Are Your Adsense Earnings Down?

The Adsense Consultant

Are your Google Adsense earnings down? Then don't worry because you are not alone! I have seen many board postings from Adsense publishers who have posted about how their adsense earnings have gone way down! Even my own adsense earnings have decreased!

But instead of whine and complain though I decided to do something about it!

There are 2 ways to increase your Adsense earnings:

• The first way is to increase the traffic to your Adsense site. Get those traffic numbers up! Install one of the free stat tracking widgets so that you can see where your traffic is coming from! I have them on my own sites and I recommend them to my clients as well. These traffic widgets will show you where your traffic is coming from. For example with my own tracking stats I can tell that about half of my traffic comes from the search engines and the other half comes from traffic that came to my sites from places that I have posted to.
  
  
• The 2nd way to increase your Google Adsense earnings is to incorporate more higher-paying keyword content into your site. There are a few high-paying keywords that pay as much as $100 per click! I have a high-paying keyword list of my own and it is this exact same list that I am using now to incorporate more high-paying keyword content into my (and my clients') sites.
  
  You can either use these high-paying keywords as the basis of your site or you could take the higher-paying keywords and incorporate into a site that you have already made.
  
  I also provide a service where I take a client's site and find the most popular search terms that are related to the client's site. With this list of the most popular search terms I incorporate these popular search terms into the client's site (or I provide them with the list of popular search terms and they incorporate those popular search terms into their own sites themselves). I am also doing this for my own sites as well.
  
  You would probably be surprised and amazed at the number of people who are searching for the most simplest of terms and phrases. For example did you know that over 2 Million people typed in the word "adsense" in a search engine last month? That is a lot of people! Now since my blog is about being an Adsense Consultant I want to get as much of that traffic coming to this blog as possible! In fact I have noted here and on my The SEO Consultant Blog about how important it is to rank high in the search engines if you want more traffic to come to your site or blog. More traffic to your site (that has Adsense on it) means the more potential clicks you will get on your Adsense ads!
  
  Another search term that has had over 1 Million searches is the term "making money online". It seems that a lot of people are interested in being able to make money online. Now remember that these are search terms that are associated with my blog and since Adsense is one of the great ways to earn money online visitors may come to my site seeking more information about how to make money online since I mention how the Google Adsense program is a great way to be able to make money online.

So if your Adsense earnings are down Do something about it!

How Is My High-Paying Keyword List Working?

I posted this on my original Adsense Consultant blog:



It seems that there has been a little cosmetic change to your Adsense account!

It seems that Adsense has changed the way your Adsense account page looks. According to their blog they assure us Adsense publishers that these changes do not affect the way our Adsense earnings are calculated.

Did you already see this? If not, take a look at the screen shot below:



As you can see the top portion of the screenshot shows the way your Adsense page looked BEFORE Adsense changed it. The top of your adsense page used to say "Today's Earnings" but NOW it says "Today's ESTIMATED Earnings!

According to Adsense this change that they have made will not affect your Adsense earnings.

Basically what they are saying is that your adsense earnings aren't officially tabulated until your adsense earning numbers are verified (which usually occurs around the 10th of the next month before they send your Adsense payment).

I can honestly say that I have seen this happen on my own Adsense account where at the end of the month there will be an Adsense earning total but by the 10th of the next month that Adsense earning number has changed - in my case it changed to a higher number - thank goodness.

A more detailed explanation of this can be found on the official Adsense blog by clicking here.



But after posting this on my blog I noticed that I also got a screenshot of my Adsense earnings for earlier this afternoon so I decided to include it on this blog as well.

Mind you this is how much I have earned so far today!

I have been browsing some of the adsense-related message forums and have taken notice about how a lot of people have been posting about how bad their adsense earnings are getting. Some of the adsense publishers are experiencing very low adsense earnings so far this month (and some adsense publishers have even said that their adsense earning numbers were lower even before this month of December 2009!)

Going from my past blog posts I can honestly say that my adsense earning revenue has increase and I'm accounting that to the fact that I am using more higher-paying keyword content on my sites. Another thing that I'm doing is that I have made a list of the most used traffic search terms for my particular sites and I am also using those search terms in my sites so that will help increase the traffic to my sites.

Increased traffic to one's adsense site means more potential clicks on the Adsense ads which means more potential Adsense earnings!

I understand getting frustrated and / or angry about one's Adsense earnings being so low but if you want your Adsense earnings to increase you're going to have to do something about it - which is what I am doing for myself and for my clients as well!

"You Are Scheduled To Be Sent A Payment......" - NOT!

I don't like the signs here!

Usually I should be seeing the "You are scheduled to be sent a payment......." line by now on my adsense account and I am not seeing it yet!

It could be that I'm just a tad over anxious though. I looked for similar posts that I have made concerning this issue and have seen that there had been a previous month when I received the message on the 21st of the month and didn't get my "payment in progress" message until the 26th of the month!

Someone has also sent me the comment that they received their "PIP" as early as last week! which I find very hard to believe - but hey anything is possible - right?

I Made It Past The Halfway Mark!

As you can see, I have made it just past the halfway mark - meaning that I earned just a little over $50 so far this month!

I'm a little disappointed with the numbers I'm getting but that's MY and not Adsense's - LOL!

I have been checking my adsense numbers all day and was just UNDER the %50 halfway mark. But just a few minutes ago I noticed a surge and now I'm just slightly past the halfway mark.

That means that I still have the rest of the month to earn at least the $100 minimum needed to get an Adsense payment next month.

I'm Currently At The Halfway Mark!

As you can see from this picture I am currently a little past the half-way mark of $50!

This is a good sign because as I mentioned before my adsense numbers were getting quite low but now they are starting to pick up.

This means that I still have at least the rest of the month to be able to earn at least the $100 minimum (meaning I need to generate $48 more) in order to get an adsense payment next month.

Hi can u please help me out?
The adsense ads have stoped appearing suddenly for 2 days....it shows the solid color or pub serv ads ...though i had been seeing ads for 1 year...my other site is doin well ,wat might be the problem with this blogspot site? reply......xxxx@gmail.com....
please...huge loss for me huh?

First of all I don't think that it is a good idea for you to leave your email address where everyone can see it. I don't want you to be an unfortunate "spam" victim.

It could be just a simple matter of the Adsense spiders not finding any content on your site that is appealing to advertisers and that is why the public service ads are appearing.

In any event it is just too hard to be able to help you any further without even knowing what your site looks like or where it is located.

Adsense's New Message Forum - A Big Thumbs Down!

at least that's just my own personal opinion!

Adsense has a new forum and you can access it by clicking here.

Maybe I just don't like change! I just accessed these new forums today and so it may take me some time to get used to them but for right now I really don't like them at all.

Well I FINALLY Made It To $100! - Barely!

As you can see from the screenshot above, I have made it to the $100 point - plus a little bit more!

I have to tell you that my numbers are down about 40%. But I have been thinking about it and I realize that I am grateful for the adsense money that I am getting! I was thinking about that when I saw on someone else's blog that there have been people who have had adsense for over a year and still haven't earned enough to get an adsense payment yet!

Although this is one of my lowest earnings months since I first started using Adsense I do still have the rest of the month to go to earn more adsense money!

There's Been A Payment In Progress Posting!

Personally I was quite surprised!

Someone in the UK has already posted that they have received the "PIP" line on their adsense account!

Of course it is also mentioned that this person is receiving their adsense payment by regular check.

It takes a lot longer to actually get your adsense payment if you are getting it by check as opposed to if you were getting it via bank transfer.

Last year at this time there was a big discussion going on about how Adsense had to get the payments out before the end of the year for tax reasons AND so that the people that worked at Adsense could take off for the holiday season. Mind you this was rumor and speculation!

Another factor to consider is that with the overseas publishers it takes them a lot longer to receive their adsense payment(s) and it is assumed that they will be receiving their "payment in progress" lines first. But again this is only speculation because the first reported "PIP" sighting has been from the UK (in check form)!

Bummer that the weekend is coming up (as far as the payment process goes). We should be hearing more about any further "payment in progress" sightings for this month - December 2008.



12/20/08 Latest Update(s)

Well it seems that someone in India has posted that they have gotten their "PIP" line!

So far it seems that those who are getting their adsense payments by regular check are seeing their "payment in progress" lines first!

What Was My Earliest Adsense Payment Date?

I was just checking my adsense payment information to compare months regarding when I got my adsense payment. It turns out that I was right all along when I mentioned about my getting my adsense payment before Christmas! However this was back in 2006 when for the month of November 2006, I got my adsense payment on December 20th! This was definitely enough time for me to do some Christmas shopping!

For November 2007, I got my adsense payment on December 24th BUT since the next day was Christmas, I didn't actually get the payment until the next business day!

Will we get our adsense payments before December 25th of this year?

Honestly speaking - who knows!
