just wondering if it's universal

No.

Yes, but I'm attributing it to a lackluster day yesterday. If I take what seems to be extra this morning, and add it to yesterday's revenue, then both days become average. We'll see by the end of the day if both days simply even out.

Nothing unusual here (though it's too early to tell, being only a little after 10 a.m. Google time). Daily eCPMs have been pretty steady from day to day lately--not good, not bad, but adequate.

I was just checking to see if anyone else was experiencing an upward swing today.

So far today much worse than average however recently my clicks seem to have been anywhere up to 8 hours behind and I've subsequently ended up with a "reasonable" day.

Usual day for me.

lol, I came here to see if stats were stuck since mine are very low today

mine are very low today

Yep, mine are still abnormally low, hope they changed the rubber band soon!

I had a wonderful past 2 days, following a very weak start in August.

Okay, so it must be niche specific. My day has ended up real high. Sorry to hear about those on the downward swing of things.

Ahahah... so you have my money!
Low eCPM here :(

My adsense account totals are wrong, the amount since last payment is 10% of what it should be. Anyone else seeing anything like this?

As expected, I'm now paying for those few wonderful days. Back to summer doldrums.

Ever wondered how average a day it is possible to have?

My Friday's earnings were 0.02 within my daily average. Today, Saturday, AdSense had better be stuck since I have had 6 clicks so far!

Same trend as always here, down 30% from the month before.

I'm hoping it's stuck today, my top site so far has had 1 click! (which aint good btw!)

My stats are 50% below what they should be on a Saturday at this time.

Stats are lower than what they usually are.

I had a pretty good August and now earnings are going to be down by 400.00 on just one site..assuming things stay at this average. I seem to be getting 4-5 cents less per click with the traffic and CTR staying about the same as last month. Sucks pretty good. I wish Google would SAY something to us about this. I feel like a mushroom with Google.

August has been absolutely atrocious for me so far in August. Some of my sites have suddenly started showing lots of irrelevant ads where previously was a good selection of well targeted ones, but I think a lot of problem is down to this being the biggest time of the year for summer holidays over here. Either way I'll wait and see how September ends up before starting to draw any major conclusions.

I always get punished for an 'up-'day by at least one 'down' day. Today being one of these 'down' days.

Can't wait till' the holidays are over ;)

Once everything caught up Saturday ended up with a completely average day, again, and I'm hoping today will as well since at the moment after 12 hours of a Google day I'm only seeing 25% of an average day...new rubber bands please.

Nothing short of horror: AS for the last couple of days on my sites.

I can see the accruing number of clicks on one of the channels today (it's at 9 now), but its earnings haven't moved from $0.03 for a couple of hours now. Can't be invalid clicks (someone clicking on the ad fast in a sequence) as the no. of clicks grows slowly. Go figure. Thanks again, G!

Nothing unusual in the eCPM of AdSense. Over the last year, adjusted for seasonality, there is a slight uptick, but nothing significant.

From here through the holiday season, people should see a gradual increase in CPMs and CTRs. Last year, performance peaked in late October and early November and then gradually declined through the end of the year.

Last year the sentiment was increasingly negative going into the holiday season, this year it appears to be more positive, so we may see a higher peak than last year.
