Strange Google Adsense Drop in Revenue Leads to Project Wonderful
Meanwhile, back on Kristen's Guide...
My Google Adsense revenue has been doing weird things lately. First of all, my ad revenue from Adsense dropped... a lot during the last few weeks. And now it's jumping up and down every day. Some days I only make enough to buy 1 grocery item, and other days I make enough to pay for dinner.
(Notice I don't disclose my actual numbers, so I don't violate the terms of the program. For all you know, my 1 grocery item might be a very rare $1000 bottle of wine, so you have no idea how expensive my dinner would be. Sorry. Wish I could be more specific.)
It doesn't seem to matter what my stats are, not pageviews, not click-thrus, not bounces.
The whole thing is creating cardiac distress. (Dammit, somebody get me my pills!) One day I'm relaxed and the next I'm freaking out while trying to figure out what horrible thing caused my income to drop and wondering what I can do to get it back.
So yesterday, that led me to try out Project Wonderful. I was getting tired of managing my flat-rate graphic ad space anyhow. Now, I'll just have Project Wonderful manage it for me for awhile. I don't have any idea how much I'll earn from it, but I stuck the ad in my most prominent ad position, so I'm hoping that will help. The current bid is far from impressive (only $0.20 per day), but I'm hoping that it's only because I just started. (I'm keeping my fingers crossed and chanting "higher, higher, higher" while clicking the heels of my ruby red shoes and trying to wiggle my nose. Let's see if any of that works.)
