    Sorry for my english, but I have a question.
    My google adsense everyday income difference very big,
    for instance said: today income could be yesterday several times,
    then has descended fall,
    every day in continually undulated, but my daily visit quantity was
    almost same, this kind of situation was whether normal?
    For some opinions, thanks.

    Earnings can certainly vary; the thing you want to look for is how much your clicks are varying. If the percentage of people clicking through is going up and down wildly there may be cause for concern, and you may want to make sure that someone isn't clicking your ads excessively. Of course, if your traffic goes up and down in a similar pattern to your AdSense income, there probably is not a problem.

    However, if the number of clicks are about the same while earnings per click are going up and down, that would be due to what the advertisers are willing to pay, and nothing to do with your site at all.

    Try setting up channels. The easy way is to enter a variety of your urls into the URL channels section, then see if the variations come from particular pages.

    It happens to all of us, on a new site I've created, I received 1 click that gave 100% more than 11 clicks previously. It fluctuates depending on the advertisers and your keywording. Did I mention there was a great deal of pure luck involved as well?

    Your best bet is to be glad when you get that little bit extra, and let the troughs spur you on to getting more traffic! A drop in cpm for me is a great motivator, that's a good thing in an industry that's primarily fueled by pure, unadulterated motivation!

    I also noticed the last few days of June were more varied than usual with the 27 and 28th being 10 times more than the 29th and 30th. Traffic was up those days, but less than double...

    I got a big boost both in visitors, impressions, and clicks the last few days in June, and even the 1st of July, but with this holiday weekend going on, traffic has been pretty light. It should bounce back by Tuesday!

    My traffic is light as well. I also get the feeling that adsense(CPM) demand is down as well.

    I find most people visit sites when they're either working, at school or wasting time during the week. I used to think there'd be an influx of visitors during the weekends and on public holidays, but it's quite the opposite - people go OUT!

    I agree. My site is mainly a tech news type of blog, so I get a lot of traffic during business hours (You know, us IT guys don't have anything better to do right!!)
    ;) Then it slows down at night.

    if your ctr remains roughly the same, you should have anything to worry about... :)

    Well, this happen to me also.
    My website has low traffic. Sometimes the CTR might be X%, and sometimes it might be 0%.. I think what I can do is to build traffic to my site :/
