I am a publisher from Austria. 9 hours difference to Google time.
My main income comes from the German area.
Since about one week, a new major trend on earnings, bad mornings
It starts with unusual low impressions and eCPM.
About midday, suddenly more impressions, higher eCPM

I noticed the same situation also. Most visitors are from US.

google time?
If you're talking google time, then I am the opposite. Up to 8.00am google time, great eCPM.
After that, google locks my clicks in the refridgerator and lets a couple out in 4 hour intervals, making sure I don't surpass the "glass ceiling" that they've assigned me.

I have noticed this for a while now and I am simply putting it down to tardy reporting by Google and "assume" that nothing is anywhere near real time reporting.
My sites are mainly English global and my best earnings period is definitely UK 18.00~02.00 which would coincide with the accepted US at work using the Net and Europe using it in the evenings.
