So, is it depress.ion or elat.ion today?
Well I would like an explanat.ion why my EPC is in submiss.ion and heading for submers.ion ;-)
It's demoralising to work harder, become more successful in every other way, and yet earn half of what we were last year. This year we have a few million extra members and traffic is doing better, we have our own Youtube channel that's become the number 1 subscribed and rated tech channel and yet we're still earning half of what we were last year.
There have been lags in UPDAT.ION lately, but they usually are caught up by this time of day. I really hope there is just a serious lag today.

Without these threads, I'd visit WebmasterWorld about 1/10 of the times that I do, which will be the case for many visitors. I'm sure the admins are aware of it and that's why these threads aren't banned.
If something is so useful to so many readers, then I don't see why so many others have an issue with it and why they feel the need to stick their nose in and whinge.
Yes...some of us are actually living off our Adsense earnings and it IS helpful to know that it's a problem on Google's end...and not something we as publishers have done.
Thank you for this thread. I hope everything returns to normal soon. In the meantime...I am off building sites with NO Adsense at all. =)

Huh? What are those... NON.sense? ;)
Just want to say my CTR is in the toilet today as well.
ditto... CTR is at an all time low and might I add the view from down here in the toilet is pretty sh.itty.
Pretty impressive actually HuskyPup. Very clever! =)
What's the joke? I've evidently been absent and missed it
It's Husky's fault ;) His pass.ion and preoccupat.ion for "stuck stats" reporting causes massive adulterat.ion of sensible thought and discuss.ion.
Which is WHY I love these "stuck stats" threads. In the midst of CTR and eCPM discombobulat.ion, it's good to have a chuckle or two. Not much else you can do...
But back to the topic - this is turning out to be a totally sh.itty day. Impressions are moving. Nothing else is. Google needs a new plunger to clear this constipat.ion pronto. Could be I've been dumb-priced because I had a super-fantastic day 3 days ago (3rd highest earnings of all time).

What a coincidence, me too. They've got to get us back down to our allotted average, how dare we.
Glass Ceiling? Say it aint so!
Speculat.ion. congratulat.ion and adulat.ion to me
After the constipat.ion and estimat.ion
Thursday was well above expectat.ion
However today's evaulation
Is looking more like penalisat.ion
Henceforth I make this proclamat.ion
When we have such a conversat.ion
That it shall now be renamed Updat.ion Cessat.ion
;-)
This time, however, it's different. I have checked the obits and nobody has died that would affect my stats, unless, maybe this: Art Clokey, Animator Who Created Gumby, Dies at 88.
What's Pokey going to do now?
I think my success is more due to karma and the time of year than anything else right now.
My stats are all higher over the past week.
That's interesting since after I bellyached on the 14th that I was heading for my worst month ever the following has happened 1st to 13th v 14th to 21st:
Clicks +18.2%
CTR +22.7%
eCPM +30%
Earnings +26.25%
Something changed, whether it was me removing AdSense from two pages which are under constant bombardment from Google image search I doubt since actual clicks are up however has removing those two pages improved CTR and eCPM, I believe so, has this increased my EPC, possibly so, only two things are certain, actual clicks have increased and the average variation for all my metrics have tightened-up considerably to where I would normally expect them to be.
