And a New Milestone - Crossed 400,000 Views Mark

1. 92

   srsddnposted 8 years ago

   Yesterday, I crossed  400,000 page views mark, the last one was about 10 months back. This happened in spite of limited interaction on HubPages during this period. Thanks to all my Fellow Hubbers who keep me motivated.
   But there is one recent observation. Starting first week of January there is a substantial drop in CPM, though the drop in Impressions is only marginal. This impacts earning adversely.
   Any suggestions?

      Congratulations srsddn!
      
      In regards to the CPM, that's normal for this time of year. Advertising agencies spend a large part of their budget in the leadup to Christmas, so Quarter 1 is usually quite low in terms of revenue. It ebbs and flows throughout the year based on public holidays, events, interest in topics you write about and so on.

      Unfortunately, as WryLilt mentions, lower CPM is normal for this time of year.
