[rawkinrich]

I have noticed a drop in adsense revenues. Anyone else notice this? usd1.90 for 27 clicks?

[Raizan]

yes, i've noticed it too as well, though it rised a few weeks ago, now its back down.

Ack! $1.90 for 27? That's pretty horrible. I've seen some bad stuff, but not quite to that extent. What type of ads are they?

Hard to say I guess.. I have no Adsense experience in that area.... so I dunno what's the norm. Mine is mostly Hosting ads....

What are generally the best keywords for generating high ppc?

Or 'subjects' shoud I say?

[Mike Bell]

I believe web Hosting is one of the most expensive areas. Some of my ads are image hosting though. I seem to be behind everyone I see on these forums as far as AdSense revenue tho..... I have yet to master how to get the big bucks from it...

Around 5 dollars for 38 clicks. :disappoin :disappoin

Compared to same 38 clicks 2 weeks ago....close to 20 dollars! :veryangry :veryangry

Adsense revenue changes often, I figure in another couple weeks it will be back up...

I dont think it will stay like this for a long time

I've noticed huge drops with DomainSponsor over the past couple of weeks. I consitantly make about half of what I used to, probably thanks to google.

Its back down for me :(.

If only my sites were webhosting. It takes me 600 clicks to get $50.

AdSense revenues seem to be down for many people recently.

Most likely culprit is new policy that means only one ad per destination URL will be shown on a page. Biggest impact of that is when affiliates are competing against each other to send clicks direct to the merchant.

Now, only one of them (or the merchant) will be shown, which I guess lowers both the average click value (less competition) and the CTR (fewer returning for comparison clicks).

Interesting.. Never thought of this :/

I've noticed an increase in revenue this month for one of my sites.

[GT Web]

over the last few days my revenue per click has nearly tripled compared to January

mine is stable for a few months, nobody would beleive, but I check my account without using the internet. I just wait for my adsense check every month, and then I know how much good it is going on. My numbers have been giving a steady rise, month by month !! Which is good.

The quick answer is no - if you're looking for the best general-purpose, contextual ad service.

Many active affiliates are even replacing their own carefully chosen and placed content-side ads with AdSense because they do such a good job of getting clicks ... and you don't have to worry about the subsequent merchant conversion rate.

There are a growing number of other contextual ad systems appearing but from my investigations they typically a) don't have many advertisers b) have lower ad prices c) require each site to be registered separately and d) are often not truly contextual, but require some manual targeting.
