horribly low earnings :(

Hypothetically speaking, on 126 impressions, i'll have 5 clicks, and only earn $.22. Why do i even have adsense taking up my page load times?

it's 1st quarter, and we're heading (if not already in) twoards a recession. Ad money is at an all time low.

February is my worst month since april 2003

You can try filtering out the lower paying sites

12 clicks, and $.29 cents. This is disgusting and pointless, recession or not, making less then .03 a click is a waste of my page space.

what does it mean, if the ads are being displayed, but there is no URL under the ads?

are you using the links version of adsense? those require 2 clicks for a payout instead of one.

Nope, don't use link units.


Still wondering why some ads havea URL under them, and then others dont

just different variations. some have scroll bars now too.

but yeah, feb as a whole sucked royally. i did about 40% of my average this month.

I know AdSense has a way to filter advertisers (domains). But is there a way to find out which site is the lower paying one? I would be very appreciative if you would share such information. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, i was wondering if maybe the ones without a URL didn't get tracked/counted. I've seen the ones with scroll bars, used to get them all the time but haven't seen them lately

February starts wells for me, but at 10th started to getting low and low. Let's wait for good times...

Mine pays less than I spend on my servers housing. It's not a fortune, hell I'd expect more with 50K unique a day, but still an income I didn't had prior to use adsense.

Sounds like time to start optimizing as much as you can.

Interestingly I earn all time high in February almoth 60% higher than average monthly earnings.

Maybe you are optimized for the term "recession".
