July Mid-Term Traffic & Earnings Report – Are You Winning Or Losing?

In last month’s earnings report I predicted that my traffic and site earnings were going to fall this month as people spend less time online and advertisers spend less as a result.

So far, I’ve actually managed to maintain my traffic despite not really posting for the first week of the month. However, my earnings have taken a big hit so far this month:

  • Google CTR constant, but eCPM down 25%
  • intellitxt clicks per day up 6%, but revenue per click down 6% as well
  • feedburner FAN ad impressions down 50%
  • Tribalfusion average CPM down 23%
  • no direct ad sales so far this month or ReviewMe/Sponsored Reviews

The only area where I’m winning is with Text Link Ads sales where I’ve sold a handful of links this month. How are you faring?
