    Umm... I consistently make like $35 a day from Adsense. And now all of a sudden its gone to crap. I'll be lucky to hit $20 today. Is anyone else seeing a HUGE drop in earnings? My traffic is all the same. Whats going on?

    Sounds like you have some ads that do not convert well. Every now and then i have to filter a few ads to keep earnings up

    Purely dependent on the advertisers on your website :)

    dont worry, i've been getting about 6 clicks and making $.25 cents for them. Talk about pure shit and a waste of page space.

    Today appears to be the day when the referral earnings cut have taken effect. I don't remember all of the details, but I know that Google Pack referrals have gone from $2 to $1, and that has killed my earnings today.

    Lithman, have your earnings come back up? I'm wondering if this is temporary. I noticed a drop earlier in January and changed up some sites to YPN, but still haven't seen the results I was getting with Adsense in Late December, early January.

    I still think something weird is going on with Adsense. Earnings and CTR just aren't normal. I've been using adsense for like 3-4 years now and know what to expect from certain sites
