For the last few weeks, I've been getting multiple payment failures everyday. This bad economy has finally caught up to me.

Of late, I've noticed a sharp decline in my AdSense CPMs. My CPMs all last year fluctuated between $0.50 and $1.00 across all my websites.  Rarely it would dip below $0.50 and rarely would it go above $1.00 for a day. Starting January 4th of this year, my CPMs have been mostly below $0.50. Starting February 5th, my CPMs have been mostly below $0.40. Today, my CPM is below $0.30. Fortunate that my pageviews are up 20% month-over-month.

Anybody else notice this? Might be time to short the GOOG.

I received an email from Grab Networks today, previously known as TheNewsRoom, previously known as Voxant. It states....

Therefore your current contracted terms, including CPM rates for ad impressions and other payment terms, will remain as they are currently stipulated in your active agreement with us.

Hmmm! Yet I'm now earning a CPM of exactly $0 according to their stats. Doubt that was my terms. Avoid these guys. They paid well for a few months, but the faucet has been turned off.

I just read the following sentence from the Voxant (TheNewsRoom) website.

Monthly payments are capped at $350 per month per account. No payments will be made for ad impressions generated that earn revenues in excess of $350 per month.

Huh? Since I was earning up to $1,500, what happens to the other $1,150? They didn't even send me an email to inform me of any change. Just another reason not to use them anymore.
