i was just wondering if you had enough statistical data to refer back to. my epc this month is down by half, compared to the exact same time period last year... ctr is also way down. so for me, it's NOT because advertisers have reduced their ad spend due to the holidays. and it's NOT all because of the new click regions on the text ads... the epc shouldn't plunge because the ads are harder to click, in fact, the opposite would be true... people who really want to click the ads will convert better for the advertiser. take your pick: 1) adsense ad spend in america is down due to a recession. 2) google has changed things, i don't see very many of the fortune 25 companies anymore, what i get instead is a lot of untargeted crap that doesn't pay as well.
DOWN... Down...... down....... My December earning have been down for no apparent reason. Especially the last few days. Hope things pick back up after the holidays!
Daily earnings dropped by half but are slowly creeping back up. Adsense is only about 1/6 of my total earnings anyway.
