Can't say I've seen much of a hit at all. Since the crisis hit my ad revenues have actually gone up. Go figure, I just hope it lasts.

On the plus side, amazon sells are always through the roof in december and this year is no exception so far. People also tend to buy 5 or 6 items at a time rather than just 1 or 2. I've been experimenting with a few affliliate programs with moderate success but they still haven't overtaken adsense yet. I’d love to see $10 ecpm this month but it’s not looking good.

My loss, I guess. @Andy – That’s eCPM is awesome, but I agree about affiliate sales is where the money is.

Adsense rev is definetly down for me (about $6 to $10 eCPM now!) . That is why I am focusing on affiliate programs now. There payoff is about 10 to 30 times an adsense click. So while it may be harded to generate affilate sales, longer term that is where the money is. I also noticed this awhile ago when I was writing a post on a similar topic.

Is just like a roller coaster ...a few days the earnings are good, and a few days are a little bit lower. I’ve also saw a decline in revenue but just for a few days.

Just Kidding! This was my first month of blogging and I came halfway to the initial payout point. I have nothing to compare it to but I could definitely imagine pf blogs taking a hit during tough times. On the other hand, the one plus that I see is that more people will be online looking for help and someone to guide them through such a difficult time. Hopefully that will mean more readers/traffic, which in a upswing could generate more money. Yea my revenue was way down this month. Just Kidding!

I would strongly suggest that you diversify your revenue sources well. Kontera did pretty well, as did Adsdaq. For affiliate programs, try INO.
