    so it's just ctr who dropped. ecpm simply depends on ctr and cpc.
    So you have to check more, do you have several sites? Can you know which site you have a sudden drop in ctr ?

    The eCPM drop is due to your CTR drop

    be methodical. First you told me your CTR dropped half. now you say both your ctr and cpc are low and then you ask a question on mgid.
    Take one step at a time if you want to resolve your issue, otherwise do 36 things at the same time and achieve nothing.

    Mine has gone down, but I know why. Certain advertising categories go up during the Christmas holiday season while others go down. I have a travel site that always tanks from Thanksgiving until right after Christmas, then it takes off again.

    People don't plan vacations during the Christmas season. They shop instead, so retail Web sites do very well while travel doesn't.

    Use Google Insights for Search to see if your most important keywords are dropping right about now.

    I agree this may have been due to the festive season. People are surfing shopping related sites.
