There you go...

How is your July 2012 coming along...

I already earned today what I earned the first 3 days of June and it is only 2 pm here.

ICU...They're wheeling me to the morgue!

I've decided on some drastic internal surgery for my main trade widget directory site but not my Coppermine gallery. I'm going to spend all this week going through every page from top to bottom checking titles, metas, on-page etc since it's quite a while since they were last done and they're not how I would construct pages these days.

Whether this will have an effect I have no idea, if it does then fine, if not then Google really need to start feeling their bumps and try to find their quality button otherwise black hat here I come!

Is there another alternative but to join them since they're the ones constantly beating me!

Killing it. Even with a drought on. Maybe especially with a drought on.

June was a good month, but 1st of July was a sunny Sunday + the final of the World Cup @ Soccer => BAD July start!
 7:32 am on Jul 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
A good start to July, though I've long learnt a good start to a month isn't an indication of what will follow.
 11:04 am on Jul 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
+ the final of the World Cup @ Soccer => BAD July start!

That'll be an extra bad day for you since it's not until 13th July 2014!

Euro 2012 ring a bell? :-)

I have already earned for July as of 12:27 pm what I earned the first 5 days of June. AND I have NO clue why.

Here is one thing I have been experimenting with.

When I see a drop in daily revenue but clicks are up/CPC exceptionally low.... I look at Allow & block ads > Shown Ads > filtered "New Ads 1 day"...

I block anything in my opinion that would be a lower paying advertiser or an ad that is completely unrelated to what my niche topics are.

I would like if Google could ad one more filter item. "New Ads 1 day" and "url" so I can see what is new on various sites.

June finished strong and July is off to a good start. Hoping this trend continues for me as I've seen an increase on Page RPM each month this year.
 7:33 pm on Jul 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
Yesterday ended well (for a Sunday) and today has a strong start, but clicks haven't changed in hours.
 7:53 pm on Jul 2, 2012 (gmt 0) 8:50 pm on Jul 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
Aside from "stuck", Now for some odd reason my "adsense for content" and "hosted adsense for content" impressions are climbing at the EXACT same rate? 12 added to both, refresh, 17 added to both, refresh 9 added to both. Very odd.

Yesterday closed as one of the lowest click counts and earnings of all time! Joining the ranks of my first week of AdSense in 2004. A near total collapse. WTF?
 11:28 am on Jul 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
Above average start of July - good traffic, CTR and CPC.
 11:34 am on Jul 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
"Disappointing start to July after a disappointing June".

Strange to hear the BBC weather man describing my adsense earnings. Although as with the weather, "disappointing" is an understatement.

 3:33 pm on Jul 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
Above average for me. I have already earned for July what I earned in the first 8 days in June.
 3:47 pm on Jul 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
Started well, but 2nd July not fantastic, and today stats seem to be down on everything except impressions, which are normal.
 3:54 pm on Jul 3, 2012 (gmt 0) 4:10 pm on Jul 3, 2012 (gmt 0) 4:11 pm on Jul 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
Very bad start, I'm off by 20% or more.
 4:29 pm on Jul 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
Pretty bad in general, same as former May and June. I create more pages, but I don't get more money, I get less so considering other job over here.
 5:32 pm on Jul 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
I'm sorry I'm hogging all the AdSense, but you can have it back on July 5th.

Here we go, the traditional European holiday season starts now!
 10:39 am on Aug 1, 2012 (gmt 0) 12:53 pm on Aug 1, 2012 (gmt 0)
@HuskyPup - R u kidding, right?

Europe was empty in July! August it will be also empty and from September we will discover that the economic crysis is booming!

It will be fun...

eCPM for 1st of August seems very low for me... :9

 1:26 pm on Aug 1, 2012 (gmt 0)
Yesterday earnings closed at 30% of average, making July 2012 my lowest AdSense month since starting the program in 2004. Here's to hoping August will be better. :-|
 2:17 pm on Aug 1, 2012 (gmt 0)
@Mentat

My UK earnings alone were actually 151% July v June!

It really does depend just how much traffic one gets from France/Italy/Spain/etc as to whether it makes a big difference or not and also whether those visitors EVER click...I have some countries that seem to be totally averse to clicking:-(

 2:52 pm on Aug 1, 2012 (gmt 0)
1st August looks promising thus far.
 2:53 pm on Aug 1, 2012 (gmt 0)
August is already starting out well, specially compared to last year. Which is great because I'm pretty sure I'm going to need it to pay the electric bill. Judging from the way this year is going, it should average 150F all month.
 3:17 pm on Aug 1, 2012 (gmt 0)
My CTR is high, but CPC and RPM are at an all time low. Not promising here yet.
 3:34 pm on Aug 1, 2012 (gmt 0)
Slightly warm eh netmeg? If you get too frazzled you'll look like a nutmeg:-)
 3:52 pm on Aug 1, 2012 (gmt 0) 10:38 pm on Aug 1, 2012 (gmt 0)
So far one of my worst Wednesdays with EPC down 25% and the USA seemingly hardly clicking at all.

Have I missed something?

 11:55 pm on Aug 1, 2012 (gmt 0)
Surprisingly good day, considering.
 1:00 am on Aug 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
D E A D, but what else is new?
 1:22 am on Aug 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
Look at it this way, JCKLine, It is the best day of the month so far. :)
 7:28 am on Aug 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
Reasonable start to August. Low on clicks, but high on EPC.
 8:37 am on Aug 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
I've never seen this before...Tunisia my second biggest earner and with a 40 cent EPC average and ALL from a blog not updated since January 2010!

I wonder what kind of ads they were seeing, English, Arabic or French? I assume English but what the heck do I know.

 11:58 am on Aug 2, 2012 (gmt 0)

Strange start of August with NonSense. The earnings from 1 August are still increasing while it's already 2 august for at least 14 hrs.

Maybe July revenue is also silently increasing? Did they find a few bag of unprocessed clicks in the corner of the Adsense engine room?

 12:13 pm on Aug 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
The earnings from 1 August are still increasing while it's already 2 august for at least 14 hrs.

Not at The Plex, it's only 4 hours into the 2nd August as I write this, they're 9 hours behind UK time.

 1:55 pm on Aug 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
Where the F are my earnings!

Look at it this way, JCKLine, It is the best day of the month so far. :)

I almost chuckled, but the "best day of the month" was dire indeed. I hope today turns out better than it's looking so far.

 2:10 pm on Aug 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
Not at The Plex, it's only 4 hours into the 2nd August as I write this, they're 9 hours behind UK time. They have UK time on other planets now? :) Worst July ever - hopefully August will be better. So far, it is up slightly.

Regards...jmcc

Definite page rank update going on.
 6:30 pm on Aug 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
It would seem so, though only my new sites and my personal site changed any (re PR) I don't even have a tool that displays that anymore.

Low CTR today but good EPC is helping make up for it.

 8:52 pm on Aug 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
Soooooooo Sloooooooooow today. Yawn.
 10:22 pm on Aug 2, 2012 (gmt 0) 11:04 pm on Aug 2, 2012 (gmt 0) 2:55 am on Aug 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
Yup. Looking pretty bleak today.
 5:35 am on Aug 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
Yesterday and today? I'm gunna shut up lest I jinx myself as per usual and morph into "Benny the Mock"
 7:37 am on Aug 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
Increase in clicks and impressions but EPC dropped. It's always one or the other. All in all, a good start to August.
 10:01 am on Aug 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
The UK for me is flat on its back, less than 50% of usual page views etc, with earnings at almost nothing, most other countries seem about normal for this time of year.
 11:09 am on Aug 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
Definitely some sort of Adsense strategy change for me. For the pats few weeks I've been getting low numbers of clicks with EPC higher than I've ever had before. Now I'm back to getting much more clicks, but with a reduced EPC. The net result is pretty much the same, so it doesn't matter much to me either way.

Have at it!

Slow start to what should be a killer month for me.

 2:56 pm on Jun 1, 2012 (gmt 0)
June '11 was my worst month of the year - lowest traffic, second-lowest CTR and lowest earnings. If I can avoid another Panda-mauling (knock on wood) this year should show a BIG improvement. We'll see in 29 days.
 4:05 pm on Jun 1, 2012 (gmt 0)
Nice ending to May, but not a good start to June. Time will tell of course.
In June 2011, I started to have month on month increases, up until March 2012. If I can match June 2011, I'll be happy.

Started slow today, now looking "average", which is much lower than "average" was 2 years ago.
 10:22 pm on Jun 1, 2012 (gmt 0)
Deader than a rotting corpse here
 5:39 am on Jun 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
looking good from where i'm staying :)
 6:33 am on Jun 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
Worst number of clicks for a long, long time, but highest EPC too, so in the end not a bad day.
 8:40 am on Jun 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
Highest may ever last month and now on pace for highest june ever after one day. *Knocks on wood*
 3:42 pm on Jun 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
Hey, this got pinned.

Good start to the month. I was doing some comparisons to last year; CTR is actually not much lower but EPC is like three times higher. What's up with these advertisers?

 4:07 pm on Jun 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
Couldn't find this thread for a moment, then saw it was pinned at the top. :)

Clicks still not fantastic, but EPC is through the roof. Never been so high - no idea why, but no complaints from me.

 4:19 pm on Jun 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
After May doing minus 30%, June starts of quite good. (same as May did)

The past 2 weeks showed quite a recovery, with almost like normal patterns. What the heck happend in May? Complete & utterly clueless...

 4:33 pm on Jun 2, 2012 (gmt 0) 10:06 pm on Jun 2, 2012 (gmt 0)
Average start for me, so I can't complain.
 10:20 pm on Jun 2, 2012 (gmt 0) 2:44 am on Jun 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
sounds like the MFA sites are doing good, after Penguin that figures.
 7:40 am on Jun 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
Five decent consecutive days in a row - I'm starting to panic - this isn't normal.
 7:57 am on Jun 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
Click count and earnings still unchanged. Definitely not normal.
 1:11 pm on Jun 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
Mobile doing really well right now too.
 5:48 pm on Jun 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
Today looks like it will end my good run.
 6:55 pm on Jun 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
Again things seem average. I can't complain...yet.
 7:00 pm on Jun 3, 2012 (gmt 0)
First two days were average (the new average) today CTR dropped by half for some reason. Same traffic, same content, half as many clicks, and of course half the income.

Things are looking fairly average here. I've come to the conclusion that some clicks are processed more slowly than others, thus accounting for some wild day-to-day fluctuations. My overall revenues month-by-month have been quite stable.
 3:07 am on Jun 4, 2012 (gmt 0)
Yup, reporting is all over the place these days.
 6:25 am on Jun 4, 2012 (gmt 0) 7:01 am on Jun 4, 2012 (gmt 0)
Terrible day - low clicks, EPC plummeted, and low CTR.

Monday is a non Working day on some ortodox countries
