    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.
