My CPM was really low yesterday. When this happened on January 14th and people complained on the Forum, the CPM miraculously was changed and almost doubled! Does anyone know what is going on here?
I would be very surprised if complaints turned in to increased earnings but it's worth a try!
Due to the significant traffic drop caused through my better hubs selection of EC, I was certain it had to do with that but I think you are right.
I'm so sorry about your EC Hubs. (I opted out.) But, should the traffic affect the CPM? The traffic would affect the overall income, but why would the CPM be affected if traffic is relatively the same for the same Hubs?
In the past two days my CPMs were also quite a bit lower than before.
It probably has its ups and downs like mostly everything else.
Just ups and downs. They are good one day, evil the next, must be due to holidays still. That, and the strange weather everywhere.
I suppose it could still be he holidays. After all, we are still just getting use to the New Year.
The country keeps getting hit with Arctic Blasts. That accounts for the 'strange weather'.

This month my CPM for the HP Ad Program is super low. It's been under $1.50 every day so far. And last month I had a lot of days where it was under $2. Wondering why that is and if it's just happening to me or if others are experiencing this as well.

Anyone else have extremely low CPM figures over last 24 hours? Could this be a glitch or is the Russian invasion of Ukraine making global markets wobble? If so we could be in for a rough ride.

While traffic is back to pre-September levels, CPM has taken a battering, it seems. Is anyone else noticing the same trend?

This has been a problem for years now, really since the induction of the HubPages ad program and it's pretty much what has made me give on on HubPages (I used to write a lot, now seldom.)I have a hub that occasionally gets huge bursts of traffic as it's popular in social media. On those days, I...

Why are CPMs so low? Is there something authors can do to improve their CPMs? Perhaps topics to write in?I'm just disappointed in ad earnings with such an increase in traffic. I'm always stuck at the same amount of money per day even when I prune articles and improve them and gain more traffic. It...
