    I think no, may be people mostly click on your ads which have low CTR.

    Hmmm mine actually went up...It's quite normal for Adsense to go up and then down so you shouldn't worry much.

    Yeah I had a slight Drop in the earlier part of the Month but I made a few modifications to conform with the season...To the site itself not the ads Layout and have seen a Improvement in results.
    Added some free Christmas Goodies and some feel good stuff which my Ads seem to kinda pick up on and have been even showing some ads eerily similar to my giveaways so maybe the ads are being clicked on thinking it's another free giveaway.:confused::rolleyes::p

    I'm doing a little better, actually, at least with one site. But then again, it is geared for the winter season. Overall, though, December is my absolute worst month. Always has been. Black Friday onwards is an absolute disaster. Somebody is making a killing for the holidays, but it surely isn't me.

    I know you'd know if you got nipped by Panda because your search rankings would show it. Since that's not the case, try a couple of more things..

    Is the subject of your site seasonal?

    Try typing in your main key phrase into Google Insight Search ( http://www.google.com/insights/search/# ) and see how it performs for different times of the year.

    Ease over to Spyfu.com and run your main phrase by them and see how it performs over time.

    There is an answer out there, and you'll find it.

    This happen to me every year due to the Christmas. most of the people are looking for Christmas gift or related information, the earning will increase if you are in those gift/shopping niche

    Made only $7.00 today so far which is beyond disgusting. Well it be Christmas Eve and all. ;)

    Don't know how I am going to pay for the huge Justin Bieber doll I bought for myself if these low earnings keep up. Oh my. :(

    Yes, I'm receiving a significant drop in earnings but I tend to have this happen every year for my sites, but I won't really know how badly affected it all is until the season passes.

    Less traffic and less earnings every year without fail. I should make a site entirely about Christmas to counter it :)

    Like usual, the day after Xmas my earnings have gone up since people are off from work and some of the buzz has worn off. I can at least make up some of the earnings I've lost some of the days this month.
