Mine were pulverised for the second 12 hours! Only 20% of my earnings came after AdSense came back online.
All my final metrics were well down to average and even more noticeable in that I was having a storming day until the outtage.
Am I the only one?
And if I had more filter ability I would be over $300 per day.
You have to remember this is a 10 year old, trademarked product, website. I put 20 hours a week in for 10 years to create the content I have and the marketing that powers it. There is blood, sweat and tears in there and many late nights after working all day.
And now I am free because of Adsense!
Rolling out 3 more sites along the similar lines right now and will be able to shuttle the traffic directly from the parent site to them.
I have a bunch of small hobby sites with GOOD original content since well before google came about.
5k page views
$100+ (just) average per day over a long period.
And the stats say much the same thing every day for 3 years or so now...
Another thing that would be interesting to compare would be whether the sites that suffer are real genuine content with organic traffic or if they buy visitors?
All of my traffic is from links, forums, search engines etc.
Seems google adsense likes well targeted qualified traffic from real content sites.

my stats haven't changed in the last 3 hours or so..
Spacylacie,
Don't you just love those recliners? I just bought 2 leather loveseats and one of them was a double recliner. :)
Everyone in the family is green with envy!
Had to go with loveseats as space is limited, (small LR), needed to hold some space for my entertainment center and personal recliner.
Oh yeah, Google it is time for an updation or click dump :)

Um I think $250 x 30 is only $7500. Do they multiply differently where you come from? :-)
yep mike... over here in beautiful, sunny malaysia, USD250 a day equals RM1000. So USD7500 a month equals RM30,000. There ARE other countries besides the US you know ;)
With the earnings many people like Khensu are making on Adsense, you could live VERY, VERY comfortably here.
Why else would I get into Adsense? My home catering biz is good, but it's tough work - I'm running in and out of my hot kitchen frying chicken even as I type this! Adsense is sooooo much easier ... and cooooler.
OptiRex, I don't know what it is about your website(s), but you're always posting about seeing the wildest swings.
Actually you only see these type of posts from me when I experience a wild swing or an evidently unusual occurrence.
My actual daily earning's average rarely fluctuates more than $40-60 on a several hundred Dollars a day account therefore when I report an anomally it is usually with good reason to question what has happened.
I appreciate earnings vary however when there is a substantial drop after an "outtage" then questions have to be asked.
My Thursday's earnings ended up, considering the volume of reported Page Impressions, the worst day of the year of an otherwise solid week up until the outtage, with easily the lowest EPC this month and the lowest eCPM since 27th December 2005.
To put this into context this year's eCPM average is much more than USD 10.00 and Thursday's was 20% less...that is substantial and especially so if it continues for more than a few days!
Do I feel the "problem" has been resolved?
It's too early to tell today however initial figures suggest not but we'll see as the day goes on.
Interestingly AdSense have not responded to me as yet which makes me believe that they are taking things much more seriously than a canned response.

Like October 12
or October 1 [webmasterworld.com]
or September 28 [webmasterworld.com]
etc.

Precisely and if you read through them you'll understand my reasons and why my statement is justified.
I am not the only one who has experienced strange occurrences this past few weeks however I may be one of the few prepared to put their head above the parapet and ask questions.
Of course AdSense would never answer any of them since admiting any type of issue would be akin to "Doing no evil"! :-)
I am having CTR and eCPM problems and my metrics are screaming this, now whether I have been invaded by Pirannasites I do not know however I shall fathom it out.

ditto
however I may be one of the few prepared to put their head above the parapet and ask questions.
seeing threads like these from senior guys sort of tell newbies that it's really OK to clear their doubts and ask questions. After all, we're here to share and learn. I've had many potential cold-sweat situations cut short because someone confirmed a wild or weird fluctuation or an outage. If my earnings were consistently solid and I feel I am beyond contributing to certain posts, then I'd just ignore them. That's why Opti, Khensu, Ann and Hobbs are my kinda people. Always ready to pitch in with a polite bit of info spiced with a generous amount of humour.
In any case, I've had 3 wild fluctuations already this month!
