I was doing great up until the last day of March. April has been disappointing in terms of earnings, even when the traffic has somewhat recovered. Is anyone else going through the same dry spell?
I think that it depends on what niche you write in. I write gardening hubs and since the gardening season has begun, my earnings have risen considerably both last month and even more this month. If past performance is any indication of the future, my earnings will peak in May and then drift downwards through the summer and into the fall.
Earnings are usually low the first few days of a new quarter.
Yesterday (Saturday) wasn't too bad. Almost back to March levels. Usually it takes between a few weeks and a month for CPM to recover once a new quarter starts.
Yes, but it will be back, par for the course; it's the way the ball bounces and the cookies crumble. No worries.
Yes. But, it didn't last long. Overall, I am happy with the trends.
The drama. The intrigue. What will it show tomorrow about today? The decisions that must be made for May?
I wish Google or Maven would announce some sort of major advertising contract or blitz. That would make it easy. But nothing has ever been easy before, so why should it start now?
Meanwhile, I've noticed increased activity with AdSense the last couple days.
Well, sports fans. I've made my choice.
The HP Ad Program is kind of like the bond market: steady, reliable, predictable, seldom any heart attack inducing surprises.
AdSense is kind of like a typical NASDAQ day: erratic, no-holds-barred, unpredictable, both heart attack and euphoria inducing for any given day or at any given moment.

by Mamerto Adan 2 years ago
I know that Hubpages is just collecting more accurate data. And that there are delays with the third party. But in a lot of cases, I get greatly reduced CPM when there is a delay in earning updates. I missed an opportunity when my hubs scored more than a thousand views last weekend. After a delay...

When I checked my daily earning for the month of August, I noticed that I got $18 CPM; and $0.18 Dollars for 31 days. Now, what I am seeing on my ad program summary is $0.88 CPM, and $0.07 Dollars. Please, how is this earning being calculated? Is it not per day earning?

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.
