April mirrored March for me. Same revenue.

We are on the 5th month of the year and May is starting off just as bad as every month so far in 2023. Keep hoping things start to get better every new month but no signs of that yet.

At least clawback is finally under control. Amazing the difference from a year ago.

Over here too. May following the drop trend that was in april. CPC and RPM are better than april, but the clicks have simply disappeared since may 1st.

Yesterday was my best day of the year, traffic-wise. However, it was not close to the best day for revenue. :-(

My clicks after extremely low as well. Revenue also is pretty poor these first days of May. I just find the change from the last day of the month to the first days of a new month so interesting.

Yes, clicks have dropped by half for me as well in the first few days of this month, not sure what is going on.

Lets hope fed pauses (U.S.) rate hikes after today. Will give clearer direction for the big $ to spend after and we could start seeing significant improvements in our earnings. GL all

Others started noticing zero clicks count in mid March: [webmasterworld.com...]
This continued for more users through April: [webmasterworld.com...]

It does seem to get sorted after about two weeks more or less. But no official news or announcement yet from AdSense as to what or why, and whether those clicks ever are counted.

May is up 5% over last year. Let’s see how long this lasts… ;-)

Lucky! I’m stable with where I was last year at the moment but usually by this time, I would see some kind of progress but still nothing.

My ad review center doesn't work properly today. When I enter keywords to filter ads, it basically shows all ads, even if they don't contain the keyword I am filtering for. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Woke up this morning expecting a change but this is honestly looking like the worst month of the year so far for me. I guess May just isn’t a lucky month.

New month, new experience...

End of April picked up significantly, small drop in May but still quite a pick up. Hoping it sticks through end of Q2 as it's usually seasonally favorable for us.

Currently down nearly 40% from this time last year.

Yesterday CPC 0.11$. I can't remember the last time I had a CPC below 0.15$. And then suddenly 40% lower than usual. Wow. What a shock.

worst month since three years so far

Same here, so far really bad this month.

How are those from the USA with a USA-focused website doing this month? Surprisingly, I am still up a little from last year and today is higher than normal.

I'm in Canada but have a USA focused website and the earnings are at a new low.

I had some home in the last 3 days, but now another low record day.

I’m from the USA and it’s a terrible start to the month. My RPM seen a rise today but my clicks are still very low compared to this time last year and last month.

In Europe not even better... So far -55% compared to last year. Terrible =(

Europe North America
-55 % against last year and massive realtime clawback.
with exceptional few high revenue days

Stats frozen ?

I’m actually in shock with how bad this is going.

People no longer click on ads? What the f*** is going on?

Since april 1st, users are clicking for half of previous months. May continues without clicks on ads...

I honestly think there’s a lack of quality ads being placed this month. Advertisers aren’t promoting.
