Theories about why the Google AdSense revenues are way down for publishers

If you build, maintain or promote web sites that derive part or all of their revenue from the Google AdSense program, you’ve surely seen a sharp decrease in your earnings, in the last months.

These are the main theories that are being discussed as to what may explain the drop…

  1. Google is getting greedy.
    • Unlikely because that would be a huge boost to spark new competition.
    • May be possible because Google keeps everything secret so it has to be considered plausible.
  2. The recession is hitting everybody.
    • Advertisers are being hit head-on and can’t spend as much on advertising.
    • People are buying less stuff or downgrading their purchases which means Google AdSense will see less action or at the very least, much less bidding action, every for well performing keywords.
  3. Less people go online.
    • The official numbers show a rise in the total internet user count but it seems to be stalling in the US as the economy forces people to cancel their internet membership to cover for their rent — yikes.
    • Since people need to work longer hours, during a recession, there’s less time left to “be online”, period.
  4. More people are wasting time playing video games.
    • Xbox, PS3 and Wii players aren’t generating squat for web publishers when they’re glued to their TV screen, in the living room — immersive gaming takes a huge toll on all other leisure time, including the time spend online.
  5. Spam-free surfing may include AdSense-free surfing, too.
    • The truth of the matter is that when there are no ads on a web page, it loads slightly faster and there’s no third party accumulating data on your online behavior — for some people, that’s important.
    • As long as people keep blocking web publishers’ ads (and their revenue), they’re basically stealing content but they probably don’t realize it.
  6. Google acquired a bad apple.
    • For countless AdSense experts, the DoubleClick acquisition was a very bad one, for AdSense web publishers.
    • DoubleClick is a low-level, low-paying, CPM-based ad clearinghouse for large advertisers and as such, poisonning the luxurious inventory of pay-per-click ads with such dirt-cheap ads that have tanked all publishers’ revenue stream.

It might even be something else but it’s undeniable, if you’re a web publisher trying to make money with AdSense, it’s now very hard.

If you’re so bold as to try to make a living off AdSense, it’s not downright IMPOSSIBLE unless you can make ends meet on a few hundred dollars a month, at most (if you live in your parents’ basement, it can happen but hey, not everybody enjoys such privileges).

Perhaps you have another idea why web publishers with better, more heavily circulated sites are seeing their revenue plunge in a seemingly bottomless abyss so you’re welcome to share your thoughts with us all.

In the meantime, if you want to make real money, please sign-up to get your own domain name and web hosting reselling store, online. It’s exactly what hundreds of millions of people are looking for and you’ll be the one collecting the moolah for years on end as people buy these services (or products) and keep renewing the forever.

Keep trying with AdSense if you feel like it but be aware that it’s just kiddie pocket change compared to operating your own online domain name reselling business (not to mention you’ll get your own domains at the “buy rate” — wow!) so don’t wait and join the major leagues!

Will Google AdSense bounce back?

If you’ve been making LESS money with Google AdSense, lately, it seems you’re not alone.

Savvy web publishers from across the web, in the US and across the world, have been feeling the heat since around February of 2009, after Google had integrated DoubleClicks’ inventory of “CPM” ads (which aren’t welcome with PPC publishers).

Nobody knows much about what goes on at Google but lots of informed observers have speculated that by integrating very low paying CPM ad campaigns in the pay-per-click zones, the revenues went from a potential 40 cents per click to something akin to 1/100th of a cent per display — which might explain part of the revenue landslide publishers are pointing to.

And it’s not just the banners ads…

Web publishers who feared the DoubleClick inventory integration thought that by turning off the banner ads in their AdSense preferences, they could evade the revenue massacre but that’s not the case because now, rumor has it that large advertising accounts can actually purchase text-based PPC ads using the CPM model.

In other words, web publishers now have to accept the CPM model even if it comes with revenues that can be hundreds of times smaller than regular PPC. And wether this is the reason or not for the revenue drop, the bottom line is that web publishers are making less money now than in 2007 or 2008.

2009 is such a bad year for Google AdSense publishers that some are questionning wether it will ever bounce back — less optimistic reviewers are announcing the fall of AdSense but that’s probably pushing it too far. AdSense is probably going through a phase but how long will that phase be? Are we talking months or years?

Allthewhile, Google is posting healthy profits. Nothing fancy but way beyond the kind of money web publishers are making (proportionately). Why are publishers seemingly the only ones getting hit by the revenue drop? Honestly, nobody knows… except Google, and they won’t tell.

So if you’re an AdSense publisher and you’re tired of being stress out to pay your rent or mortgage at the end of each month, try my domain name, web hosting and SSL certificates online reselling store, for a change. It’s 100% ready to go, completely self-updated and the live 24/7 customer support agents will even answer in YOUR NAME (like, “Hello, this is ‘Company ABC’. How may I help you?”).

AdSense will probably bounce back, at some point but can you afford to wait?

If you want money fast, keep you pay-per-click ads active BUT make sure to advertise your newly created web services store where all your customers will have the opportunity to buy what they crave to have: domain names, web hosting and all sorts of awesome services that assist web builders of all types.

If AdSense bounces back and you already have your online store running, then, you’ll have two sources of revenue making you richer. You can go wrong selling domain names and web hosting

Microsoft’s PubCenter Publisher is a no-go

Google AdSense’s revenue for publishers is lower than ever but at least, it’s humanly feasible to submit an application and get accepted.

With Yahoo!’s Publisher Network (YPN), it’s extremely hard to get in but there’s a minuscule sliver through which you may get invited so that also something you can plan on (however long that plan may take to materialize).

But the absolute worse of all the pay-per-click networks is…

Microsoft!

Yep, the Redmond giant which messes up so many things it touches has managed to burn billions of dollars in absolutely nothing of any worth to bring about the lamest excuse for an ad network, ever. Microsoft has called this horrible creature “PubCenter Publisher” giving out the false impression that publishers actually have a remote chance to be accepted within their realm of mediocrity.

For now and most likely for a very long time, the PubCenter is in beta (yes, the beta “thing”, again) so whenever something messes up, they blame it on the ongoing development which nobody can prove or disprove.

And if you’re completely out of your mind and still want to be a M$ publisher, here’s what you need…

  • you must have a US address; plus
  • a US Social Security number or a US IRS tax ID number; and
  • you must also fill out an online W9 form.

So if you live outside of the US, you’re toast!

And if you’re a US-based web publisher marketing international web properties, expect only your US-based “clicks” to count, which is very frustrating since the real growth is happening outside the United States, right now.

Furthermore, since the PubCenter is an invitation only club, you can submit your site all you want, only the insanely huge, top-tier web destinations ever catch M$’ attention.

But it gets even worse…

Assuming you become a PubCenter publisher, your first site needs to be approved and then, all your other sites need to go through the entire process of being approved… again. And there’s a maximum of 10 sites! Talk about backwards.

In their Terms of Service (ToS), M$ writes “Publishers subject to backup withholding are not eligible to participate in the adCenter Publisher program and will receive no payments.” — so even after proving you’re fine and dandy, everything can skid in weird directions! Wouhou…

And last but not least…

You’re only allowed to use a Microsoft Windows-equipped PC (and they really check for that). A Mac or Linux computer will be permanently excluded from their program. It’s braindead-dumb to start with but knowing that M$ owns about 15% of Apple, it’s downright idiotic to bar users of an OS off which they derive healthy profits.

So this is how Microsoft treats its publishers!

Makes you want to run the other way… far, far away from that much ignorance of how the Net really works.

If you want to exit the pay-per-click race to nowhereland, join the select club of domain name, web hosting and SSL certs selling by purchasing your own web services store where customers —form all over the world— can buy an unlimited number of services from you, at prices you determine.

YPN is the joke of the PPC market

If you’re a hard working web publisher looking to monetize your web properties with pay-per-click ads, don’t waste your time knocking on Yahoo!’s door!

You see, Yahoo! is a bizarre company.

It has made the awesome email service and yet, it has managed to completely mess up its pay-per-click ads business by severely restricting it to…

  • its own network (of course);
  • US-based publishers only — who are only accepted through the lesser known “invitation process”… which you can’t initiate, per se, by just completing their form; and
  • the publishers who happen to be visited by hundreds of thousands of unique visitors, everyday.

So you see why it might be a HUGE problem to become a Yahoo! ads publisher. It’s next to impossible, for normal human beings.

And if that wasn’t enough to turn you off, Yahoo!’s ads are UGLY and backwards. They look bulky and unelegant. Plus, they blend poorly in your design unless you’re knowledgeable enough to handle their API (and then, it looks awesome).

Seeing how the Google AdSense pay-per-click are paying (pennies), lots of web publishers are attempting to get accepted at Yahoo! but that currently harder than getting tickets to a Washington Red Skins game (and that speaks volumes).

The real solution for web publishers, is to open up their own online web services store and sell all sorts of value added services hundreds of millions of people want to purchase, such as domain names, web hosting and SSL certs. Get in on the action today with your own store and kiss the YPN blue away, forever!

Make money from customers all over the world

If you’re still waiting for Google AdSense to bounce back and help pay your rent or mortgage, you may want to consider another alternative because as far as most experts can see, it’s not going to happen soon — unless you jump your site’s daily visitor count into the hundreds of thousands of millions, that is.

You see, the web is a reflection of the world and not just of the United States.

As such, there are more users from China than from the US and that’s a real eye opener. Can you really afford not to sell “something” to these fine individuals who, by the way, generally have a working understanding of English? If you’re smart, you absolutely want to make money with your Chinese, Indian, Brazilian and Russian visitors, to name only those.

Better yet, if you’re based outside the US and want to market web services locally, then your own online store is a must to maximize your ongoing profits, especially with your current customer base.

While pay-per-click ads might yield a $0 profit from each click originating from “overseas”, a full features web services store will generate a healthy profit for you, wherever your paying customer is based. Congo, South Africa or Malaysia — they’re all welcome in my web reseller store (seriously, go take a look at MY web services store).

By the way…

Did you know that 70% of all of Google AdSense’s revenue share went to its “Top 10 Publishers” meaning that only 30%-or-so of their shared revenue went to the millions of “other” publishers… like you, and me.

Furthermore, the top publishers have signed deals with Google that forces the Mountain View giant to share 50% but no smaller publisher knows exactly how much Google is “sharing” with them. It might be as low as… 0% — there’s NO WAY TO KNOW, at all.

With Google AdSense, the numbers that really matter are a SECRET and that tells a lot about the nature of this master-slave relationship.

If you’re tired of relying on only one source of pay-per-click-based revenue stream which happens to be taking, right now, perhaps you owe it to yourself to try something else, namely your own online web services store where you can sell domain names, web hosting and SSL certificates for a healthy profit.

Stop making between $3k and $18k a year busting your chops trying to “position / place” your AdSense “zones” where they’re the most visible and try promoting your own store, for a change. You know stores make money because they SELL stuff… and in this case, YOU set the selling price (as long as it’s over the “buy rate”, which is very low to start with).

It time for you to say “Welcome” to the entire world and since the domain name business is mostly handled in English, you’ll be well positioned to rake in boatloads of money, every month, from “emerging markets” which are GROWING while America is suffering a horrible recession (which we all hope will end soon, because it hurts us all).

Get on the winning team: get your own online store and make the kind of money that’s all but impossible to make, using today’s AdSense.

Publishers want Google AdSense to get better

Web publishers remain committed to Google AdSense even as the revenues are being slashed downwards in a seemingly endless spirale of financial loss of lack of comprehension about what’s really going on, behind the scenes.

Holding on to Google’s apparently sinking advertising ship may be a strategy worth considering because as more publishers opt out, perhaps more advertiser money will trickle down to those publishers who decide to stay but that, by all means, something of a long shot. Better on the future of online advertising is akin to guessing the winning numbers to your local lottery — it’s fraught with wild uncertainty, to say the least.

Even if you wish AdSense will bounce back, magic thoughts might not be enough, in this particular case. Of course, sending positive vibes towards Google, in Mountain View is still a nice thing to do ; )

The truth is, nobody other than Google a few of its major affiliates know what’s going on, right now.

Nobody can be sure why the monthly revenues are drying up but almost every single publisher is feeling the heat from the rock bottom income AdSense is now providing them so, when the going gets tough, a “Plan B” needs to be spun into action.

You could do a whole range of things, depending on your particular talent but if you want to continue generating money 24/7 with the same ease as AdSense (set and forget, basically), you may want to investigate the web services reseller plan I talk about and sell, in this blog.

Why?

Because it works!

And if you happen to have a reasonnable visitor count seeing your ads, it works even more!

Sell web services through your online store —into which YOU set the selling prices, over the low buy rate— and you’ll grow richer with every sale. Domain names, web hosting and SSL certificates are in huge demand and you can be on the selling end.

The store, in and of itself, is entirely automated though you can customize it to resemble your web properties. You can take a look at mine, if you want. Even the 24/7 customer service will answer with the name of your company — wow!

Your visitors will thank you for providing them with such a full featured web services store so don’t wait and make your move. Becoming a web services reseller will probably the smartest move you made since deciding to join Google’s AdSense, a few years back… before the fall.

Google AdSense isn’t a money maker anymore

If you’ve been a Google AdSense publisher for a few years, you’ve seen how dramatically the revenues have dropped, with a sharp decline in February of 2009 but since then, it has hit new lows.

A publisher who has access to historical data will see that the revenue derived from each click has been divided by between 5 and 8 while the click rate has melted at least three times.

So, if you web properties haven’t grown by either a factor of 15 to 24, you’ve seen a spectacular revenue drop.

Since last year, most web publishers have managed to make their web destinations much more interactive, useful and attractive but even if that has helped double the unique visitor count, it doesn’t make up for the huge loss in daily revenue — not by a long shot.

The ugly thruth about AdSense is that…

  • it’s either hit by the recession and therefore takes a larger share of each click for itself; or
  • its advertisers are feeling the heat from the failing economy and therefore, advertise less or with less money.

It’s very hard to know which case may be going on but in whichever one it is, the end result is exactly the same for publishers who can’t even call their AdSense revenue “pocket money” anymore because the monthly checks are so ridiculously low.

If you’re experiencing this AdSense revenue freefall, you better start thinking about the alternatives and for the most part, it’s not going to be a competitor, like Yahoo!’s Publisher Network (in which NOBODY can seem to get admitted) or AdBrite. Unless your web site is getting millions of unique visitors a day, AdSense and similar ad networks will NOT be enough to even pay your rent or mortgage.

It’s a sad story, really.

Just a year ago, it was still possible to make a decent living off AdSense but now, it’s mathematically impossible.

So, what do you do?

You have to think of something — my suggestion is that you should buy my 99$ web services reseller store and market it to your customer base. As a rule of thumb, if your site gets 10k visitors daily, you’re probably getting between 5$ and 20$ through PPC ad networks (if you’re lucky) but if you sell your domain names $25, you could pocket a healthy profit of $16.51 with the “Basic” buy rate at $8.49 and $17.71 with the “Pro” buy rate at $7.29 — wow!

With just one (1) domain name sale per day, you could make more than with an entire day of PPC and since both revenue generation models are perfectly compatible and complementary, you can even keep you AdSense ads on while you gradually entice your visitors to register all their web services with you, starting with their domain names!

If you’re tired of getting stressed out because the end of the month is coming, you know you owe it to yourself to try something else that’s immensely more reliable, like selling domain names which means annually recurring sales and web hosting which usually implies monthly recurring sales. In other words, the longer you resell web services, the richer you’ll get.

Seriously, AdSense has failed most of its web publishers and the rest of us are barely getting by — even with visitor count numbers!

Switching to selling domain names is a smart move and once you become a reseller, you too will have a store like mine where all your customers can puchase their domain names, web hosting, SSL certificates and just about every other web service you can think of… all for a profit that’s mostly end up in your pockets.

Don’t let this opportunity pass you by, it’s solid, proven and reliable. Get your online store now!
