AdSense Changes

[Dealster]

I'm curious if anyone else has noticed any significant change in their clickthrough rates since their new keyword model has been put into place?

no, but today I got 7 clicks and made $0.03 total... - how the hell does that work?

I just started using them a couple of months ago and I had a solid 5% clickthrough rate on a 7 good websites totaling about 600 impressions/day. Today they announced this new keyword system and right now with 456 impressions I'm at .9%. The lowest rate I have had to date was 1.9%. I hope this is just a fluke.

Remember that it has to do with relevance of your site topic and the advertisers for that category. But, I'm sure everyone remembers already

However, I haven't seen much change with my sites... I consistently see conversions anywhere from **Edited due to complaint** on my sites. Since the change, I've had roughly the same.

The prices paid seem to be in the same ballpark too, but then again, my sites content is specifically designed to be highly relevant to the ads I want shown.

The one thing that puzzles me is with the new channels. I am tracking all of my sites through channels and when I add up the revenue from all of my channels, it is always a small portion of my earnings for the day. :-/

For instance, on Easter Sunday (sucked for traffic), I have a total channel revenue of **Edited due to complaint**, but I was paid **Edited due to complaints**... go figure??

So, the channels still do not give 100% idea, but they are a HUGE plus because it still gives an idea of individual site CTR. I almost sold one of my sites for a couple of hundred because I swore it wasn't making anything. Now with channels, I'm realizing that it makes about $100/month and is worth more than what I would've settled for previously.

anyways... my 2cents

Hate to be a broken record, but Google TOS says you aren't allowed to discuss stats, earnings, etc.

No changes for my sites yet. I guess we have to wait a few more days..

Didn't think about it... are you hall monitor?

No, you should see something after 2 days -3 days max.

Your code must be off --maybe your web publishing program re-formatted it and broke it?

If you still have troubles, you should contact the big G. They have excellent publisher support people working up there.
