    Team,

    I was wondering, if it's only for me or, are there few others who are experiencing reduced CTR and eCPM since yesterday ?

    Best,

    Adsense is behaving weirdly. Google keeps saying their downtimes and maintenance don't affect earnings but I'm not so sure.

    Since January I was able to get at least $200 per day with my main site ..now it's hard hitting $150 even with increased traffic.

    I'm not sure what may be wrong. My CTR has taken has fallen drastically as if gravity is sucking it real hard !

    I just randomly checked a few pages and noticed that I have same set of advertiser through out, totally unrelated to the content of the page !

    May be down time, or less adverts, what ever the problem is, Google's not being open. They wouldn't want their stocks tumbling down I guess :D.

    I'll wait and watch for another week before I take further action.

    Phew !

    I have Interest-based advertising switched off this week to see if it will make a difference. Maybe you should try that.

    and I thought it was only me....:).

    not sure about yesterday.....but on Monday my CTR and clicks went down very sharply.

    in fact, for one of my sites, the organic traffic was twice the normal (1000 uniques/day), and still the number of clicks halved.

    I actually checked my source code to see if someone had replaced the Adsense code of my better performing ad units....:D.

    I'm having the same problem... Actually May started well, but the last two weeks have been bad even though my traffic has increased. It's weird cos I'm getting more and more users from search engines :D

    Just the same .. Is there any possibility that Adsense's inventory doesn't have enough ads to show :p ..

    Sachin,
    My traffic too has increased but so has the earnings and eCPM. With almost 150% increase in traffic, the earning has gone down equally.

    I hope this is a temporary glitch and things change soon, for good :) Else time for me to test other folks !

    Common G, you can do it !

    My clicks have been worth nothing since February. Traffic is higher than ever, CTR is constant, only thing that changed was the click values which are ridiculous now.
