More on the Adsense Revenue Reduction
We recently posted about some publishers reporting a decrease in Google Adsense revenue. Well, it turns out that it may be due to Google’s own efforts to improve its Pay Per Click effectiveness.
Most people have been of the opinion that the reduction in CTR (click-through rate) was due to people clicking less on ads. However, today’s report by comScore on the issue reveals that the following:
The evidence suggests that the softness in Google’s paid click metrics is primarily a result of Google’s own quality initiatives that result in a reduction in the number of paid listings and, therefore, the opportunity for paid clicks to occur.
Meanwhile, in the post Google CTR Down Due To Click Area Changes, TechCrunch is claiming that Adsense revenue is dropping because of changes in the way that Google defines the click region for ads.
I guess we’ll be seeing more on this issue to come.
