    My CTR is way down this morning.
    Is anyone seeing untargeted ads?
    This is the most common reason for low CTR.

    Or, maybe it is just a delay in reporting.

    Do you have a lot of traffic? CTR can swing wildly just by its nature.

    untargetted ads are very common phenomena nowadays....

    you can avoid it using Adsense Competitive Ad filter.... Its difficult however to track every low paying ad...... Read this on how to get started

    Hope it helps

    Yesterday was a holiday in the U.S. People are probably doing actual work to catch up instead of messing around on the internet. Low traffic and CTR's happen often right after a holiday weekend.

    Well You should wait for while as we knows that Adsense stats not updated real time and sometime it takes more time to show clicks!
