Does your CPC change often?

    The first three days of this week, I was averaging about $0.XX per click. Then yesterday, my ads lost their targetting for no apparent reason, and my earnings suffered. However, today, my targetted ads are back, but now I'm getting less than 60% of my original earnings per click. My traffic and clicks are up, but my earnings are about half of what they were earlier this week.

    Has anyone had a similiar experience...???

    I don't know if that is too much info there Alfie. I think while you can say your actual revenue you shouldn't talk specifically about CPC or EPC. You might want to edit that to talk about percentage up/down rather than actual CPC.

    Mine does it too but not to the same extent as yours.

    Thanks for the advice e10, I think its more compliant with TOS now. Today has been a frustrating day, almost double the clicks and half the earnings. Hopefully things will be more normal on Monday.
