My earnings have been plummeting pretty drastically since July 10th. By drastically I mean like more than 30%! And every day they are lower and lower which is pretty scary to watch. I don't know what causes these drastic surges but I sure don't like them! I remember about 9 months ago things were steady and pretty predictable. Lately things feel like on a roller coaster ride and I would like to know what may be causing these changes. If I were to make a graph, it would look like Mount Everest followed by an underground crater! The odd thing is that since 9 months ago I also have more articles and the quality are surely higher than those of several months and years ago. Is anybody going through this?
Ever since Panda hit in February of last year, many forum threads have been started dealing with drops in traffic. Here are some:

There are plenty more. You are not alone.
Adsense is a joke these days both here and on my own sites. HP ads and Amazon seem to be steady for me, if not quite the dizzy heights of the past.
My Adsense revenue has drastically dipped this month. I think the Adsense campaign giving out free advertising a few months back suggested that they are struggling. A lot of big organizations seem to experiment with alternatives to Adsense nowadays.
You're lucky that your Amazon is holding up. Mine is very poor on HP, though doing okay elsewhere.

My daily earnings have dropped drastically -- WHY? Is it because HP has pulled ads on my hubs due to the "unfeatured" hubs, which are mostly poems? Are poems not worthy of being featured and getting daily earnings? And WHY does HP decide what should or should not be featured?...

Every time I hop hubs my hubber score plummets. I would think that the time and care I put into this would improve my score. Is this a fluke or am I not doing a good job when hopping so my score falls?

First, please forgive me if this has been asked a hundred times already. I've tried searching through the forums, but without a better search feature, it's difficult to find out if someone has already asked about the same problem I'm having. The only thing that came close was "KNOWN ISSUE:...

I was getting great traffic until Panda hit in 2011 and my traffic took a nosedive. The last six months or so my traffic was increasing nicely. I was excited to work on HP again. However, the last week or so I lost it all and now am sitting back at my lows.Oh well, it...

After 3 months of active work my earnings through Amazon was only 3.70$. Although the conversion was 20% - 13 sales, with 64 clicks (goods is very cheap - the cost of 1, 99$).Me interests, whether there are people who earn here by means of Amazon (at least 100 dollars a month)?
