I don't know how many people on this forum use adsense, but...


My adsense cpc is down (between 20 and 60%). My niche isn't seasonal or fad type stuff. I also checked the google keyword tool, and it reflected the changes.

It makes me think that advertisers are worried about the economy. I'm not too worried because I can replace them with affiliate ads.

I'm just wondering if it is affecting other niches also.

Thanks

I'm just wondering if it is affecting other niches also.

Probably be a little difficult to answer that without a point of reference.

Well I don't have a clear point of reference, but I think it has to do with economic factors. Just wondering if anybody else saw the same...

I have got the same type of problems with my blogs. My income from adsense are suddenly down to less than 30$ a month from 100$ PM.

May be Panda has affected you. As Google had changed there search engine algorithm..

Afraid you aren't being very clear. His point is, click through rates have nothing to do with search results.

Changes to the search index might affect traffic but, there's no way for it to affect the percentage of people who click ads.

Willcode, thanks for clarifying it..

So that means its related to amount of traffic we are getting for out blogs or websites??

NO!! the payment you get paid for a click is related to what the advertiser PAID for the click.

My trouble is some of my niche sites got huge decrease on CPM, my earning decrease more than 60%.

your cpc can go up and down as it like, i don't think there is a proven way of increasing cpc forever for now

It always goes up and down so don't think about it so much, just try to make your site better.
