[...] First off, we know that specifically targeted, well thought out PPC campaigns often can jumpstart a new site or service. Secondly, we also agree that we have all used PPC and have had mixed results (especially when we are spending some else’s money). So, although PPC is important in the traditional SEO/SEM realm, (and despite Google’s ongoing and changing statements in support of them) CTR reports are revealing for dollars spent, this is not very efficient way to allocate IM budget dollars. It’s important to know that this should not surprise us. Many who specialize in PPC campaigns have been noticing this for some time, like Don Lim who wrote an spot on article on this back in November 2007 entitled Google AdSense losing its effectiveness?!

yeah hanneng..glad to know that your adsense revenue are going up..

the traffic for a few of my sites are more or less stabilised.. but the adsense earnings goes down drastically.. but at the same time, earnings for other programs went up multiple times..

lately i finished a webinar with joel christopher, the masterlistbuilder, and he was telling us how one of his associates who owned more than 10,000 domains name, decided to give up 3000+ domains names because it was no longer pulling the profits as it used to be.

this may be something that some of us may want to take note of.. especially if you are the newbies..

having 1000 unique visitors and waiting for them to click on my PPC ads at a conversion rate of say 3% CTR, i will rather have this 3% of 1000 unique visitors to buy a product that i am recommending and earn more affiliate commissions than PPCs program like adsense

for the past few weeks, my AdSense revenue gone up 50% .. so do other ads too.

Could be due to my aggressive promotions ..

Is there not any way to confirm that CTR change of trend was not because of webpage layout issue?

hi chee kui
i know placement of the adsense ads can affect your earnings. in fact, i made some changes to the placement about 18 months ago and it increased my earnings by as much as 300% each month.

however, lately, i have not changed any placements of the ads on my web sites and the same layout are not making me the same kind of earnings anymore, hence i wrote this blog spot to share my observations with others…

I think it’s maybe becos of the ads placement. Try to change the look and color. That should do the trick.

I agree that ad blindness are kicking in these last few months…But this could be also google has change the way ads can be click now….

Now adsense ads can only be click on the url and title rather that the whole ad.
