Adsense Giving it to me hard?

**xsnoboard** · Nov 29th, 2007, 1:47 pm

Messed up the title I guess I cant edit it...

Was suppose to be Adsense Giving it to me without lube? but then thought it was too vulgar so I was trying to change it to Adsense Giving it to me hard?

I run adsense on my forums which doesnt get much traffic but gets some good page impressions

Also another site that I don't have stats for along with adsense sharing on this forum (which im sure doesnt account for much)

But how am I only getting 118 impressions? My hits per unique visitor are decent enough that it should generate more than 118 page impressions... Thats BS

Isn't the Adsense payout crappy for everyone lately?

**xsnoboard** · Nov 29th, 2007, 7:35 pm

yeah i was doing decent 2 months ago... Then it dropped to crap...

I used to think it was just varying market conditions but got a little suspicious when my earnings per click would jump up or fall down at the start of a calendar month. Always the first of the month.

I'm now convinced that these changes are down to alterations made to the revenue share model.That's the one thing I hate about Adsense - the lack of transparency.

But since I can't do anything about it I'll shut up and be grateful for any loose change that big G throws my way

If only my sites were good enough for direct ad sales...
