Help! Dramatic Adsense Earnings Drop!

[Billy!]

Hi,

I need help and advice on adsense!

So far this month I have made $10.00

The same time last month I made $44

My Questions

1. Would there be any reason for this?

2. Am I doing anything wrong?

3. Do I need to put a txt file or something on my sites for google spiders?
4. Is it normal to make money i.e. so far today I have made 14 cents and no clicks?

5. Is it normal for you not to make any money in the early hours... example I go to bed at 10pm making say $4.20 and 8 hours later I still have $4.20

As far as I am aware, I have only on average no more than three google ads on any page. I know the rules pretty well.

6. I have accidently clicked on about 4 of my own google ads in the last few weeks due to my mouse playing up ... should I report this when it happens? I have heard stories of even when you report accidents like this, they will still ban you.

7. I also have 150 domains parked at one of my websites ... am I allowed to park or redirect domain names to my website? ... it is a domain name forum.

I have just got three new sites just running this month with adsense on them... that makes it a total of 4 sites (forums) I run.

It is so frustrating with adsense, one day you do well and then the next day you make zilch!

Last month was the best I ever did with adsense, in two years and now this month looks like it may be the worst for me on record.

Please help!

looks llike it is not a problem last me too made few dollars only but earlier i made more and the ctr was too low
but it depends uon visitors and the ad they clicked but not on us
you should continue your adsense and they do best for publishers or advertisers

Earnings are definitely not consistent. I can get 20 clicks one day on a website and then 0 the next day.

As for point 5. Yes, that's normal. When you go to bed so do 99% of the people. Just like earnings are less on certain days and more on others (Saturday nights are the worst).

My earnings dropped 1/8th my normal average/day last month. Seems the trend has snuck its way into my May earnings as well.

Do some keyword stuffing, unique content..

I also had similar problem.. earned only $80 in 8 months.. Then did some content optimization and now making $100/month

i think you should just wait a while. perhaps it's just a fluctuation?
