    For the past week I've seen a lot of fluctuations in my CTR. its dropped from around 75 cents to a lousy 10 cents on alternate days.

    I've been seeing a spike in traffic and a drop in revenue at the same time! I'd have thought that the revenue should at least stay the same.

    Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

    The past 3 days or so, my Adsense has been all whacked out. The reports are way off my monthly averages.

    I'm talking CTR dropped like 3% points overnight.

    Either Google isn't reporting all the clicks, or something funky is going on.

    I've been seeing a increase in traffic and a drop in revenue.

    Yep, with steady visitor numbers my CTR halved around a week ago, then went back to normal 3 days later, then dropped again yesterday. As far as I can tell they seem to be experimenting with the ads being served? Hopefully it's just a glitch.

    My CTR dropped drastically for about 3 days suddenly about a week ago. Now it has gone back up a little but nowhere near the high.
