My CTR is down but my earnings per click is up a tad. I am not sure if this is Google playing with the percentage they payout or what. Advertisers haven’t adjusted their rates yet as I believe they will with better quality clicks.

This is another move by Google against publishers that signifies a “shark jumping trend” we should expect to see more of over the next year. Whereas Google before was an innovation company i.e products and programming to support products, they are now retreating into a “preserve and enhance revenue” mode. Google is penalizing adopters of the technology for a number of reasons; advertiser maturity, better revenue through lower payouts, etc.
Google fails to see the value of billions of long tail channels in favor of the short term big pay out.

It seems that page CTR has dramatically dropped for many blogs which directly affected daily income.A couple of top-earning blogger have mentioned this to me last month but I brushed it aside thinking that it could be some pre holiday advertising jitter of some sort. Usually, the month of October and November are the lowest months of the year but it also depends on the niche of the blog.

You will have 3-4 ads on your page MAX. (NOT ad blocks. ADS). The fewer Adsense ads show on a page, the higher the average earnings per click for you. If you place more ads on your page, they will show ads that rank lower on Adwords (and are cheaper). You don’t want people to click on ads that pay you $0.05. You want them to click on ads that pay you $0.50!

I guess it depends on your first impression of your page or how you put your ads. I decorate my ads with background images and my CTR increases to 10%. May be you would to like to know how place the ads with background images. Here’s the link http://djyano.blogspot.com/2008/04/increase-adsense-ctr-with-background.html

It’s interesting how people are reporting numbers from 20%+ down to like 1%. I guess it depends on what site you have, I’m just trying to figure out what kind of adsense numbers i should shoot for on my site.

Yes CTR has gone down but not too much. I provide Free mobile downloads and produce over 100K adsense impressions daily on different sites.

I noticed almost 8 to 10% decrease in clicks I was getting. I think it is good decision to keep the advertisers comming back with confidence.

Yes thats right but maybe in this case less clicks better per click money?

For those of you who are seeing a decrease, do you think it is because you were getting a lot of accidental clicks? Those accidental clicks decrease the value of all clicks. If more clicks were intentional and converted for advertisers, the value of each click would go up. As someone who only wants intentional click-throughs, I have not seen a decrease in CTR or revenue and don’t think I will. I am happy with the change.

I advertise ON Google AdSense as well, and I never want anyone to click on my ads and force me to pay unless they are actually interested in the content. Advertisers will love this change. It will increase their confidence in Google. And that’s in the best interest of the long-term health of the network.

We have found that as we add more Content to our site we gain a better CTR. We have our ups and downs but where we have good inbound links and intra-links combined with on-target content relevant to our business theme we see the climb.

My CTR and CPM have been cut by over half and I am usings Google ads that look like regular blue links with a white background – nothing out of the ordinary as far as background and border color. I hope the cost per click rises over the next few weeks or month as advertisers will be competing for fewer click now.

My CTR has dropped from 9-10% to about 6% now which means that i’m earning 40% less everyday. I wanted to wait it out a couple days before I report and now my CTR has been steady at 6% for the past 4 days, never has been this low and today isn’t any better, I’m at about 2.5% CTR. I’ll be dropping adsense today and moving on.

My adsense earnings are severly affected, and I’m sure sooner or later, everyone will realize that Google ads are no longer worth the space given to them. Pls post about some good adsense alertnatives available internationally.

I also just noticed my CTR is way down, but my pageviews are up… Less money… more stickiness.

Time to exploit some more CPM programs… ;-)
