Do not activate Adsense ads: the instructions worked before.:
[support.google.com...]

But currently these instructions no longer work, you have to ask to review again, a waste of time:

@gatormark,
It’s a Canadian thing too.

@gatormark I’m in the USA and Monday was pretty bad for me. Friday-Sunday was shockingly great. Today (Tuesday) is starting off even worse than Monday.

@MMedi26

I guess page RPM and CPC were better Friday and Saturday, but since Friday - Sunday are my lowest traffic days, it didn’t translate to great numbers. Monday traffic was good with good CPC and page RPM.

Page RPM is back to normal today.

Tuesday after the Black Friday through Cyber Monday weekend has always been pretty lackluster for me — every year. Makes sense ... everyone blows out their ad budget over the weekend, and this is the hangover.

@Senechal due to Christmas season, you would think things wouldn’t get too slow after Black Friday

I also use social media for traffic. I mainly use Facebook and the reach is down on there. I feel like I’m being hit from every angle. It’s really a depressing Holiday season.

@MMedi26,

I also depend for a large part on Facebook traffic and Monday, yesterday and today so far, a huge drop.

Woke up this morning and found out Adsense also decided to run an experiment on my account (vignette ads), first thing I did was turn that off.

Wednesdays are my worst day, but today earnings are super low, perhaps a thanksgiving hangover?

Anyone else having a bad day?

@allhearts I opted out of letting Google make choices on their own. I feel like they’re not looking out for us and they’re actually making sure we earn less. With Facebook, that has to be the weirdest social media app out. Whoever is the head seems even sketchier than Elon Musk.

@MMedi26,

I have a FB group with 250,000 members, been sharing content for 7 years straight (never missed a day), I get about 200 new members daily now and yet my reach is at less then 10%.

Due to continued algorithm updates/changes, they have killed off many other groups and pages are dead now.

Because I engage on all my posts and always have, I still get some traffic, but I am hanging on by a thread.

@allhearts I have a page with over 300k followers. There was a time I hit over 60k views on my blog in a day thanks to Facebook. Today I’m barely getting 5k views from them. I think they want us to pay them now with boost lol.

Today is terrible. I’m barely getting any clicks. Anyone else clicks are down? They’ve been down since after Black Friday but today seems extremely low.

It is absolutely clear to me whats happening when it comes to my poor AdSense site earnings. All my sites with organic traffic continue to suffer with earnings (same, if not more traffic). I have 2 sites with paid Facebook reach traffic, these sites are actually paying for themselves with AdSense and my Facebook advertising budget. Why? Because when users click the Facebook link to take them to my site, they are using the Facebook web browser which DOES NOT block any ads! In addition, most of my paid Facebook traffic is displayed to mobile devies.

People are using ad blocking extensions and browsers in almost all traditional browsers today. I do not expect this to change.

For anyone else, I would like to hear your experience regarding FB traffic vs organic and AdSense....

@Breatofair33,

In comparison, 65% of my earnings come from Facebook traffic (mostly mobile), and 35% from everywhere else, so you make a valid point.

Maybe advertisers are waiting to spend on ads starting December 1st because the random huge decline for the last few days of November makes no sense.
