CTR hasn't moved all day for me while impressions climb. After 5 pm EST in the US.

Still CTR is 0 as impressions climb. Dead stuck ALL day, which means no recovery like usual.

I made a couple of comments in the earnings and observations thread earlier. Something went down after a period of stuck-ness this morning and then I saw a quick click dump following that.

My dump consisted of 4 clicks from India, yeah, right Google.

AdSense is DEAD. I know I've said this before, but I'm transitioning them completely off my site.

DEAD?
Does just one single US click define dead?
THE lowest of any low ever, did I really used to get up to 1,000 clicks a day?
This is so fubard they've even broken the REDBAR! Where is it?

Yes, this is very strange, I've seen several different times when I'm sure clicks/revenues were delayed but no red bar (like G is just not bothering with it anymore). Today, was hung all morning and then, as I reported, the whole system seemed to go offline for a short while. That was followed by a minor click dump. Since that time, I haven't seen a single click but impressions keep going up. Something's up.

The red bar shows up when you try to look at TODAY's performance (whatever day is today) and it shows up when reports are delayed. If your stats seem stuck, try looking at a performance report for the current date. That's where is shows up for me anyway. Having said that, I'm wondering if G is dispensing with that or at least that it only shows up during certain types of delayed reporting events. It's common around the first of the month during the transition from one month to the next when earnings are being finalized for example.

Well, I have a 42,000 page website that has always been quite active. Page views are down 66% this month from last and my income is in the very low two digits. Something is VERY wrong. And that isn't even mentioning rock bottom RPM!

Warning: This is a rant, leave now if you don't want to listen.
Not trying to troll. That being said, you guys are claiming XX,XXX visitors, but XX income. I'm not buying it. I'm not seeing it here. I manage now around 20 different sites, 7 of which belong to me. Oh sure, adsense revenues aren't what they were XX years ago...but if you are THAT unhappy with adsense, there are places like BuySellAds. I'm getting 2-3 bucks RPM for most sites, and my absolute LOWEST site is getting $1.50 RPM and a 0.5% CTR. What i'm seeing isn't matching up with some of the complaints i'm seeing here. Could i be wrong? Oh sure! I hope i am actually. My niche on my weakest website is incredibly niche. Competition is incredibly low on every keyword, and it's predominantly occupied by CPM ads. If you are making less than the website i mentioned above you should be on other sources and stop trolling this board. I understand you are frustrated, we all are, but saying the same thing day after day, month after month doesn't help webmasterworld at all. it's like the spammers saying 'i've been banned, HELP!' constantly.

So now people who are reporting their experiences are considered "trolls?" Unless you can point to someone's outright lie, I would be very careful before I call someone a "troll." I'm finished with this website!

azlinda, while i will resist the temptation to harass you and say that I think you are full of it when you say that an 8 year old member is now somehow 'done with this website' because of the words of a 5 month old member, I'll instead say that you have to understand that what i'm getting at is the fact that the regulars here are scaring the noobs and pros off alike by making things seem far worse then they actually are. Is adsense having problems? Oh yes definitely! I remember getting $20-$30 per thousand people. Is google still the top dog in the advertising market? Hell yes! I'm just trying to get folks to realize that by moaning and groaning that #*$! is bad....you aren't helping anything, you are only hurting this forum and adsense in general.

What is it to you? Let people share their frustration. If you don't like this thread check some other ones.

I use adsense and ADX. Yesterday all my ADX figures had -10%, no change in traffic.
Adsense low and steady.

The last couple of days, I'm seeing a pattern. I know Adsense reporting isn't real-time but what I'm seeing is periods of no activity bordered by what appear to be click dumps e.g. I'll wake up to a few clicks then nothing until noon or so, then another batch of clicks arrives, then it's quiet again for several hours and then another batch of clicks arrives all at once. Seems like it's happening about 5 times a day or so but who's counting? No red bar during any of this though as far as I can tell. Just feels like things are being processed in regular batches right now. Who knows, that could be a good thing.
Oh, then there's also the possibility, that it's all in my head, LOL.

Unfortunately for you my stats look incredibly normal at the moment, have yours moved yet?
I'm tending only to look a couple of times a day or so with all the mess-ups they've been having.

Something just snapped. Decent size click dump just hit and seems to be rolling on (well either that or a bot) ;) Seen three jumps in the last couple of minutes. Wondering if G decided to get rid of the red bar. Adsense has be dead all day and now it's like it's processing backed up clicks. At least for me.

Yup, been hung up all day here. Had some early clicks, then nothing. Just saw a click roll in about 20 minutes ago, so maybe there about to dump some more in. Fingers crossed. Have seen this pattern for a week or so now...nothing for hours then a click dump. Seems like there are reporting delays but no "Red Bar" is showing when this is happening. Otherwise having a great month.
