Hello all,

One of my websites has been quite a large drop in revenue this month.. across all my advertive mediums.. I use google adsense, and burst.

Across the board I have seen a drop so far of about 30-40% which is very bad. Traffic has not drecreased, ad placement have not changed.

Seems strange that the drop is on two seperate ad companies. Burst pay by referral so its not even clicking thats an issue.

Are the credit issues the US/UK are having effecting ad revenue do you think?

Cheers all,

Where abouts do you live?

I am sure in some parts of the world like the UK referrals are not allowed any more?

It could be your referral is now offering less money per click/sign up!

I'm in the U.K but both of my advertisers are multinational - google and burst, and there is two.. seems strange they'd both drop their payout at exactly same time, but roughly same armount?

Besides, burst is paid per impression, google clicks ... which is why its strange ...

this is quite interesting actually ...

Googles 42% revenues rise lays fears of advertising slowdown
