Your adsense earnings affected also?
It is already mid October and from what I have observed is that my adsense earnings are down compared to last month. As you can see from the screenshot below, my half month earnings are only $259.96 and if this trend continues then I will only receive around $510 at the end of the month. This is a far cry from the $612 that I made last month.
I know that this is still good for a beginner but I am hoping to reach my goal of $750 mark for the month of October. 
I just hope this is only a temporary thing and not the dreaded ’smart pricing’. I have tried filtering out FMA, but then google email me telling me that:
“You may be filtering ads that monetise well on your site.”
So, I un-filter some of the ads. The result? Still the same. Do you have any ideas to sort this out?
Some of the more prominent bloggers that I usually visit everyday also mentioned about this:
So how is your adsense earnings up to this day?

I think the adsense earnings droping mainly due to the PageRank as mentioned in Sabahan.com
what do you think?

Google has been terrorising the Internet recently. Luckily I am out of their clutches to worry about all these…

this tells you nothing.. how about the CTR and the ammount of Clicks? the $ per click?
That will tell you what you need to know

weird though.. I can’t see any adsense from this site.. Is it from other sites?
October 16th, 2007 at 12:54 pm
@Tim - maybe that is a possibility, including the paid links and paid post..
@Wayne - yeah, I just remember you are banned from google, so no worry!
@Chris - The CTR and clicks are the same for me! but the ecpm dropped tremendously though..how bout you?
@Peter - Yes, adsense are from my other blogs, this one only use advertlets and widgetbucks.
October 16th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
for me it’s fairly steady. I guess the $ per click you get has dropped? (the ecpm could drop because of poor CTR as well
)
Think you’ve been ’smartpriced’ http://www.problogger.net/archives/2005/04/19/adsense-smart-pricing-explained/

Oh no, that’s my worst nightmare ! Smart pricing!
October 16th, 2007 at 4:54 pm
it’s everybody’s nightmare
..
btw; how are you doing on tnx?
October 16th, 2007 at 5:16 pm
Higher page rank = higher earnings each ad click?
October 16th, 2007 at 8:46 pm
@david no, PR doesn’t affect the clickvalue you receive from AdSense..
October 16th, 2007 at 11:09 pm
I agree with Chris, PR did not affect clickvalue of ads.
@Chris - I got around 300 links activated on tnx but I don’t think i am getting any traffic from that sites of PR0..maybe need to choose more higher rank links..

@rajawang
are you also selling links?
October 18th, 2007 at 1:55 am
@rajawang, have u tried to compare between chitika and ttzmedia ?
hows the performance ?
October 18th, 2007 at 4:40 am
don’t worry laa, why care about google? Do a lot of PPP or selling TLA would be enough. I’m already get fedup with cruel adsense and don’t want to monetize it at all. Google is hiding their money because they know that we can suck all the money from them.

BigG really influenced the Internet a lot. Some get downgraded in PR, this does affect the PP postie opp payout. I cannot complain much coz I do PP too, quite a lot but so far BigG still spare me the downgrading of PR. I hope it stays like that.
On the adsense.. i honestly worry all the lower income you all getting.. but somehow, mine is going up ever since i change to new theme. I hope it stays there too. I should follow like you all opening many blogs.. as gaman said, don’t put in one basket only. if making $1 a day in adsense but same on all 30 blogs.. shud be oklah.. for a medium earner like me…but that just a plan.. i shud i shud. Thanks for this info rajawang

I think it just depends on the site you’re running AdSense on; I’ve got a site on which it’s doing great. And with that I mean the $ / click is good, not that the CTR is really high or something..

Hey, can we visit your other sites to learn from you? There’s no link here to indicate where to go. Can you help?
October 21st, 2007 at 11:47 am

[…] thing is that I almost reach my target of $1000 before the end of the year! My earlier fear of the google adsense earnings being a little low ease up when the figure starts to pick up during the middle of […]

Not much change in my adsense income…maybe I shud maintain many blog like you? But the problem is I don’t have enough time to maintain it later….

The drop could be due to page ranking smacks or smart pricing.
