Low RPM & 70% traffic drop after joining Journey

sandy joe

I’ve been on Journey since September. Once I joined, my traffic dropped by 70% and has never recovered. When I tried posting about it on the forum, it was deleted. 

In addition to that, my rpm has been painfully low. To the point that it may be worth leaving just to recover traffic but I have yet to meet payment threshold so I would be throwing away what little revenue I have made. 

Anyone else experiencing this?

    Yes, it’s the same on my end! RPM is so low. I don’t know, it feels like everything is going downhill at the moment. I just read a few posts on Reddit where people were complaining about how RPM and earnings have gone down over the past few months.

    Jeena I'm curious if you've seen any improvements? My RPM is so low and I cannot understand why. When I say low, I mean I'm averaging around $1.83 which is WILD for a website focusing mostly on beauty/style/travel.

    Hey Sandy, I haven’t seen much change in the last few months either. There was a time I was making $12–13 a day, and now it’s dropped to under $5, sometimes even less than $2. I kept thinking it would bounce back, but so far it really hasn’t.

    Jeena, 

    Did anyone at MVJ offer any support or suggestions on changes? I've found this forum to be mostly useless when it comes to tangible advice.

    Nope! I submitted my query back in April and still haven’t received any reply. I don’t think they will.
