$30 Per Day Google Adsense Earnings Dropped Way Low to Below 5 Bucks a Day? You're not alone...

Graphic shows daily trading of Google since 2004; 2c x 2 1/4 inches; 96.3 mm x 57.2 mmLately I've been more frustrated over Google Adsense pay-per-click earnings -- which due to a number of reasons have dropped for me from a great high of over $30 per day to around maybe 5 bucks per day -- across plenty of sites.

(I know some folks would love to see at least $5 in their Google Adsense accounts each day -- so I ain't complaining... I'm just saying...)

So it's no surprise that the make-sure-you-click-on-the-link-and-not-the-whitespace-on-ads changes that the Big G made recently played into this fact.

GOOG stock is down, and I can't help but to think it's something else.

In the meantime, folks have bandied about the philosophy that any Google improvements will in turn improve the quality and therefore pay rates of Google Adsense ads.

I hope so -- but in the meantime, I'm making like other smart probloggers like Darren Rowse and John Chow have done and forgetting more about Google Adsense monetization, and focusing on private ad investors to make the real moola.

Its really worrying that this is happening. It has affected so many adsense users. Eventually everyone is just going to move to bidvertiser and CJ.

Wow, thats more than an 80% drop! While $5 in Adsense is good for me these days, I'm certainly going to keep my options open...

I would pass out if I had that much of a drop in my adsense earnings.

The problem is that Google is a great way to start monetizing a site. For people with little traffic, selling directly to advertisers isn't an option.

Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes.

The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes.
