@redbar : it might be because of November 1st (holiday, in lot of countries) + US election + victory of Trump + November 11th (holiday too).

It might also be because there was an earhtquake off New Zealand, the sun is shining in Australia and snow has started falling in some resorts or a combination of all kinds of sporting events have kept people otherwise occupied. I'm not looking for an explanation, I'm simply making an observation.

I'll try and make a predicition, November 24th wil be even lower.

True! Thanksgiving is never good for pageviews. Especially if you have American traffic :D

I've had a few odd days in November.

9th was my worst day this year, but 10th was one of my best.
12th was my second worst day this year, but 13th was my best day this year.

Maybe it was a case of delayed reporting with income falling into the next day?

Anyone notice drop in traffic today compare to other mondays ?

A really good day so far. RPM through the roof.

It won't last but that's Adsense.

Since the election (Nov 9) my pageviews in my Adsense reports have been double (about the same as ad impressions). I can't send an email to Google (selecting "Help" from top right corner on reports page) because after completing the form, I get an error in the Adsense Publisher ID "Please try reformatting" . Is there some other way of getting a message to Google?

I found another way of getting a message to Google. By selecting "Send Feedback" from the icon in the top right corner, while in reports.
Although they didn't reply to me, they fixed the problem with excess pageviews within 12 hrs.

An odd thing that I noticed since 3 years.

With adsense I earn 100 per day (this is an arbitrary unit, I am not earning $100, I wish I would :-D ). This is rather constant +/- 20 % , which I think is perfectly normal fluctuation. However, the odd thing is, that each day, there is one bigger click than the others, like 60 or 70 at once. So more than half of my income is achieved through one single click. But, this click is never from the same country. One day, it will be from the USA, another day Spain, the next day Japan, etc. But it ALWAYS occurs (at different times of the day). I find this so odd.

This is like Adsense is saying, your traffic deserves to earn 100, so we give you roughly 100 "somehow".

@Dimitri, I think what you are seeing has to do with the dynamics of your site within your particular niche. I think what may be occurring is that you have a set of advertisers that are specifically targeting your site and your niche, but the demand is not sufficient to fill all your inventory. So the remaining inventory (lets call it open inventory) is filled with ads that are either interest based or not targeted at all and thus have a much lower RPM. It maybe that you open inventory accounts for a large percentage of the total. So clicks on the targeted inventory tend to be few. Once a day in your case. Clicks on the open inventory occur more frequently but account for far less of your earning have less on an impact.

Hi NickMNS, your explanations make sense, thank you for your enlightenment!

Today is an awesome day! I wonder why though ?

Adsense earnings for me are really at a point now where they cannot sustain what I have going. I would suggest that I need 8 or 9 months to make what I made in 1 month not that long ago. As I've been doing, my shift is fully underway away from believing this is a venture worth investing into now. Google organic traffic --> traffic clicking Adsense ads is for me, on a downward path and then some. A new search engine in town might change some feelings but as it is, I have gone so far south it is like the early days when I would be thrilled to have these earnings. I know better now. I may have to investigate because it's going so poorly. I did notice viewing one of my site with Firefox, all the ad spots were blank, but Chrome was showing the ads. Meh. Most of my sites running this business model are parked pages to me so I'm reluctant to fret over it. Letting most expire.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday have been my worst-ever three days with Wednesday my lowest-ever and as for the USA, zero clicks for me, completely fubard.

Actual traffic and real-world enquiries are normal.

Yesterday (Wednesday), was my first "good" day, since 2 weeks. Hope things continue like that.

My earnings seem to be stuck today, anyone else?

Seeing same here

For several hours my earnings are not moving. The number stays the same, even though the traffic is steady as always. Anyone seeing the same bug?

Also seeing the same - glad its not just me.

DITTO

I'm back up to date now. I think!

Some hours remaining (US audience), and that is my best day of the whole year! After 2-3 weeks bellow average, this is relieving,... a bit, because I know it doesn' t mean it will stay like that.

November is treating me well. My peak of the year has officially started and will continue for next four weeks or so. Gonna save it all to get through January, February lowest part of the year for me.

wtf when I want to login to Adsense it opens

"Google AdSense Terms & Conditions and Program Policies

All AdSense publishers must agree to the AdSense Terms & Conditions and are required to follow the AdSense Program Policies."

then

"Yes, I have read and accept the Agreement.
(You represent that you are an administrator for this Account and that you are authorized to act on behalf of, and bind to this Agreement, the owner of this Account.)
Ask me the next time I log in.
(Note: If these Terms and Conditions are not accepted, you will not be able to continue using AdSense.)"

but I accept and it just reloads but to this same page

WhoKnows111, this is happening to me also along with many other Australian Adsense publishers. A lot of people have posted about the problem over at the Adsense Help Forum. Seems to mainly hitting Australian publishers. We've all tried several browsers and computers, cleared cache, cookies etc but the problem remains. Been like it for at least 7 or 8 hours now. But, I can still access stats use the Google phone app and my sites are still generating revenue.

Same thing happening for me

Yea I later found too that a lot of people - main from Australia - have the same issue

Mobile app works for me fine too

Well for me November is a nightmare.
Started slow and going down.

Payment is abysmal.

November is being utterly opposite to AdSense for my realworld business, the fewer AdSense PVs I get and the less I earn, the more realworld business I win to the extent that this past week has seen our most successful-ever week with hundreds of container loads for several different international projects having been signed.

What is interesting is that none are for the USA nor do we have any in the pipeline for the US, now there IS a similarity with the US.

Niche, speciality construction products.

On 8th of November, Google changed something again.
My CTR has gone down from 0.8% to 0.6% and it stays there.

This is "the Donald" effect?
