		<description>I think the whole higher impressions but lower earnings could be down to the source of traffic.

Some incoming traffic from particular external links may not convert very well at all compared to search engine traffic or better quality links.

Keep up the good work.

		<description>Thanks for the replies and kind words. I know everyone goes through rough times in the beginning. I just want so badly to have my freedom (read: not not working the man anymore). It&#039;s just going to take a lot longer than I thought. 

I only have 1 site that is user generated content, and that is Historum.com, my history forum. Even running that is hard at times because it&#039;s still in its developing phases.</description>

		<description>David, even if you are not making $50 a day by next year, don&#039;t quit!  I still haven&#039;t made it big yet, but this is my full time job now. It took several years to get to this point. You are off to a much faster start than I was.  Just keep it up, but take time out every now and then to walk away so you can recharge.  By the way, your experience with Adsense earnings drop is pretty typical.    You may also want to try this out.

The other thing is, I think you need to focus more on user-generated content. It is the easiest way to produce lots of quality content at low expense. Essentially, build a site that allows your users to produce lots of hi-quality stuff. It&#039;s not always easy to come up with something, but once you do, you can work on promotion instead of content creation. Lighten your load, automatee and offload as much work as you can, without paying of course.</description>

		<description>Everyone gets down at one point or another.  Glad you&#039;re not packing it up just yet though.  If your clicks are still high or higher, the problem might be with smart-pricing.  Google could have dropped your revenue because your traffic wasn&#039;t converting.  It effects your whole account, and not individual ad units/sites.  That&#039;s just my initial thought though.</description>
