CPC was never this low for me.
Clicks are food. Downloads are too good. But cpc is making the revenue a big shit.
It started fron early feb this month.
I am using admob banner+full ads.
Please share yours. Any other network which doing same as feb or even better than admob?
AdMob has been atrocious for me since late December. I’m at lows I haven’t seen since BEFORE I had interstitial ads. I’m considering focusing on another online income stream because I hate being this reliant on Google.
I went from seeing near $100 days to $20 - $30 a day almost overnight. And it’s not like I’ve seen a huge drop in user engagement either in my apps either…
This seems to be happening to everyone. I had the same thing happen to me, my February income has dropped to less then 50% of what my November income was.
same for me as well, we use InMobi and saw drop in revenue upto 40-50% since Jan.
Just saw some improvement from Mar 1st. Hope it will be back to last Nov-Dec days.
the firs week of march did show some increase but after that keeps getting worse. I think the users are fed with ads.
Just think about it if 90% from all developers use some type of ads in the apps you start a game - ads show up… you start an app - ads show up… the idea of monetizing with ads was dead born from the beginning.take the web for example - many sites are dying even big names - why? - simple because the user was fed up with ads and adblocker like plugins are on every power user’s device… me included.
I’m down an average of 40% for all of 2015 (so far). Installs are up but $ is down.
Ironically, Google keeps turning the screw and the latest is that you have to submit a ‘questionnaire’ for all new apps and updates. For existing apps, you have a limited time to submit a questionnaire, and if you don’t, the app is de-listed in various markets.
Google is rapidly becoming a pain in the a$$ for less and less revenue.
