    I swear I had more money earned this morning and now it's gone down during the day. Am I hallucinating or have you seen this happen?

    You probably are hallucinating. Google would never do such a thing.

    It's possible -- if Google decided some of the clicks were invalid. Were you looking at actual earnings or eCPM? eCPM can go up and down during the day, even though your earnings go up as you get clicks.

    You are not hallucinating. It's rare, but it happens. They sometimes they correct your earnings if they decide some clicks are invalid.

    If you are involved in activities such as invalid clicking on your ads , then the earnings can go either way ;)

    I think this was it. I actually didn't have any clicks at that point. :)

    It's possible only if the clicks were fraudulent.

    If clicks are invalid your total can go down. Quite common for Google to do it.
