For those that use Adsense on their sites, has anyone noticed a significant or noticeable increase in their earnings since the increase in expense for advertisers.

My earnings have dropped. Looks like it will level out at a drop of between 10 and 20%.

The increased minimums are for Search - nothing to do with content (aka Adsense), so logically you would not expect Adsense revenues to increase - unless Adwords advertisers don't know what they're doing!

Revenue has dropped for me today. Could just be a normal drop and things will bounce back tomorrow, but probably linked to adwords customers dropping out from search and taking the content $ with them.

My bet would be that the dust will settle in a few days, ppc bids will find their level, and adsense revenues will return to 'normal'.

If increasing bids on search, advertisers might increase content bid simultaneously - quite easily done.

So could either increase altogther, if so is this being passed to adsense partners? or the flipside less advertisers & reduced income.

I personally don't believe there has ever been any real correlation between what Google receive for an ad and what they pay out for a click on that ad to adsense partners - I have the same adsense on the same sites for weeks on end, day by day there is a less than 10% change in the number of clicks yet there is a 200% range in the click value.

My pet theory is that Google pays the minimum it can get away with 90% of the time but the other 10% it dramatically ups the click value paid via adsense so that people stay loyal to adsense and do not put alternative ad media on their sites.

Income has dropped off for me over the past month. The ad's appearing in our busiest forums are no longer on context - most are for PHP and MySQL ad's.

I presume this has something to do with similar screw ups in their search engine results (like getting affiliate links as search results).

We're thinking of cutting back adsense and trying advertising banners (non-affiliate ones).

Nope, no noticeable change in AdSense revenues here.

yep.

best ever day yesterday. And thet day before too.

I'm creaming it... sorry!

Would be what I would expect, whether they have overall or not I don't know, as this would be an ideal counter from Google for adsense publishers to come forward & not crucify the Google Adwords changes .. by proclaiming increases in revenue & thus must be ads of a higher "quality score" i.e. that threshold where publishers "might" be swayed to favour Google.

Then again there might be no correlation at all.

This keyword is currently inactive for search. It will not trigger your ad for searches on Google or on Google's search network partners, although it may continue to trigger your ad on sites in the content network. You can make this keyword active for search by improving its quality rating or by raising your maximum cost-per-click bid. .

Don't forget, just because ads do not show on Google itself, they are still appearing on Adsense.

I know this is happening, because I can see one of my own adverts on an Adsense skyscraper on one of my own sites and it is not being shown on Google itself because I'm not increasing the bid!
