I maintain a multi-topic site consisting of 300 pages covering everything from metal detecting to lucid dreaming. The site gets 4600 visitors per day.

My Adsense income per click-through from this site has decreased steadily from 26.3 cents per click-through in January, 2006 to 12.6 cents per click-through in May, 2007. At the same time the percentage of click-throughs to page-views has increased from 0.9 to 1.3 percent, somewhat offsetting the loss of revenue due to the reduction of earnings per click-through.

Tracking the pages being visited suggests that the overall make-up of the typical visitor to my site has not changed over this period so I assume the changes in income are strickly caused by changes within the Adsense system.

I earn a modest $210 average per month from the site.

One curiousity is that the number of page views credited to the site by Adsense averages 25-percent less than the number of pages viewed as reported by my webhost.

Ours changed too. It’s unfortunate since our CTR has gone up quite substantially with some new changes we’ve made. Now, we make about the same as always with a fourfold increase in clicks.

My blog is a personal finance one and I post the things I see that are relevant in my life, revenue has increased because I’ve been writing a lot about my search for a new home and I see a lot of mortgage loan ads appearing.

Lo and behold, my AdSense earnings for the first 10 days of May are the lowest I’ve seen for the first 10 days of any Month in the last six months. Hmmm…

Personally, I’ve always assumed that the bulk of advertisers would eventually wise up and realize that they’re not recognizing sufficient revenue from these clicks and cut back or shift their budgets. Some specific sub-markets could obviously have higher demand. Google’s plan to allow advertisers to target specific sites will also tend to hurt all of us little guys.

Nothing similar to report here–one of my sites has had an apparent increase in EPC the last couple of days, everything else is stable.

Mine have been averaging over $1.00 a day all month since I moved my ads to the upper left of my site except for yesterday so I don’t see any trends right now.

*knock on wood* while many people are reporting their adsense earnings going down, mine have actually gone up – way up – so I have no cause for complaints…

I honestly believe it depends on the site, the niche, and the content. There has been a lot of speculation regarding the “undercover changes” happening at Google, hopefully it all works itself out soon.

I agreee it has been going down I made about 75 cents yesterday but noticed a couple were 3 cents if that sounds right.

I can’t say I see any out of the normal, it bounces up and down a bit, but the average of the last couple of days are inside any ranges that I have seen before.

Oddly enough, for the last two weeks, my AdSense revenue has been rising for the first time since early January when it dropped inexplicably.

Expect to See More Mortgage Blogs

The price of mortgage-related terms in pay per click searches is rising, so expect to see more mortgage blogs seeking to capture AdSense revenue.

I think this has got something to do with the recent change in formats announced by AdSense. Although right now a very few advertisers must be in the beta stage, but probably the oldest and most highest spenders must have been chosen for that.
This creates a double effect, first the CPC from those beta testing biggies is at least reduced if not completely stopped.
Secondly, since this is an auction system, there must be a significant decline in the overall bids due to absence of big players.

Just my theory, what do you think?
