How Has The Credit Crunch Affected Your Blog Earnings?

We’ve just come to the end of one of the most turbulent weeks ever in the financial markets, and everyday there has been more bad news about which banks need bailing out, or which company has gone bust.  What I’ve found more interesting are the stories that really hit home how bad things are and how bad consumer confidence is such as the birth rate in the UK has fallen to almost record lows as couples are putting off having children.  It made me wonder how the credit crunch might be affecting fellow bloggers.

Surprisingly the credit crunch hasn’t affected my blog earnings yet.  Traffic levels seem to be consistent and if anything more advertisers seem to be approaching me than ever, although I do seem to be closing less deals.  In fact my earnings from ad networks that pay me in dollars have increased thanks to the weaker pound.   Even my earnings from networks that pay me in pounds like Adify and intellitxt have increased.  I think this is because even though I’m part of their UK networks, the deals are actually done in the US in dollars so I’m benefiting again.

How is your site faring at the moment?  Have your earnings stayed strong or have you seen advertisers leaving or CPMs falling?  If they are falling and you’re a full-time blogger, how are you coping?
