    FWIW, my site is up - just a bit, but steadily through the month.

    I did make changes and now frustratingly don´t know what can be marked up to my new ad format, what to mark up to G´s new ad choices. I suspect my site would have been down but those changes I made somehow offset any neg effects of the recent AS changes.

    I should mentione that the keywords I'm talking about are travel based. May is not a big travel month so some decline is not unexpected. I expect things to go back up in June.

    I was sure that there will be others who are seeing similar behaviour as me. I am seeing higher payouts per click for the last few days. For the same number of clicks I am seeing almost double the revenue. Could be that google has changed a thing or two as to which ads to show where .. or the auction on particular keywords have shot the ad prices up.

    What kind of keywords are we talking about. I haven't seen a big jump in stock, travel or ESL...

    Actually, my cpc has varied greatly over the past week. Some days are good - like today - but other days are awful - like yesterday. The difference is pretty drastic. I'm talking a per click change in amount of 600-1000% from one day to the next. That's pretty crazy.

    You need to become a Meso Tort Lawyer who also runs a webhosting business. You will be in the money in no time.
