I have read a lot of talk recently relating how bad the new adsense changes have been.
I have heard webmasters remark on (to name a few) some of the following things...
1- Lower clickthrough rates
2- An increase in public service advertising (for which you do not get paid if clicks are made)
3- Lower overall income
4- Less money on each click that is made
I wonder Google has decided to do this to it's users?
As far as I know, advertisers have not got a reduction on their costs per click rates.
This begs the question, what is happening to all that money?
No prize for guessing who's pocket it goes into! :oops:
Why is that the most loved and most used SE in the world, suddenly feels that they need to increase their income?
When Google announces it's IPO in the next few days, we'll really be able to see how well they are doing.
I'm looking forward to it.

That is called banner blindness. Adsense is supposed to be less sucpetable to that as it uses text ads instead of big graphics

It is a WWW wide thing.
It's just not as good
My experience with Adsense:
1. Recently the advert dollars have been erratic - one day $0.1 the next $19.00
2. However, overall, my total has increased
With regards to their public service ads, you have to make sure that your page content has some theme that is consistent. I used to get lots of public service ads but after streamlining my content, I hardly get any now.

ok its not much but if it was a proper site and i was relying on them it would be a hell of a drop
Maybe you should stablize your site before using current earnings as a benchmark. I notice that if you change your site contents a lot, the adverts get confused. What I suggest is that you change your contents little by little until you get the adverts that are truly appropriate - then try to minimize changes.

but this could just be traffic increase, lol

but yea i do understand i cant go off anything ive earnt yet considering the site is just for test purposes, my proper design should be going up in the next week so fingers crossed the money will come rolling in lol
But I still think it might be true that google is taking a bigger share of the revenue now. But who knows! :P
1. How many hits does your site get
2. Whats ur monthly income
3. (noobie question) At what amount does adsense send payment
thanks i just want to use this as a mark to see how many hits i need and such thanks
2. Its against googles terms of service to say how much your earning
3. $100 - at the end of the month

my site has been up 2 months im getting about 200impressions (about 30-50 unique people) a day
your not allowed to say your income as its against the TOS
The answer to #3 is $100.
I believe at the end of the first month that you have $100 they send you a check... Am I right guys?
The Royal Ram
I am assuming that is agenst the TOS but i can see how it could not be aswell as it could be border line?? comments?
and people also need to know what the site is earning if they are thinking of buying it although this should probably be kept to emails
I have never been too needy but I lost my job due to the company shutting down our location. I just had a child and live in a pretty depressed area at the moment. I need some freelance work fairly bad.
