Last month I reported that my CPMs had dropped significantly. Shortly thereafter, they came up a bit. This month, since day one, I've noticed a 30% drop! Views are up, but because the CPMs have dropped again, money is much less than it could be. Am not seeing this on my second site, which has far fewer articles and far fewer views. Anybody else having a similar problem? It's very frustrating because it feels like the more articles I post, the less my potential is for earning.
I had posted about 3 or 4 articles back to back and my cpms dropped by just short of half of what it was for a few days and yesterday it popped back up and today a dip back down a little but not as bad as it had been. I wonder if it has something to do with posting too many articles in a short amount of time.
Same story. I thought it was because of an increase in views on my tomato hubs. Let's see how it goes. Still a lot better than last year, but around a 30% - 40% drop too.
Cpms are down, views about the same, earnings up thanks to Amazon.
Remember it's the start of Q2? Don't CPMs drop at the start of each quarter?
Don't know...all I know is that for all of the articles I have and all that are in niche sites and getting good views, this is a bit disappointing!
CPMs typically drop at the start of a quarter and rise as we get closer to quarter end.

My earnings on Hubpages are approximately down to one quarter of their usual level. Has anyone else experienced this, or know why this is?I hope it's just a temporary glitch.

Has anyone noticed this? My impressions are down 10% although views are up 10% compared to the same period last week.

Although income has been good, I've noticed that my views have dropped significantly...about 66%. I always expect a drop at this time of year, but this is a biggie. Anybody else? I'm a bit surprised by this big of a drop, but then again I wasn't watching views while I was doing...

Taffic drop?Hello there Hubbers! I do have a question for you today. For the last two or three days my statistics on hub views dropped down by more than 75-80%. Is that only me, or this is happening to everyone?

I have been through a lot of ups and downs with my other account, but this account has been pretty stable until the past several weeks. My traffic was cut in half several weeks ago and then today it dropped another 75%. I would have thought I would be used to the roller coasters, but it...
