@frank_donovan Traffic is so far looking good in this week. I hope ad revenues will also be back..

@rubina_t Revenue is like last week.

Ovewhelming number of spammers and bots today.

Some are saying traffic has decreased. But revenue has increased as the quality of the traffic is good.

I don't know what to say to them. If this is good traffic then which are bad?

Anyway, our traffic has increased but the revenue has decreased.

It is basically depending on the niche and the place.

@abhirupb I was thinking the exact same thing. For targeted traffic if you don't get revenue then something is wrong.

Adwords is charging as usual. But G is somehow keeping the money through ponzi things

[ani2002]

G search quality has also fallen to new low these days.

All I am seeing is sponsored results.

[sman21]

Adsense is intentionally tanking things.

And also I am noticing traffic from countries such as Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Philippines are on the rise.

Whereas US and UK traffic are decreasing. Even though we are singularly targeting US.

@sman21 Something is definitely up since last week.

I know many big webmasters are not noticing now but soon they will too. Traffic revenue is crazy down.

[intmedia]

@viking91 How come advertisers are not seeing this. It is beyond me.

G is also sending bad traffic to them. If you look closely then you will see that the 30-40% clicks are just from bots and they have origin from questionable sources.
