Today everything is back to "normal" for me. Here's hoping the terrible last 3 days were Google tinkering and they've "solved" and/or "ended" whatever they were playing with.

Yeah everything was back to normal for me today too, until just now they stole 75% of my earnings back. I've given up on all of my theories, the truth is they are stealing money from us, and we need to consider legal action.

Quick question, is this a safe place to express opinions, or will the almighty chop our heads off for treason?

Quite a few reports of things getting back to normal here. I so wish I could say the same but not yet :(

Yesterday ended with only 10% RPM recovery. Still sitting at 60% less RPM.

Absolutely bizarre metrics yesterday and so far today with PVs well down and CTR almost doubled however it's not translating through to better earnings.
G's numbers do not marry-up with mine at all. Whatever animal they've let on the loose seems to be causing me mayhem.

Forget what I said about 10% RPM recovery for yesterday. Today it's down again by 70%. Not looking good...

In the early morning around midnight everything looked normal, when I woke up it was tanked again. RPM is usually around $9-$11 but now im stuck in the $2-$3, cpc has cut in half and my traffic has remained same but that's because I use social media to get traffic.
This is only my third month doing this and it's been a roller coaster! Not happy this month at all.

Welcome to the world of Adsense! It is not for the faint of heart.

Since no one has answered my question I'll assume this is not a safe place to talk. Goodbye.

The only thing I got a friendly warning for was mentioning commercial software, or posting URLs. Other than that, I don't see what the problem with you ask a question would be

I've had a few posts deleted in the past under various guises when I've gotten a bit excited but keep it clean and on-topic and you should be ok.
I'm interested, what is it?

This is my existence of adsense, is this #*$! crazy?! Is this what yours looks like?
As the day starts, RPM is showing 10% recovery again. I'm just hoping for it to go up more.

Here's a first for me...tablets out-earned desktop on Sunday.
Mobile EPC was the top EPC plus yet another good CTR day...this is all going to end in a mess, I just know it!

Back to normal the past few days. CTR way up, and while CPC is down my revenue is up.

My 300x250 ad sometimes expanded to 560x250 (Text ads) or following my article area width. It's strange, since the ad code isn't responsive. Anyone also experienced this?

Yes, it's normal. It can be blocked via Allow and Block Ads ==> Ad Serving. There are options to block other things too, like clickable arrows or animated ads.

Yesterday was the best day o the month, but today, Google want to take back the money, so payment is record low!
