Of all the startups/websites that use Google Adsense as their main revenue model (according to Bizak.com their earnings per visitor (EPV) is just $0.06. That's not what they earn per click but rather based on the number of visitors they have. In order to make $1,000/month they need over 16,000 monthly visitors - not an easy feat. Better to monetize with services ($1.67 EPV) and/or subscriptions ($1.02 EPV). Even with these poor earnings 22% of startups/websites rely on Adsense as their main revenue source. 17% services and 8% subscriptions.

[...] Two weeks ago I discussed falling AdSense earnings and if it was a trend that webmasters could expect to continue. I reported that while my impressions were up year over year, my click through rate (CTR) had dropped 40% and my page eCPM (how much you make for every thousand impressions) fell by 30%. I decided that I would look at why my January 2007 was so much better than January 2008 (in terms of CTR and eCPM, not overall earnings) and make a few tweaks to hopefully improve my AdSense income.

You know what irks me? How google can decide at any moment to remove clicks, pay very low amounts for clicks, and unfortunately for some, remove you completely.

That seems unethical and downright illegal. I have some new adsense sites with valuable and original content only to see a click at a decent dollar amount and then it’s gone in an hour or two.

They are obviously saying it is an invalid click, but how the hell do they know? I have articles pointing to these sites as well as good links, so it is BS they do this.

Come on Microsoft! Get Yahoo and make these arrogant google guys clean up their act.

People are just burned out on them, IMHO. In 2002 they were cool , new, ever so unobtrusive and well…. Google! But now.. add a little too much click fraud and google doesn’t appear to care about it, recession, less interest in things and everyone and their dog has google ads. We’ve OD’d!

I don’t think that it has lost its mojo, I think that too many people are using it. If I decide to get to the top of google and buy the words internet business I would appear higher than people like James Brausch & Terry Dean – guys who are really known for that business.

Once I own the words at a penny a click, someone else will pay 2 cents, then 3 4 and a dollar. We drive the cost per click up and don’t necessarily make back that cost.

Better to either work hard for a ral listing, or work hard with Google and understand that we are getting a smaller margin.
Or – wait until Google merges paid and natural listings without making the difference known to us. (stop, before I rat again).
