AdMob Earnings Stopped?

[Michael Terpak]

Hi!

I'm new to using AdMob, and decided to incorporate it into my new app.  When I first released the app onto the store, I told a few of my friends about it, and their gameplay gave me $0.22 cents in a couple days.  I began spreading the word to other friends and family, and doubled my impressions from 200 to 400 in a day.  From this, I gained nothing for the entire day.  The next day, I gained about 200 more impressions, still with no monetary gains.  My impressions do go up, I am getting clicks on the ads, but no money is coming in.

I followed the rules of ad placement.  I only have 1 ad visible at a time, and no ads visible during gameplay.  I also have my testing device that I use configured to receive test ads, so I don't think clicking/viewing my own ads is a problem.

The two days where I got zero revenue were Feb 20th and 21st, and so far today, the console shows no earnings as well.  Is anybody else experiencing this?  I did research and read about times where AdMob revenues have crashed due to different events, so maybe theres a crash now and because my revenue is so small at the moment, instead of losing some I'm losing all of it?  Having these consecutive days of 0 revenue is killing me Request RPM so I'm praying it gets resolved soon.

Any help or advice is appreciated!

Thank you,

Mike

Hi Michael,

AdMob operates on a pay-per-click basis. With such low impression volume, it's possible that you just haven't received any clicks. 

Thanks,

Hello Eric,

I am facing huge drop in revenue from 300$ to 140$ progressively within the last 4 days.

I opened this post for detailed info:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/google-admob-ads-sdk/revenue|sort:date/google-admob-ads-sdk/a_ERRbAUEoM/7YkFoKHlUwMJ

From our statistics/reports, number of clicks is growing but why this drop in revenue is there a bug, can you please help me and check my post?


Thanks.

It turns out there were some delays from earlier this week, but they should be processed and everything should be updated now. I've been told this also only affected those still on the legacy system.

Thanks,
Eric
