Has anyone else been getting really atrocious CPC on AdSense recently? It's been more than a month since I've had a click worth more than a dollar. Today, I've had three clicks so far and I'm not up to 50 cents in earnings!

Mine has gone really low for the past week or so. Today was the first day that the clicks went back up.

My CPC has been well below a dollar for a few months. I'm not even seeing $0.25.

Yeah mine have been the same for the past week or two…wondering if it has anything to do with the click bombing… I really dont have much of a clue as to how they price their ads etc., but my clicks are way up and my revenue is way down as of late.

I have an average of $0.15 for April but just started in March so I don't know what the usual is supposed to be?

Pauline, traditionally I was getting clicks in the 50 cents to a dollar range, but Therese days almost all of my clicks are in the sub- 10 cent range.

Mine are at that same level. I used to get clicks in the $1 – $3 range.

I also think it has something to do with everyone getting clickbombed. I actually just took my ads down to try to wait it out while I find a better plug in to prevent future click bombs.

Yeah, me too – I am getting more revenue from impressions than clicks – up to several hundred views, with 1-2 clicks (worth pennies) I do remember getting clicks in the several dollar range when the site first went up.

You should probably hide these numbers – it's against the Google TOS to share your CTR.

Thanks I'm trying to edit it now.
But why would my rate recalculate down (same number of clicks, a few more page views) and they decide to lower the payout rate?
Makes no sense to me?

As you've noticed, clicks aren't created equally – sometimes they are worth a bit more, sometimes a bit less. Also, oyu might be a victim of click-bombing. If Google determines your clicks aren't valid, they will not pay out for those clicks – so if only 1 of 10 clicks is valid, to use a random number, it'll make your CPC less.
Best thing to do it try to prevent those clicks – authorize only your site, screen CPC ads from people who might be unsavory, etc.

That is true. I have already authorized ads to display on only my sites. That said, I have a tough time believing I'm being clickbombed when I only average 2-3 clicks per day and make 10 cents.

I've noticed the same sort of decline in revenue. I had $40 in January and $15 in March with similar number of clicks.
