impact of Apr. 1 Adsense changes?

[RoySpencer]

Anyone notice significant changes yet? We're seeing higher CTR and earnings...could be just a coincidence, though.

Higher CTR, yes. Higher earnings ? Just the opposite to me :(

[RoySpencer]

over at webmasterworld, a similar thread was closed after 1 week of complaints about reduced earnings. Our earnings have approximately doubled, and the CTR is up by about 1/3. ...so the changes have been good for us.

agreed. CTR has remained almost same, however, earnings have doubled, so good for me.

Hi tejas, Please put your sig into your signature file. That way you don't have to keep typing it on every post. Keep in mind some members read in here with 'signatures' turned off. If you keep typing your sig into every post, you are pissing off those members who don't want to see any sigs.

Thanks! :)

Conversion is down.
Dollar/click is up.
Total income is up.

Since i started this thread, I give an update. The Apr. 1 changes gave us a HUGE increase in CTR and earnings. Then, starting Apr. 15, it all went worse and pre-Apr. 1st. It's been a roller-coaster.

All I heard was an increase in revenue. Only me being left out and worse still my site is being blocked in China :(. The major traffic generator :(

This time they don't block the IP but only the URL of my site :(. They purposely pick on me :(. Now I am thinking of writing to the embassy of China in Malaysia asking them to see to this abuse of power of the authority concerned in their country. Do you think it helps ? Please give advice

I've seen a very large increase in CTR and earnings in April- about 4 times average. Pretty incredible, but I also changed the color of my ads, so that could have something to do with it.

Buy another domain name and have it pointed to your site... see if that works

Thanks for your suggestion. I've already given up on them. Hopefully after some time, they would go easy on unharmful sites.
