My earnings are way up this month. I guess it all kinda balances out. Some months your up, some months your down. No sense complaining about it.

After a day with my layout placed back the way it was, I can tell you my earnings are back up and even higher for the day than last month. I’m getting a MUCH higher CPC and my CTR is back to about normal. Almost made up in one day what I lost in the whole last week.

Poor July Adsense Earnings

Problogger Darren noticed from webmasterworld posts that many webmasters and bloggers have experienced some poor earnings on Adsense.

I experienced the same thing across my sites and blogs – The impressions and click rates stay on the same level, bu…

Strangely enough, the past few days have been quite good for the network I run and my other ’smaller’ blogs. But, my highest ‘trafficked’ site – http://weblogs.about.com/ – is suffering a bit from the summer slumps.

Figures I’d try a change of ad layout right on the first of July. Clickthrough rates with my change are down, and earnings per click seem to be down as well, but traffic levels are about the same. As of a couple of hours ago I’ve put the ad layout back to the way it was previously. We’ll see what happens.

For a new blogger such as myself this is good news. After months of working on my website I am just now starting to see traffic and adsense income, so mabey after the summer it will skyrocket! Then maybe I will be able to quit my day job, I can’t wait.

It makes me realize the value of diversifying revenue streams. 100% [or close to] dependence on AdSense is a high risk business model, since any number factors [like the ones you have mentioned] could disturb its revenues. Ideally about 50% would be much more stable in the long run.

I’ve experienced a decrease in earnings per click but, as Darren writes, traffic levels have been fairly stable. My core audience is devoted to the site (I run a mountain bike review blog / site) as this is a good time of year for sneak peeks at new products.

I’m betting the decreased earnings-per-click are because of the fact it’s mid-season in the biking world and many retailers are either down on stock or out of stock entirely… No point in advertising if they can’t fill the orders… It’s something to keep in mind if you’re considering coverage of a seasonal activity…

Keep in mind that seasonal swings flatten out over the long haul. My advice is to not get discouraged and keep business going as usual.

“Until we work out a way to get them surfing the web more whilst sunbathing, swimming, playing golf etc – many sites will have to put up with a little less traffic”

Funny you should mention this, Darren. Just a couple of days ago the beautiful state of California, where I am lucky enough to reside, announced plans to offer WiFi in 59 of it’s State Parks… because of the low cost of camping, and the incredible scenery, these are where the vast maority of Californians are vacationing during the summer months. Perhaps that summer slump will be changing in the not so distant future ; )

If this becomes a trend across our nation, I think I’ll try to be the first person to blog from the edge of the Grand Canyon ; )
