Thing picked up in the last couple of days but I always get a little scared around the early morning hours. Like today, I only have 1 click when I would usually have at least 10 by this time.

Don’t know what’s going on this week but I do not like it.

Up and down the past week. One day is good, and the next day is down.

Today is my lowest clicks and revenue day in years. Something is definitely up.

Another terrible day. Page RPM is horrible and it’s unfortunate because when I look at my other numbers, this would typically be a great day for me if everything added up well.

CPC is absolutely awful. Nothing is changing I had a day last week I made more with Amazon Associates

RPM 50% down compared to June 22. CPC 50% down too.
I have noticed big decline on CPC and RPM since mid of May.

Yesterday was terrible but the amount of views and clicks I had made up for it even though my RPM was bad. Today I woke up with 39 clicks but a really bad RPM. My RPM is starting to take a turn for the worse. Maybe the summer isn’t a good time for advertising? I don’t know

Terrible RPMs, just terrible. Are ads really 25% cheaper this year? If not, where is that money going?

The real-time clawbacks are just plain cruel sometimes... : /

Revenue, CPC is low. Clicks are weird. Funny that I’m still up from June 2022. Maybe I’m doing better than what I think and it’s possible that June is always terrible month for me?

@CommandDork
Yeah, how come I never have clawbacks (clawforwards?) on my Google Ads spending and only on Adsense.

The traffic was better, but payment sux, so no candy for my kids for another month.

I did some research, and my average RPM is 30% lower than it was in 2018. That's a pretty hefty pay cut!

Yesterday was pretty good day in terms of CPC/RPM, after a long time. Today is not that high but it is not bad either. Let's hope it keeps up and improve

Up, down, up, down...still, I'm 9% ahead of last year's June. So, I will take it! Hopefully, this bodes well for my next fiscal year which for me is September through August.

Same, I’m up 12% compared to last year but everything still feels so terrible. I’m surprised I’m up.

Such a depressing month. I’ve noticed that I always get more clicks when my rpm is low but when I have a decent rpm, my clicks are low.

Everyone knows about the drop early in the year in January. There is a similar drop that happens around July 1st. I think this is the beginning of that drop, hang in there and we will improve into August and beyond.
Terrible week-end, again. Discovery is reset again for me, traffic is almost dead, this also combined with low eCPM.

@Pistoche
It is what I refer to as "The Dead Zone." Every year from mid-June to the last week of August is "The Dead Zone," when CPC drops, traffic drops, and revenue plummets. For me, it's due in part to the fact I rely heavily on students, and they are out of school during this time. Every year it's the same. I know to set aside money to weather this yearly storm.
