    Okay, today I have noticed drastic decrease in page impressions and record low earnings in my adsense account. I had not thought before today that google algorithm change will have such a effect on our traffic and earnings. Today, I find myself what I was three years back. Only a few cents per day.....

      I've noticed the same thing, but just today and yesterday -- and traffic has been WAAAAY down those two days. After the initial dip, my traffic was back up pretty much to normal (about 90% what it was before the change) and now it's back down to about 30%-40% of normal. Assuming that I'm not forgetting any major national holidays (again) that would keep people off their computers, I was kind of wondering if they'd done some additional algorithm tweaking or something.

      Google is very strict against spyware/adware downloads via webpage. I just hope they're not limiting searches because of their crawler or Web-of-trust bot detecting any such activity here. sad

      My traffic has dropped 50 percent in just the last couple days, and my earnings right along with it. Gosh, I hope this isn't permanent. I have put so much work into HubPages the last two years.

        I wonder if the post we read yesterday or the day before about google account users being able to block certain sites has gone into effect. I read it somewhere on another thread. It was a recent Google blog entry.  Here it is:

          This ability to block sites has gone into effect. If you are logged into your google account and searching - should you click onto a site and click the back button after seeing the site, once back in search results, there is a messege from google to click if you would like to block the site from your search results. sad

        I don't know that it will be permanent (who does know these things?) but I hope we at least see some upward climb at some point.

        Lots of things seem to be happening, nothing's getting taken for granted and we're all having to chip in to help. I hope you, Mary and many others (probably most of us) will see some real recovery in the future.

        Seems quite devastating for some hubbers.

    Me, too, Wychic.  I had been seeing a slow growth although it had some ups and downs.  Wednesday showed another huge drop, to less than that seen last month.  A slight uptick Thursday, then down even further yesterday.  I too wonder if big G hasn't tweaked their algorithm again, slamming us once more.

    Today is showing good traffic so far, but then I just edited over 100 hubs getting rid of RSS feeds and Amazon capsules.

    Marye Audetposted 13 years ago

    After the initial google drop my adsense had been about 20% of what it was...significant for me because I have gone from about $45-60 a day to 15-20 a day... but I figured I could live with it. the past three days it has been a steady decrease and yesterdays earnings were just over $7.. basically going from 1500.00 a month to 210.00 a month. Amazon is down from 400.00 to 35.00 and ebay is down from about 150.00 to about 5.00 Kontera is showing pennies rather than the 2-6 dollars a day i was making.

    So much for my retirement plan. hmm

    Today I am seeing a small rise in the adsense so I am hopeful.
    As far as yesterday and Japan affecting it? It may well all of my sites were down traffic wise, not just hub pages.

      I am so sorry Marye - I have seen similar hits.  I am still "waiting for the dust toe settle" but I don't think the drops are done.  My hubs seem to keep settling lower and lower in the SERPS.

      I hope the reduction of RSS, amazon ads and news feeds show a quick reversal in their performance.

      Ouch, Marye! Alright, no more bellyaching from me that I'm down about $100 from average on Amazon so far. I guess I've been lucky that my Adsense has stayed relatively steady, but Amazon dropped out the bottom and that's usually my big earner. eBay has stayed at .13 a click, but veeeeery few clicks coming through this month.

      The adsense ad structure has changed. There is a thread by Paul E. at the top of the forum explaining this. There will now be a 728x60 adsense ad at the top of the page instead of the 2 banner ads. You MUST be logged out of your account in order to see it though.

      Yes, though it took a couple of attempts.

      I eventually got it by going to one of my hubs whilst signed in, clicking 'sign out' and then clicking the 'return to previous page' option.

      I almost couldn't see the banner for looking initiall although it's plastered across the top of the page - but it's definitely there.

    If I'm totally off base here someone let me know okay....
    If we have Adsense Ads 100% of the time, then we make X amount of dollars.
    But with the new ad sharing thing in effect, won't they show other ad networks and not Adsense 100% of the time?
    So if your Hub has half Adsense and half ad network, you will make less money on Adsense because Adsense ads are showing less.
    Well that is if you are not in the new pilot program.

    So...
    If I had a Hub showing 100% Adsense all the time and made 20.00 a day, if you replace half the ads with the new network, the Adsense goes down to 10.00 a day.
    Now if I am in the new program, that get's made up.
    But if I'm not, wouldn't that be cutting my Adsense profits in half?

    Like I said, I may be totally off here.
    And maybe someone will 'splain it to me.

      The way I understand the *New* ad program. Unless you are in the program, you will NOT have the new ads showing on your 60% of the time. The ads will only show the 40% of HP time.

    Marye I'm going through a similar exercise of pairing Amazon and ebay capsules down to the recommended 1 product per capsule. I just have to wonder if that's enough product showing to make any sales. If not, then will the adsense recover enough to compensate.

    I never believed in using the news capsules so that's not an issue.

    I'm hanging in there at about $50 a day for adsense, Amazon and ebay combined. But Amazon has just plumeted after the removal of most of my Amazon capsules. ebay has begun to weaken in the past few days.

    I don't qualify for the HP affiliate program, so I'm not sure what effective monetization strategy will exist for me beyond adsense.

    Oh and I was out in shops and restaurants all over Cape Cod this morning. No one was even mentioning Japan. So I don't think on Main Street America this is an issue that will preclude economic activity.

    I think that the downturn we are seeing is specific to the Farmer update and perhaps some earnings dislocation given the new HP affiliate program and ad locations.

      wildernessposted 13 years agoin reply to this

      Nelle, you say that amazon has plummeted after removing lots of ads, but are you confident that that is the reason?  Or are you seeing much lower traffic the past 2 or 3 days as some of us are? 

      I just deleted a bunch of amazon ads from information type hubs, but my amazon income isn't nearly enough to even know if it's dropped let alone attribute any drop to that.

        My traffic has been steady (pitiful but steady) since February 26th.

        The impact of going from 48 products to 5 or 6 on a page is the culprit. Believe me there was a reason that I designed my product hubs the way I did. I've spent 10 years optimizing online sales pages.

        Perhaps adsense will kick in - I honestly don't know at this point. It seems if you qualify for the HP affiliate program that there is hope.

      It is enough to still drive sales, if done properly. My highest-performing product hubs have always been those with one Amazon capsule matched with one text capsule and only one Amazon product in the Amazon capsule. (Wow, that was a mouthful!)

      Despite the drop in traffic (which has stabilized, thank goodness), my Amazon conversion rate remained at 14%+ until two days ago, when it took a nosedive to around 7%. I don't know if it's temporary or if it goes hand in hand with my totally pathetic AdSense earnings of late.

        lrohner do you think that the HP affiliate program and those HUUUGGE Kroeger ads are just blinding your visitors? You're in the HP affiliat program right?

        I logged out and went back to my pages, and under Hubpages impression was the biggest leaderboard display I've ever seen with all the Kroeger branding and there was one going down the side as well.

        It has to affect how visitors perceive the hub.

          Good point, Nelle. That could explain the recent and sudden tanking of my Amazon/AdSense. I didn't even think of those. I think my mind is trying to block them out completely. smile

          As I pointed out in another thread yesterday, the thing that really bugs me about them is that those ugly ads don't even apply to most of my visitors, as Kroger only has a presence in something like half of the states. If it had to be butt ugly, couldn't they at least have made it a relevant ad? smile

          Anyhoo, I was just trying to reassure that fewer products doesn't necessarily mean fewer sales. Historically, my product hubs that have ranked the best and made me the most money were the ones with a high text/low product ratio.

Because I'm seeing them and I've never ever seen a Kroegers. There are none near here. And right now I don't think I want to go into one. The ads aren't impressing me as a consumer.

    My earning from HubPages on Adsense have gone down to one third of what i was making earlier and amazon too has taken a severe blow by going down to almost the same level as adsense. My saving grace has been my own blogs which has increased both in terms of traffic and revenue but still nowhere near to compensate for the revenue dip. I only hope the HubPages Ads Program compensates for the revenue fall.

    All my Hubs have news and rss capsules, I will try some tweaks and see if it makes a difference.

        It's just not a stiff upper lip - I generally need a stiff gin before I look at my Adsense and Amazon reports these days.

        It's very demotivating as February was shaping up to be my best Amazon month ever before the Slap, and I was just beginning to feel that after a lot of hard work, that I was starting to earn regularly.

        But in the greater scheme of things, you can only learn and move forward from these setbacks, and I only have to turn on the TV to see that a lot of people, especially in Japan, have much larger challenges and sorrows to deal with than I have.

    My Amazon sales are about normal, maybe slightly lower in number and dollar amount, but nothing alarming.  My Adsense is still zero for the weekend.  Two back to back days at zero!

      Hi KCC!
      If a Hubber with 345 Hubs has had zero clicks this weekend, is there hope for any of us?
      I am truly grateful for my €1.00 - it must have been luck.
      Hope things improve for you during the week. Can you let us know?

    Not much different here, had a slight increase post Google slap, but the last 48 hours has been a near flat line.

    But, the best is yet to come... !

    I initially saw about a 30-40% drop in Adsense traffic and earnings after the Google slap, but what I'm seeing the last two days is unreal. 

    To answer your question, Camlo......I can only hope it improves.  I've spent many hours this weekend tweaking in hopes of redeeming myself.

      I cannot believe how bad it has become.  While my traffic is down ~30%, my adsense is down ~70%.  Even with the offset of the Hubpages Ad program, I am still down a LOT more than the reduction in traffic.

      And Amazon has shriveled up.  I am still working hubs hoping that there will be a rebound...folks are saying "wait until the dust settles" - but I hope we are near the worst of it.

        I don't think adsense drop is related to traffic drop. It rather likely to be related to growing oil prices and shrinking advertising budgets. Though my adsense CPC on HP stays the same or even slightly rises, so this is a pure speculation on my side so far. smile

    Remember this is going to roll out over time. So as new waves hit, it will continue to worsen. Sorry I really can't think of anything positive to say about the trends on shared sites right now.

    If you don't have your own sites, this might be a good time to start.

      These should be smaller ripple effects though Nelle. google.co.uk has the next biggest traffic after google.com, no other google search site attracts more traffic than these two.

    Since the advertising layout change specifically, AdSense income has taken a serious hit.  Virtually no CPM revenue, virtually no interest-based or placement targeting type revenue (presumably all because the ad units that earned those are gone).

    HubPages Ad Program seems to be performing the same, so it's not making up for losses. 

    Just to make it clear, the problem isn't lower eCPM - that's a problem, but not what I'm seeing as THIS problem.  And lower Amazon earnings are not the problem.  I can speculate that what's happened in Japan has created a dip in eCPM and affiliate purchases, and that eCPM and Amazon earnings dips are related both to Panda and to the HubPages Ad Program.   Different issue.

    The problem I'm referring to here is the fact that CPM, placement targeted and interest-based earnings have gone to very near zero, and they weren't insignificant before.

    I don't know the solution, but I DO think that YieldBuild in this case might be a liability.  Some hubs really would be far better optimized with manually placed AdSense ads - even if we had to cut down the numbers of ad units to accommodate HubPages rules.

    I thought if a site loses a bit of Google's trust, the site will display ads from advertisers who are bidding lower values for ads than they previously used to do..

    Reasons for drop in Adsense
    1. Content is not updated, or not posted updated content.
    2. Some issue with ad display and placement or ad codes.
    3. Poor content and writing skills
    4. Lack of interest in blogging
    5. Malware, account hack, hold from google, unattended notices etc.

    best luck!
