With the data now out on Google latest earnings report it looks like Google has seen its CPC earnings slide by 8%
Now the actual number of clicks has gone up 34% however the price paid per click has dropped dramatically.
Simple supply and demand would suggest this is because there is not enough advertisers to bid up the price to where it previously was.
Coming out of a christmas quarter I was surprised to see the demand for ad space drop. Do you think if this trend continues Google could start to loosen there restrictions around affiliates using there service again ?
