I cannot believe it, but for me, February 2021 was an all-time record in just 28 days.

"How did everyone do this month?"

Picked up slightly from the middle of the month.

Better than February 2020. January 2021 was better.. but then February has only 28 days.

Yes, I do my own SEO.

Very, very good February. I am up 63% over February of last year. It was the best Adsense February since 2017.

My balance is slightly higher than the estimated earnings?! Unless I'm reading it wrong, how is this even possible?

@gatormark

I don’t do well from search engines, most of my traffic is from social media.

My site ‘s niche is food from a country in Europe and it should do better, is there an SEO 101 guide/article you could recommend?

I’m just a beginner when it comes to SEO and would love to learn more but there is overwhelming stuff on the web and I don’t know which are good and which are not.

Thank you.

Wow! 10.7% clawback! I had been doing very well the past few months but now it's back to the big clawbacks. :-(

Same here : (

My clawback jumped back to 14% after two good months of around 3%. They must've removed whatever system protections they had implemented back in Jan.

Same result across two accounts over the same span.

Hello,

Some actions are not reported in real time.

@Mayank it has happened several times with me.

My clawback has finally dropped to 9.5%. This is a big difference as it has been around 20% in recent months.
I have included some Cloudflare options like Captcha for all visits from Russia, China, Brazil, TOR users, Ghana, Egypt, Mexico etc .... Then for each visitor whose threat score is equal to and greater than 5.

I have to say that I expected an even smaller clawback in spite of everything.

1% clawback which is average for me. Well up on February 2020.

My clawback was up a little from January. I ended February with a 4.8% clawback.

173% up compared to the February 2020, 17% up compared to January 2021. Clowbacks is insignificant, 0.1% to be precise.

March started strong, hopefully this pattern continues throughout the entire month.
