Adsense cuts $125 as invalid traffic

varun barve · Feb 1, 2022

Hey guys I have a site on Adsense which is getting a lot of social media traffic I got around $689 for Jan 2022 and they deducted $125 from my total and left $564 total in my account is this normal for anyone with a majority social media traffic?

I know for a fact that my traffic is 100% legit so I don't know on what basis they are deducting but I am not complaining I am getting much better $ here than the other network where I was working. Just wanted to share this and also know your views on it or if you guys have also experienced such types of cuts from Adsense.

I also have a content website on this account which makes around $100-150 per month and that is 99% organic so I never got any such cuts before this social media site got in. Before I used to get less than a $ as invalid traffic which is fine as I also visit the website sometimes to check stuff.

Been there, AdSense does that all the time.
The more you make, the more they cut unfortunately and there is no way to protect it as their support is non-existent.

Since majority of the traffic comes from social media, it's normal. I am surprised your ads were not limited, what's your average ctr?

Hmm though so as I have been seeing very minimal cut past 4 years but 99% of traffic was organic for that site

Hmm my ctr is 0.47% and no adlimit as of now I had one in nov 2020 and trying a diff site again on Adsense from jan let's see what happens. I have a backup ad network if I get ad limit on Adsense.

Is the traffic organic or from sites like Facebook shares ?

Kenobii · Feb 2, 2022

That's normal and there is nothing you can do about it.
I got like a $500 cut once before.

terrycody · Feb 2, 2022

How about choose Ezoic, try it.

Since the traffic is from social media sites, that is why it is cutting money. Many people reported the same.

Yes IVT issues are real. You can try implementing IVT solution. I have currently implemented a paid one in my client site. We’re expecting to see if it worked or no in a day or two.
