Has anyone else noticed less ads on their site? Ad columns that were filled now only contain 1 or 2. I know they are testing that new site targeting thing, but I can't imagine that is being tested on mine.

This is all worrying me a bit.

Mine was displaying free ads.

yeah I noticed the free ads on my theatre page, which when there were regular ads on there, those used to give pretty ok money.

and honestly, I much rather have those, then to have a skyscraper size with only 2 ads in it, and the rest is a blank box.

are we talking about adsense?

**Treasure** · 05-11-2005, 04:39 PM

yeah, sorry. I should have been more specific

i have noticed that sometimes my ads just appear at 1 single banner graphic. This only happens though when i drop the code into a DIV layer.

When i first started using adsense sometimes it wouldnt list a full set of adverts, i got round this by adding more content to the page and the problem went away and the CPC went up.

On one of my game sites I have recently noticed what seems like a very high increase of ads, and on top of that a very nice $6 eCPM for today and over $4 yesterday!

howardoark, i am glad you replied. you see what i am looking at to then. I knew it wasnt how my settings where, they havent changed.

I have had a huge decrease in clicks now too.

one day on clicks i got about 13.00 total, and since then its been less then a dollar a day.
