Revenue up?

My Adsense revenue is up for the past two months. Ad placement is the same. you can see it on the site in my sig.

In October, I had a CTR of 0.69% and an eCPM of $0.91 and an average CPC of about $0.14.
In November, I had a CTR of 1.00% and an eCPM of $1.57 and an average CPC of about $0.16.
So far in December, I have had a CTR of 1.09% and an eCPM of $1.69 and an average CPC of about $.016.

I would like to think that the quality of my site and the targeted traffic I am buying has a lot to do with it. However, are we seeing a higher CTR and CPC due to the holidays. If my traffic is still there, can I expect to go back to October's numbers after Christmas.

This is my first year with Adsense on this site. Can anyone please share their thoughts?

Hmm, congrats
I'm getting off the adsense sandbox, I took out the ads for 1 week, and put them again yesterday. average CPC went from 1,5 cent to 4 cent . this is the secret of "how to get off the G smart pricing".

 

My revenue still same with last week and last days.

 

Congratulations, I also see little(not much) increase in my revenue this month.

 

Congratulations, my revenue in the last 3 months went up by 580%. in December it already went up by 1800% =)

Yes.
but concretely ?

 

Here's my problem:
About 10 days ago I earned 0.20-0.60$ from each click,but the last week earnings have dropped to 0.06$ per click.Do you think it will help if I remove the ads for a week or so?

 

Thanks for all the kudos, but does anyone think this is something seasonal, or am I getting higher quality traffic?

 

man, I really dont know ... now the cpc dropped again

 

Yeah it's pretty weird...Now I'm trying to get SEO-related ads,let's see how much they will pay :/

 

Adsense has a sandbox? I wasn't aware of that. Anyway, I am also witnessing a slight rise in CPC (around two cents) over the last couple of months. I am not sure if this has anything to do with the fact that it the holiday period.
