    Anyone else noticed a massive drop in CPC yesterday?
    Day/Impressions/Clicks/CTR/ECPM/$$$
    Friday 5,xxx 114 2.2% $4.1 $22.xx
    Saturday 4,xxx 126 2.5% $4.9 $23.xx
    Sunday 5,xxx 153 2.7% $4.5 $25.xx
    Monday 6,xxx 152 2.2% $0.4 $2.xx

    These are only the stats for one of my sites but it's the same for alle other sites on my account. I've posted this site because it's normally paying high ecpm... the clicks are legit.

    This might happen many times.The adwords publishers always cry because google asks more money from them and adsense Publishers get lesser and lesser money.Ultimate winner is Google itself.

    I think it was related to switching from "Allow any site to show ads for my account" to "Only allow certain sites to show ads for my account".
    The weird thing is they still showed the ads on my websites, counted the clicks but didn't pay me for them. Still not sure if I'm earning money again but it looks a little bit better than yesterday.
