up and play big. Jump in head first! Don't just stick your toe in the water to see if it's cold, take a running start and jump in. Otherwise, you'll keep getting same results you've been getting.

    Your problem is you have let so much time expire since things went to zero that it is hard to say exactly what the issue is.. however just judging by what you have said I have a guess.

    Sounds like one of the google updates got you and probably killed your traffic.

    Were they EMDs? If yes, then it's the latest Google update. Screwed me over as well.

    Most probably you chose wrong niche. The best thing in this scenario you can do is to scale up means target a bigger niche in which you are. This will help you a lot in getting your ranking up and also will utilize the authority you built in last years in that niche.

    I mean if you are targeting a single product of some niche expand your site as a review site for other products also in the same niche. Regarding adsense just target similar topics and keep on adding new and useful content and see the change in your income stream.

      Do I dare sound like a broken record? Creating 15 sites,
      with WP, to make money from adsense and amazon, is
      a recipe for failure.

      I also need to be the first one....how does amazon add
      money to your paypal account?

        Amazon transfers money directly to my bank account. not my Paypal account.

    Both of the ad networks work based on the volume and quality of traffic.
    Your sites have to receive more organic traffic as both of the companies don't like paid traffic.

    Have you looked at your recent visitor stats? What service are you using to check your visitor stats?

    What are your main traffic sources?

    Was the drop in income sudden over 1 day or did it gradually decrease over a period of days? Look at your earnings reports in Adsense and Amazon.

    Are your sites built using emd's? There was a Google emd update last month which devalued the ranking of sites using emd's.

    check your stats again and check your links - there must be a problem with the two.
    May be your sites are hacked.

    If you are still receiving visitors, then you should be making money, it can't be zero as you are saying.
