my CPM is dropping

[nezter]

my CPM on adsense is dropping little by little

I know it must be because of people who come back to the site, but at the same time I send quite a lot of new traffic to it everyday.

I don't see anything higher than $3.00 anymore but it's going lower than that as well.

This is on 25k+ hits

Mine has been dropping quite a bit lately as well (both cpm and ctr) on all my msypace sites. I seem to be getting more traffic, using more bandwidth but making less lately lol.

I hope it is a fluke and not some kind of trend...

[Cyclops]

I see the same trend.

[Drew]

I dont :)

Both eCPM and CTR are increasing....

[money_train]

i guess a fresh supply of new traffic can keep up the earning.
returning traffic will bring down both CTR and ecpm.

[Drew]

possibly, The other thing that I recently changed is the number of ads I display, I removed the google ads on the index page and replaced them with CPA ads....my CTR/eCPM on AdSense INCREASED and I've made more with CPA ads as well.

I expected a decrease but I got the opposite.

[LinkPromo]

New traffic is the key... otherwise users get trained to avoid the ads.

[chriscoop]

Mr Greek which company you use for your CPA ads ?

[Drew]

Azoogle & Maxbounty

your gross revenue has increased with this change?
if that is true and this continues over time than we have a good adsense alternative.

adsense is terrible with ecpm for myspace sites. i see terrible rates as low as 3 cents per click. i thought of blocking some sites from having their adds but havent figured out a way how to tell who is paying 5 cents per click :(

[alexisthemovie]

you cant do anything about it if your account is smartpriced.

Yes, I wouldn't consider completely replacing AdSense with CPA stuff, but I am now considering replacing my entire CPM inventory with CPA stuff for a month to see how it goes.

I need to do some work to make it happen across my entire network of sites, but it might just pay off really nicely. If it works like I hope and I get about a $10 eCPM then I'll be laughing (around 5 million page impressions across the entire network)

[Fishfinger]

Maybe it is the way to go...

My main MSRS site is now averaging under $1 ecpm on google. I more than doubled the traffic in the past two week, almost doubled the clicks and I am earning the same....10% more clicks, 10% less EPC.... 20% more clicks, 20% less EPC ...etc.

It is like they decided to pay out a set fee.

[Drew]

AdSense eCPM on my MSRS sites averages around $3 eCPM, but I figure I can get around $10 eCPM in place of the average eCPM of .35 cents for CPM banners.

Even if I make a killing with CPA doing this, I won't remove AdSense from all of my sites, I like to have multiple streams in case one craps out.

[money_train]

what cpa network are you using mr geek.
i am an affilate with hydra network for some time but never had a site that could have used that kind of advertisment till now.
my current traffic is about 1k and i am making 10$ on my adsense for now.
3$ ecpm on impressions.

[alexisthemovie]

i use cj and azoogle and they are both good.

[Drew]

As I said earlier, Azoogle and Maxbounty, well their the ones I currently use but I a member of others now I think about it.

[Connections]

eCPM for me has really been dropping over the last few days, I might throw in a few new things to the site soon :D to boost it up.

change ad colours aswell :D

[Ted Hat]

The only way your gona make $$$$$$$ with myspace resource site and contextual adverts is if you have a **** load of visitors. And I mean a **** load.

If you get 100K uniques a day and 500K pageviews then you can get a 2% crt and .03 EPC and make $300 a day with Adsense.

But you can make money other ways as well.

[Drew]

ted: I can't say I agree with your numbers, based on my experiences 500k should make at least $500 with adsense, adding CPA/CPM stuff and you make way more.

Of course if you have a crappy site layout and only get a 2% CTR then sure you'll make less. (I average 5-7% CTR with an eCPC almost double yours)
