Is it just me or has the Google ad program earning gone down drastically by close to 60% this month?
If it's just me, kindly guide on what can be fixed.
I'm experiencing the same, Shivani. I think it's part of the transition we're going through related to decreased traffic after the switch from subdomains to main HP page. Not sure there's anything we can do except wait for things to stabilize.
Ouch! Let's breathe, wait, keep calm and hope everything gets better soon.
Mine has dropped 60% as well. Re-organisation of site to remove subdomains has been a disaster! Residual Panda impact, probably. Traffic now at lowest level for 2015, overall and for my pages. No real explanation or feedback provided by HP.
Don't worry. I don't think it's just you. Each time I look at everything, I can't help but think, "Ouch..." about it.
Until everything stabilizes, I'm just floating around, waiting and watching.
In contrast to your situation, mine has increased. It may be due to the recent changes that HubPages made. As far as HubPages Ad Program is concerned, I am earning pennies.
My traffic has actually increased too but earnings have gone up only slightly.
This has been my absolute worst month in years...terrible.
Mine has increased, but it does this time of year. Still it isn't as high as in years past. I hope things improve after the holiday season or I'll be in trouble too.
I saw a nice recovery the week after a pretty disappointing month overall so I guess time will tell.
Seen a drastic decline in traffic first week of November which stabilized somewhat in the latter half of the month. Earning wise from adsense 30% reduction from October and traffic wise 50% reduction. Let's hope it stabilizes.
Yes my November earnings are also the lowest for a long time. :-(
