Offerwall: calculate how much it brings against how much you miss in terms of revenues
Result: negative ration

RPM is a little better this month, but traffic keeps decreasing, so overall, income is down. It's been nine months since HCU, and my site has still not recovered.
76% down compared to last year.

@Soulofmonk,

Pretty bad here as well as far as traffic goes.

Down about 70% from google alone.

Had this notification on my Adsense dashboard just now.

"Turn on AdSense’s highest-performing ad format and grow your revenue potential

We predict that using vignette ads could help you earn 20% more on average."

I'm a true believer after turning it on a few days ago and recommend others who are not using it, to try it.

Good luck.

@allhearts
Why vignette ads what was before most hated by Google is now most lovely by Google?

@universenet,

If that was ever the case, I guess over time, it has proven to be one of the most profitable ad formats for them.

You know what they say, “money talks and B.S. walks”.

Vignette ads is very important for google, this is way how google make out publishers for just give them few cents and users never see website what they did click for ..this is modern slave internet

@universenet,

Checking my traffic stats just now, my traffic has been going down over the week since I turned on "Vignette ads", so I'm trying "Siderail ads" to see if that helps any and turning off "Vignette ads" for now.

To me it's not just about money, I do care about user experience as well, and maybe my users are trying to tell me something.

There is no perfect formula with Adsense, you have to try different things and create a balance that’s good for you and your visitors.

last two months were ok, things picked up again but since June 1st, a total drop - almost 50%

Summer has 'saved' me but still struggling to meet last June's numbers. The CPM switch, coupled with general SERP craziness and A.I. nonsense, has really been a major setback in 2024. You have to have more monetized sites to counter the losses.

Online creators / publishers are going to go extinct by 2030.

Agree @CommandDork,

2024 has been the sh*ts, if it’s not one thing it’s another, and I thought 2023 was bad…

I don't see earnings from Offerwall in my reports. How to filter it?

@enforces

Reports Breakdown: "Requested Format" >> "Ad Format"

It's shown as "Display" >> "Rewarded".

If you see an ad that just has a green button that says "START" on it with an arrow to the right of that, on your sites, block that as soon as you can, it's a malware/virus site, the url to block is "sites.google.com/".

It was all over my site and it looked suspicious so I clicked on it, it took me to a entrance page that just said "Continue", Once I clicked there it took me to a different domain full of popups, an audio said I had a virus and my computer was infected and for me to click/download something etc.

Things have gone downhill for me since Monday. How is everyone doing?

I've gone from $15 a day in October 2023 to 10 cents. Since Adsense is dead to me, will pivot and focus on other ways to use my website. Adsense was a bonus. The original intention of my website was to promote my print-on-demand stores. Once again - note to self - Google wants to kill me.

@allhearts : The situation is stable for me, with a +13.1% increase compared to the same days in June 2023 so far. RPM is up, but page views are down by 12% compared to last year (according to the current figures from Adsense). If June ends positively, it will be the fourth consecutive month above the 2023 figures.

@loboblahz,

Great to hear someone is actually doing well, it gives us all who are not doing so well some hope that things will/can turn around.

Since my ad revenue fell off by about 90% (actually more, going back to 2018) recently, I've made a few changes on my site, but mostly incomplete and inconsequential.

Now, if today (June 20) continues on its current trajectory, it may be the best day I've had in three months and the most page views in maybe a year. At the very least, it will make three of the past four days (don't know what happened on the 18th and don't care) the highest revenue and pageviews of the month.

This observation leads me to believe that it's all about impressions and page views, as I always assumed. Google plays around with the SERPS, AI, all their algos, etc. Someday, they'll get it right, I suppose, but it seems that their bots are indexing more of my pages, or, was it my critique of "Juneteenth" that turned the tide?

Any way, I like what I'm seeing the past few days. At some point I hope to make 5% of the U.S. poverty rate on a regular basis. (not kidding / don't need the money).

I had 0 clicks big early this month it's fixed now. Also RPM was down to few dollars now it's $10-$12.. so it's something.

Traffic from Google is still declining and most of AdSense revenue is from bing traffic.

I contacted Google CEO and reported issue through AdSense UI to fix 0 clicks bug.

As far as a drop in traffic from google goes, I have been trying to back track my actions for the past year, and the only thing I can think of that might have something to do with the huge drop in the search traffic is:

I added a bit of AI generated content to my site roughly about 10 months to a year ago, I have noticed the decrease in traffic starting about 9 months ago, could it be related?

Just wanted to let you all know.

I would be careful about using too much AI on a website. I think a backlash is brewing among the general public against artificial content. However, it's worth experimenting with and you should definitely know how it works.

Every search company can do what want with search result
Example everyone can have website for search similar like a google has
and can do search in way how want, crazy way, advertising way ( put advertisers in all ifrst pages)
or any other possible situation
butt I hope that everyone here in forum understand that it is
different law for monopolistic firms,
monopolistic companies can NOT do what they want, they are under diferent law
Google is under diferent law because google is monopolistic company and this is big diferent from other websites.
Of course that law is just for countries what accept that law (EU, USA, Japan.. and some signicifant numbers of other coutrneis too)

I knew it was all over when I read Google ENCOURAGING creators to use A.I. I was dumbfounded but then realized, oh right, they just put out an A.I. and NEED people to use it to justify development costs and all those fancy company perks.

Bye-bye Adsense and bye-by Internet.

Out of curiosity, my Impression RPM so far this year is an average of around $2.10, just wondering of that's comparable with most of you, I'm just using In-Page ads and Anchor.

If you are willing to share your avg for 2024, thanks, if not, all good, I respect that as well.

AI is poison for ranking having the right mix AI and natural content is complex
AI is spam .
New spam update has started 2 days ago …

Adsense used to be my main income, now it is just a little extra money at the end of the month, with "little" being an overstatement.

Google has done most of us in, and I believe they won't stop at this, they will eventually kill off most publishers with medium to smaller websites.

Too many „ publishers“ has killed publishers. Not the big will remain but the good one.
Same will apply to „ influencers „ of naive influenced.
Consider Adsense as a partnership not an ownership . If the partner is not offering what you wish, opt for separation.
A problem of a generation that thinks it can feed a family simply by using a phone from the beach.
Time to wake up and work hard.
Adsense remains the best monetisation program if you have a useful content.

For better or worse, a new month is in the horizon, let's hope it's for he better.

Good luck everyone.
