I definitely agree with those numbers. Revenue has definitely been down lately and I've had to resort to using other marketing tactics. It's actually been half good, half bad, as it's helped me diversify our earnings.

 

I agree. However, it's funny, yesterday I had my best day ever. They must be feeling the pressure.

 

My earnings went slightly up in January, but very much down in february. I guess some niches react slowly to economic changes.

 

Even if I used the "Competitive Ad Filter" (How about changing the innocent sounding name for that tool?) and spent a hour a day weeding out the garbage, misleading, ridiculous webpages which Google chooses to allow to pose as legitimate websites, they would continue to show up anew each morning like the Viagra Salesman who leave their unwanted calling card in my Email folder each morning.

My conclusion: Google Adsense is SPAM.
