Have any domainers with monetised sites noticed a decline in earnings over the same period that there has been an increase in mobile phone usage?
I understand that advertising does not work so well on smart phones and was wondering if this had an effect on overall Adsense earnings.
I think with mobile phone usage, people behave quite differently than with their normal desktop or laptop browsing. Well I do, and generally am quite specific about what I'm looking at rather than browsing for the sake of it.
While I can't work out my stats on my ads, which I've setup on a few sites (and getting very modest clicks YAY) I have purchased a third party banner serving app which I have installed and the latest release gives me the ability to mix Google ads with affiliate ads and check whether I want to have displayed on mobile apps or not. It's quite handy.
I think you would have to be very specific with your advertising on mobile apps, particularly phones, where the screen size is quite small.
Just my thoughts on the matter...
But what I have noticed now is more and more sites are more mobile friendly than normal desktop friendly...
... it's like a complete flip from where it was not even a year ago.
