Ad Sense on the downhill?

[Nightshift]

I use to earn about 300.00 a month all the way up to Bush's second yr election year. I don't know what happened but sales went down as well. Now were going to elect another president soon, not sure if my pocket book can take it.

anyone else experience the same things?

when one person posts on forums that their earnings have dropped you normally find other people post that their earning have gone up, check the date when your earnings went down to see if you had changed something on your site what could be related to this drop in earnings or maybe its one of the following what could of changed around the date your speaking about

did adsense change something
are you getting less visitors to your site
does your site still rank for your chosen keywords
is your site still in the google index
have you kept your site updated
have you added new content
have you been smart priced

lots more reasons too, these are just off the top of my head, the bottom line is traffic, the more visitors you have to your site and the bigger the chance of that all important sale or click on an advert

I have a good sense on why my dropped and it did happen around bush's re-election. people were not buying so thus the people advertising had to cut back and yes in down times most cut back on their advertising rather then advertising more.
