Every so often I have really strange days with adsense.
My click through rate goes up by I have a corresponding drop in value per click. This drop is very significant with the average click value on these days 5 - 6 times less than normal.
This does not include zero value clicks that occur occasionally either.
That is obviously a huge percentage variation.
Anyone else have days with such massive drops in click value? It seems odd that all clicks seem to be tiny when my writing covers a wide variety of topics and all seem affected.
You know I used to always think I had the answers to Adsense.
The truth is no one will ever figure it out.
I just continue doing what I am doing and some how in the end it works out quite nicely.
I guess it just matters on what people are paying for Adwords on that day.
How many people are paying and how the searches are going.
I know this doesnt really help with what you asked. I learned a long time ago to just go with the flow with adsense and pay attention to the TOS

Sounds about right to me Dale.
I wouldn't be surprised if google added some kind of random element into the way ads are served for each account just to keep everyone guessing. They are very protective of the information they let out and steady, regular numbers make it easier to work out how their programs function.
That is funny, because I was just having the same kind of day today. My adsense page impressions were similar to the last week, but the CPM$ and the clicks went down significantly.
I have had days with 8 dollar clicks and then the next day the same site is giving me 4 cent clicks
I AM SO CONFUSED
Actually adsense has been a great source of income for me the last about 2 years so like I said I stopped trying to figure them out.

The last 2 days have been the most dismal I have seen on my adsense in months, maybe years. And traffic is dropping again.I tend to think it has a lot to do with the happenings in Japan, people are preoccupied with the disasters (and rightfully so).HP ad program is looking good though. It's nice to...

Hi,I have noticed that my analytics if showing good traffic to my hubs, but my adsense is not showing any clicks to my hubs ever since I started. I do not understand how I can have a decent amount of traffic and yet no clicks. Could I have adsense set up wrong with hubpages? ...

I was reading that Google will know if you clicked one of your ads from a different computer with a different IP address. For example, you go to work and go to one of your articles on your work computer and click an ad. It's the same as going to an internet cafe and doing it there, basically. I...

I am pretty new to hubpages, and I hear that a lot of people make money off of adsense and amazon, but I have heard almost nothing about Kontera. Is anyone using this or making any moeny from it? Is it worth my time?

Has anyone else had this problem by any chance? I have not had any Google earnings for 4 days in a row which is unheard of.Even on my worst days I will get at least .01.The clicks are there, I can access my Google adsense account, I haven't gotten any kind of notification - but not a penny in...

I have noticed that upon removing Kontera from my hubs that my AdSense earnings went up. Kontera seemed pretty useless even when I was earning with it because the click were not really all that profitable. One AdSense click seems to be worth more than a Kontera click even when it's like one of the...
