Pretty good here at the moment. Slightly more clicks than normal yesterday and I finished off with a CPC of 20p. Only had a few clicks today but CPC is residing at 33p so I'm predicting an okay-ish day.

I think that's only fair that you get money that you've made from adverts from your website, even if it does get close down for whatever reason.

@Yaashul The US and Canada only.

@Sudarshanms Not as good as AdSense for me, probably because my site is more suitable for CPC bidder, and I have low CTR.

@Mayank... I am working with an adx partner. I find exmarketplace revenue pretty normal(They actually dont optimize anything). But current Adx provider is good and paying much better than adsense.

Acqua Media is current my adx partner. With adx partner u need to integrate analytics. That is a must. Otherwise few adx provider do cheat you with % of share they promise and they actually give.

I heard about Acqua Media in a AdSense video, it's a Hong Kong based company.

Thanks, I will try them too.

My CTR has taken a massive 55 percent blow over the last 2-3 months. It was 3-4%, but now 1.4 - 1.7% range.
RPM is also down about 50 percent. CPC is up about 25%, but my CPC is so low that this doesn't mean much.

My responsive link unit was the money maker for the last 13 months. I was forced to remove it last week, as its performance is now terrible.

Overall earnings are down about 35% even though traffic has risen about 50%.

I get 56% of my traffic from organic Google searches, but my niche and main traffic country are pretty.. meh.

25 of May - GDPR f**king day!
So, no more personalized ads for my visitors (disabled from Adsense Interface) = another drop

CPM is going down steadily this month => another month of financial loss.

In Google Chrome console I am getting the following error with every adsense/adx ad.

show_ads_impl.js:1 Uncaught Error: Bad href
at nj (show_ads_impl.js:1)

Any insights about RPM drops after switching to non-personalized ads?

Today starts Memorial Day weekend in the States so expect earnings to suffer depending on niche. Things should stabilize next week by midweek I expect.

Tell me AdSense is broken.

It is really really bad :(

@May

No, AdSense isn't broken, but earnings are pretty dire. Two or three years ago a bad day for me was less than £20. Nowadays, I would consider £6 to be okay. However, most days are below £5. What is really frustrating is that my CPC is often really good, is just the amount of clicks that are letting me down. I used to get anywhere between 60 and 100 clicks a day two or three years ago, nowadays I'm lucky if I reach 40 which obviously reflects in my earnings. I'm still getting a good number of daily hits but they are obviously just not clicking. Mind you, back in the good old days my layout was much more aggressive than it is now. I suppose I could try experimenting with a different layout and see what happens.

Seeing higher RPM perhaps due to holiday promotions.

For some, like me, long weekends, especially in spring or summer, are the best time of the year. All depends on your niche.

When I checked at 3,000 page views, I had four clicks for a grand total of 15 cents. LOL
