i dont agree… adbrite sucks.. i was using adbrite having 4 5k per day, but low earnings.. it took time in the beginning but later it pays good.. ecpm remain high.. but dont use only images ads..

Ace Underwood, for a charity/non commercial type site you should put up a PalPal donation button. I reckon you could make a few bucks a day if you document what you spend the money on well. Keeps the ads as well.

Ace Underwood, you should try positioning your ads in different places. Also make the ads look the same as your content, this seems to work well for me on my sites.

How are you folks making $20 or $50 a day?? The highest I’ve ever gotten was .05 (yeah, a nickel) in one day. It’s killing me because I put up ads to pay for the vet bills for three cats I rescued; I thought I should at least get a few bucks a day, but at this rate I will never reach the $100 minimum to actually get paid. I get a couple of hundred people a day but no one has ever clicked an ad. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong? Do you guys heavily promote your site? If so, how?

Thanks!

You should also consider the location where you place your ad. If you put your ad in a place which is prone to be mistakenly clicked by your reader will surely decrease your eCPM.

when i checked my adsense stats and plot it per day..i observed that the significant decrease started on 1 week of March.

what is interesting is that the CTR and traffic is the same as before. This only means that the lower eCPM is because of the decreasing price per ad click.

Hi,
I would like to ask if i can publish both adbrite and adsense on the same page?

In my case, i started to experience the downtrend of eCPM on the first week of June. My daily income declined by $10 (average) although traffic is still the same.

The same thing here.
I used to make $20 a day, and it has been going down for months…. every month is the lower and lower… Now I am lucky if I get to earn $5 a day… this month the average is $3.4 a day.
In my personal opinion, there are two aspects created this trend, the economic turn down, and it is not just that advertisers are paying less (lets remember that there is always a minimum bid for most keywords), I think Google is paying less for click; and the second is that I really think that people know what those ad are just that ADS, and it may be creating some sort of rejection… I used to click on those ads my self in the past… but not anymore, because I know that those may not be relevant… you know.
I may be taking Google Adsense off my site… for if this continues like this, I am not gonna make a cent.

I found another post (somewhere) that a user made a test publishing an ad on his on site, clicked on it from another ISP, and he earned .10 cents for an ad he paid $1, so it is a 10% share…

Same here, 50% drop since last week of April. Traffic, Impressions are the same, but eCPM is very low…

I’m using adsense to make money on my blog, but I’m also trying my luck in affiliate marketing, it seems though it really works out well. Although I still have to learn more about increasing your CTR rate.

I wouldn’t look at it as a permanent thing. If it is due to the recession, then we only need to go wait it out. We blog for the long term so these types of changes should not really bother us that much. Then again, if you feel you need to change to other ad providers, I’m sure you’re free to do so.

I just checked my stats and while my clicks have more than doubled, my eCPM has dropped in half.

A question for you guys: Over your career with AdSense have you noticed a direct relationship that (all else being equal) as your pageviews for a specific site increase your average eCPMs always go down?

I’ve had a lot of sites grow exponentially over the years, but my eCPM’s almost always drop and so my income either stays the same or just grows slightly.

me too, im experiencing this decline since January. But I think its due to my un-updated blog Ive been really busy this past months so I’ll follow up my missed postings maybe ill see a change on trends in my adsense

I also experienced that eCPM and income downtrend starting the first week of March. Many publishers in other forums are also reporting the same. Something certainly happened because it’s not just an isolated case. What that is, I have no idea but I don’t think it’s because of the recession alone.

I don’t know about you guys but just this March, I noticed a significant increase in my adsense earnings. My blog is 3 months old and i began updating it regularly on the 2nd month, february. I was earning $3-$5 per day on that month and on the last week or Feb til now, I am earning $30-$50 per day.

Sure my traffic has gone up from 200-300 / day last feb and on march 8,000 – 10,000 but i have another blog before that has the same amount of traffic but was earning just $10-$20 / day.

Akala ko panandalian lang but i still earn the same amounts til today.

Oh on the adbrite part, if you’re newly registered member, you will have to wait 3 months i think before you get your first payout. Do correct me if im wrong. Adbrite ako dati eh.

Is one of these big time publishers Inquirer? I wonder why they still use Adsense. They’re a newspaper. Why would anyone click link ads on an online newspaper?

@aloof kid
I checked my mail this morning and fortunately I got my adsense account reinstated. Well, I’m feeling lucky this summer. I hope I could earn a lot from both Adsense and Adbrite so I could buy a new laptop.

Since they bought DoubleClick my eCPM changed dramatically down and I earned $20-30 per month so that will take about 3-4 months or more before I can reach the minimum payout of $100. The longest waiting for the minimum payout I have experience is about 6 months, thats the longest I ever had to wait for.

Actually, my eCPM had significantly increased this march and more than doubled my adsense earnings. It might depend on the topic of choice.

i think the decline in CPM is just temporary. it would rebound back to normal levels by june or so.

Pricing of ecpm is not the only factor to consider, Adsense made a lot of changes since 1st week of March.

And lately, they’re having some bugs in their system.

@aloof kid
Luigi Francisco is right. My ISP is pldt my dsl and I noticed that my IP address changes regularly.

@Luigi Francisco
It depends on your definition of small traffic. I have 4000 unique visitors and 14000 pageviews daily. I earn 10-15 dollars per day. It’s from Adbrite’s Text, Banner, Full page and Inline Ads.

Abe, have a few emails for you, related to this.

@aloof kid
Maybe the problem is with your ISP. Like smartbro, most of them have the same IP as the others. Im not just sure but correct me if I am wrong.

@adbritepays
Will you recommend adbrite to new bloggers too? What if no one bids in your ad due to little site traffic?
