    It looks as if I am going to have may worst average pay per click today for the first time since I have joined Google. It is gone really bad today.

    I hope that it picks up later on today.

    Yesturday was good for me with Adsense but today it is just really bad.

    As you can see different people see different results.

    I am having a bad day with Adsense while others may be seeing their best days ever.

    I would guess that would be the same for YPN and CPM ad networks.

    One, two, or three days of a drop or rise is constantly common in YPN or AdSense, But some of us have experienced a huge drop in CPM, EPC etc since April 1, and it's still continuing.

    YPN and AdSense both now pay very little for me, AdSense was great then SmartPricing hit....... YPN was great, then April 1 hit...........

    Well, I am sorry to here about all of this. That is why it is best to not rely to much on one source of income as things like this can happen. I hope that it really does improve for you.

    Change the tracking category on your site to a brand new one, I have a hunch that something good will happen.

    yo-yo, are you onto something? I haven't tested that yet but I will. Why did you mention it? Is there a thread about this somewhere? YPN is tanking again for me the past week.

    I switched to Adsense for a few days on one site, got much better CTR but the clicks didn't pay well so I switched back.

    I guess you can be lucky that you can switch back and join in the first place. Us internationals have got no chance of trying it out until it becomes international. lol.

    i wonder whats happening to Yahoo...shares dropped heavily (news today)
    lots of people complaining about webhosting services, ad values...

    But then again, my adsense rates have also dropped drastically during last 2 months.

    Maybe its a phase both companies are going thru.
    Maybe something is brewing somewhere...

    But i dont think switching from one to another will do much good to webmasters.
