May 8 was my 4th-best day of the month but it took a late click dump to boost what was looking like an awful day into respectability. If there's any trend i can see in my recent stats, it's that CTR is off 30-40% - i'm being saved by higher impressions due to more new content. Therefore i'm working harder for the same money... and Google's ads may not be as attractive to visitors as they used to be.

We all knew this was going to happen, eventually. It's time to move some stuff off of Adsense and give emerging companies a chance to serve ads--or sell ad space yourself.

I have started doing that and am already seeing an increase in profits.

Are you using similar advertisers or entirely different formats?

Thanks.

Mine haven't budged for several hours.

Mine have been stuck for hours also- you are not alone!

I don't know if mine are stuck or just hopelessly low.

Shame, the day started well but haven't really budged for hours!

Grrr

My day started off good too, but now will end up a crappy day unless a huge click dump at the last minute.........

Another stunningly crap day. CTR hit the floor.

Yesterday earnings surprisingly wound up slightly above average. But it's only the second time this month - all the other days have been under and WAY under. Here's to hoping yesterday signals a return to 'normal'

Wow, CTR is WAY down the crapper.

AGAIN.

I think it's time to start considering alternatives. Adsense has been driving me mad the last month.

Earnings are way down .... very low

Why google why... Things were going so well... Whichever dial was turned, please turn it back!

rel estate site ... 4k uniques $21 lol, this makes me laugh

how many page views?

It's now midnight, and i've earn't what I would normally earn at 1700.

Baaaaaaad day.

Crazy ole world. I just dunno what to do or think anymore. Google has just gone insane.

I know this is optimistic to the point of being naive, but I hope saturday's 'maintenance' will not make this worse.

I am seeing this now. Very bad start to the day. CPMs have not been too good so far this year anyway, and this is worse....

I also has a drop in traffic last night - I wonder if there is some connection?

any updates?

Page Impressions normal however click volume very, very low for this time of day, some are reporting extremely slow Google services:

Surely this has to be related to the low values?

Miserable!

still no word from Google?
