Google is stealing our earnings for the last 45 days!

Every day for the last 3 weeks i have been tracking my adsense earnings during the day. Why you may ask, It's because i have noticed that my earnings are much lower comparing the same months previous year, and my earnings are pretty stable during the year, i am not affected by holidays, new year, lower amount of advertisers during first months of the year etc..

What i have noticed is that my earnings fluctuate a lot during the day.

When i first check my earnings around 13pm its about 5$, at 15pm it 15$, then suddenly in 17pm it's 3$, then at 18pm 45$, then at 20pm it's 13$, in 21pm it's 7$ in 23pm it's 10$, and when i check my earnings tomorrow again for the previous day i see i have only 14$ for that day.

They take more than 30$ from me every day for the last 45 days.
This is not normal, my earnings are around 40$ per day.

I have been making money with adsense for more than 2 years now with the same websites and this has never happened to me

These can't possibly be invalid clicks! I mean 30$ every day of invalid clicks, i would ban me if i were google.

Has anyone else had the same issue?

    They are adjusting your account for invalid clicks.

    Everyone needs to stop with the "Google is stealing from me" mindset. Google actually loses money when they adjust for invalid clicks since they refund 100% of it to the adwords advertiser. However, it keeps their ad model trustworthy and in the long run keeps advertisers with them.

    Looks like a warning you have low quality traffic.

    Can you narrow it down to a single site?

      It is all search engine traffic. Most of the sites are eighter 1st or 3rd on google.

      I have 30 sites, they are all affected.

      What is strange are these fluctations, one day i had more than 200$, day after that barely 8$. Day after that CPC 40%, next day 0.01%.

      I have these site for more then 2 years and this has never happened.

      Well, i guess all i can do is wait.

    Have you tried emailing the customer support for Google Adsense and talking to them about what's going on? If there is an issue, you'll want to confront it head on, rather than asking others who are not directly involved int he situation. If anything, the Adsense team would have the answers you are looking for.

    You are missing a huge thing here. The numbers you see are your "estimated" earnings, not exact!

    These numbers go up and down based on variety of factors. At the end of the month when they calculate everything is when you see the exact earning.

    That said, in most cases, estimated earning numbers are pretty close to actual earnings, but there are cases (based on different factors) that the estimated number differ hugely from the actual check you receive.

    So, no I don't think Google is stealing our few pretty pennies!

      Find the source of the bad traffic if that is causing it, block IP's if it seems to come from the same users.

      If it's true that you get tons of invalid clicks Adsense could ban you some day so don't ignore it.
