$200 a day from youtube adsense ! literally !!!!

[husypunter]

hi, i got $200 a day from adense, let me explain.
i have a youtube account in which i have uploaded some videos (about 50) , have done no seo at all, just some keywords in tags, these videos are there in my account since an year now, and because of this i was getting a stable $50-$100 every month from adsense, then something very different happened in the last 2 days which i cannot explain, please help me understand this.

screenshot of march (click on it to expand) total = $136.97
at:

screenshot of april (click on it to expand) total = $53.79
at:at:

screenshot of may 1-may 23 (click on it to expand) total = $397.78

:hitit: :beach2(2)

now, if you see the spike in earnings on may 19th and may 20th, its all because of 2 videos, let me show you guys below.



now, surprisingly, after may 20th, youtube marked the top video as age restricted, but it doesnt have any nudity or violence, its just a commercial of a casino. and it has only 60k views, so its not making any more money, neither its getting any more views.

video number 2 has about 30k views, and its steadily increasing at the rate of 200 views per day, on its own. but it has stopped making money all together, and it is not age restricted.

so what i wana know is, what happened on may 19th and may 20th, that i made almost $200 a day with just 2 videos with 30k and 60k views, and is it not making money anymore ? can someone please explain ? so i can make the same amount again. :target:

if any more information or stats are needed , pls tell me, i will update here. thanks.

Edited -->> may 24th,2013

Some people have mentioned that it might be a result of click bombing and i should remove my adsense code immediately.

now heres thing .. i know this for sure that this is not what you are trying to say, why ? because when i saw the breakdown, youtube adsense doubleclick earnings are just $7 for those 2 days, but AFV earnings are $200, now wat is AFV, when someone watches your video and they see an ad, they click on it and if they buy that product, you get a share. but im not able to figure out that what kind of ads were displayed on those 2 days on my those 2 videos.

A similar spike happened to me, it was from YouTube featuring the video on the popular videos page.
To check if the same happened to your videos, check the analytics>traffic sources>'YouTube - Other Features'>'Browse - Videos'. If you see a huge amount of views from 'browse videos', then your video was featured by YouTube.

The casino thing and getting age restricted has something to do with AdSense and gambling content restriction I think.

i just checked what you said, but "browse videos" only got me 12 views, moreover you might be very right about the gambling thing, for age restriction.

 

[Black Hat Expert]

i request you to take away the adsense code as you got sudden increase google may even bann you for no reason.I have well experince with this adsense clicks bombing.

That is what im trying to figure out, there is no method, i followed nothing, that is why im doing the investigation that what really happened ?

the sudden surge was for 2 days only, now its gone... and it is not click bombing, im editing my initial post to explain this.

 

[Blaukreuz]

I experienced something very similar last year. I had a video with many clicks but not more than 20€ adsence-income per day. One morning, i look at my adsence account: I earned 150 EUR overnight. Very strange.

Check the other traffic sources or 'playback locations', try to find where the views originated from.
