Google paying less!

[Zeeble]

Google suddenly went from paying 30-50 cents per webmaster related click, to less than 5!! Is anybody else experiencing this?

My PPC rate just took another dive...


On an unrelated note, does anyone know the contact number for Google adsense? There was a thread about, but I can't find it.

Look's like the situation has worsened - today I got a $0.01 click

My average click from Google Adsense is around $1-2, now it is only at 5-8 cents a click.

Damn, that just sucks. I wanted to switch over to my yahoo ads, but when I sort through the categories, there is no section for games. Kind of pointless having games if they aren't related to the content.

My ads has dropped from 1 dollar plus to only 30cents...

$0.30 from Google is high for me LOL. Never mind, I've switched over to Chitika - pays 1.5x to 10x better (see sig).

Google does seem to be paying less for the same ads being served. It could mean that less advertisers are using Google publisher content when signing up for Adwords (Thanks, fraud.), or it could just be that the rush to Yahoo has taken some $ to greener pastures (All US publishers in YPN, < Fraud).

Personally, I think it's mostly because of Google's contextual ad-serving system. For companies like Chitika where you can specify you keywords and have a fixed 60% payout, the earnings are more predictable.

There’s some solid evidence that google has started “smart-pricing” MFA (made for adsense) sites not by banning but rather by lowering the payouts to these perceived MFA sites.
