Good for you. After my positive post of a few days ago, things took an ugly turn and eCPM plummeted 30% or so. I've sort of come to expect this every few months. It seems that Smart Pricing gets cranked back to some kind of default and then gradually recovers.

In another example of my talent for impeccable timing, after paying for a yearly renewal of Google Custom Search, I took the advice of a Google optimization rep and tried out the free ad-supported search.

The free search used to be markedly inferior but is now virtually identical and pays off handily. It's not enough to compensate for the fallen eCPM but it helps.

Today is relatively poor as sundays go. Its still pretty okay compared to normal weekdays though. No real complaint here; things are within one standard deviation.

Funny, the last few days have been terrible for me but today looks like a nice comeback. I believe we are an inversely proportional equation.

This weekend has been the lowest for about 6 months for me (including today), no idea why that is - but I'm not too worried unless it carries on in to next week.

Crap day for me. Well below a normal sunday. One of the worse days of this month.

All time record stats for about a week now, since making some quite significant changes.

Thinks were average-low all week but Saturday (usually a weak day for me) was relatively high and Sunday looks like it's going to be a cracking day.

I have made a few subtle changes to ad placement, obviously something has changed somewhere along the line.

Sunday March 24th was the best day since December 28th.

But what a difference!

About the same revenues,
but this time, I needed 58% more page impressions for this result.

My eCPM from December 28th multiplied with my page impressions from March 24th would have been an impressive new all time record in daily earnings.

I thought in December eCPM is disasterouse low.......
