Adsense Income Suddenly Drops

Andrew-Scott-Music · #1 (**permalink**) 07-13-2009, 09:42 PM

I discovered Adsense in March 09, and decided it had great potential.
After i added it to a few pages on my site it was fun to lg on to Google 10 times a day and watch the Earnings total creep up.
In March I made $3.50
April 4.50
May 5.60
Jun 9.73
Then on 26 June something happened.
The clicks stopped.
Same amount of average traffic - 100 - 200 visitors per day, but no clicks.
People on other forums have noticed the same thing occasionally.
One forum participant put it this way
"If people aren't clicking it means they don't like your ads."
It's a fair enough comment, but doesn't explain how come the ads suddenly changed from being likable to unlikable.
Is Google doing something?
Does anyone have a similar story and/or solution?

There many things to figure out

1) Is there any invalid clicks

2) Is there any public service ads

I will suggest you to integrate adsense with analytics. It will help you to Q.A a little bit better

I suggest contacting Google if it you think it is a technical situation. But if turns out not to be, then you will need to change your ad and create several ad variations " 2 at a time".

But creating ad variations, you get to battle your ad for the best amount of clicks and then continue to battle the as until you get more an more click!

So make sure, your ads are superior! Here a site that can benefit you! It analyzes, Headlines for emotional appeal!

First of all summer months are know for less clickthrough, it's just a seasonal change that also depends on your niche. For instance if your ads are about snowboarding, you won't have the same clickthrough.

Also, sometimes is happens that people just not click. Remember that people do not make judgements about ads. It's not about liking them. Nobody likes ads. It's all about you appearing them as content so that others thing they are interesting enough to click on.

Visitors might have gotten used to your ads, and just ignored them, try changing them up a bit.

Like the others said I'd check if your clicks are invalid or also who are you targeting? Because if people know they're ads they might note click them
