Yes, my CTR and RPM have both slumped (or should that be "trumped"?)
A shame really because my November traffic has been unexpectedly high.

My metrics have been stuck for hours, anyone else?

The metrics are OK, except for... "clicks and payment".
The "thanksgiving + Black Friday" time is now.

I see almost no ads for Black Friday! It's like a total apathy. The ads are boring and really not targeted, or there is again an inventory problem.

My ads are loading slower and slower on mobile. My site gets a mobile speed test on Google PageSpeed Insights of 96% (would be 100% if not for Google code)

[developers.google.com...]

When I view my site on my mobile even with my super fast broadband and wifi, the ads are taking a full 10 seconds to load.

Quote from Google: "Nearly half of all visitors will leave a mobile site if the pages don't load within 3 seconds"

They used to load instantly. I think it is their new way of paying me less money.

U.S traffic hardly clicks ads. If they did, I would be making over $30 daily. I wish adsense would just find a way to make those living in the U.S click ads. My CTR for U.S traffic is 0.3% & 70% of the traffic on my blog is from the U.S. While the countries which make up the remaining 30% have a CTR of over 4%

Click-through rates for U.S. visitors are above-average in my account, so it's not true that "U.S traffic hardly clicks ads." Apparently, they click less on your site(s). Perhaps the ads targeted to U.S. visitors on your site aren't as interesting. I see the same in my account, but then with countries like India, Indonesia, Japan and Mexico, where the CTR is about 1/3 of the U.S. CTR.

You'll want to make sure your content loads (well) within that timeframe; it's mostly about "DOMContentLoaded", not so much the full load time. The ads will be loaded asynchronously, so they shouldn't interfere with the user experience, unless, as I've seen on too many sites, loading the ads causes the content to jump around (while I'm reading) to make room for them.

November is performing very well for me. RPM is up by about 30% compared to last month.

Performing exceptionally well this month, looks like it's going to be a really good one. Page RPM yesterday was £4.80 and impression was £1.52. This seems to be about the average this month.

@robzilla please what's your website about?

Remember it is turkey day in US today :D

well... rip turkey!

How is your day, how is your US traffic ? traffic down 30% compare to last Thursday (usa)

I celebrated my first Thanksgiving tonight, so I was away from the stats, but it looks like traffic was down by about 12%, primarily a drop in U.S. traffic, as is to be expected. Consequently, earnings are also down, by about 25% unfortunately. November 30 was my best day last year, curious to see what it will be this year.

I forgot it was Thanksgiving in the US yesterday. Maybe that's why earnings were a little bit down on what I got used to this month, let's hope so anyway.

They used to load instantly. I think it is their new way of paying me less money.

Not sure if that was a serious comment - if so, dont forget that would also be a way for G to get less money.

Thursday was a completely normal/average day for me, PVs, clicks, earnings, the lot, BUT today, insofar as AdSense is concerned, is a complete and utter write-off, not even 30 cents so far!

However, in my realworld business today is great, more enquiries, more confirmed project orders ... retail seems to be down and out with commercial on the up and up!

Any major US holiday is usually a 20%+ traffic decrease for me. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years.

I suppose everyone is busy sitting around eating turkey rather than on the Internet

Hit the Jackpot today (if it holds) one click nearly $60.00

Wow, lowest-ever AdSense PVs yesterday with earnings not too bad BUT today PVs have totally collapsed, insofar as AdSense is concerned the sites may as well not be there however we have had two of the biggest realworld business enquiries we have ever had in 176 years!

You couldn't make this up!

You couldn't make this up!

All seems normal here, no great ups or downs allowing for seasonal factors.

Having said that though, affiliates are producing unusually high returns.

UK, informational websites.

@breeks, did it hold?

As of yesterday I'm seeing a marked improvement on my sites. I also run content.ad ads at the bottom of my content. Sometimes weird content but it had its own little explosion starting yesterday too. Hoping this doesn't fizzle in Dec.

@breeks, did it hold?

Yes still holding. Waiting for the end of the month clawback.

Fingers crossed :-)

RPMs are through the roof these days. Anyone else get that? Must be we're really getting into the Christmas shopping season.

Yesterday was great today stinks. But I'm not sure that it is Adsense. I think Google is still testing its mobile index. Yesterday 66% of my traffic was on mobile, today I am at 49%. The weekend plays a roll as I typical see more mobile users on weekends. But PVs are down and bounces rate is down, but number of sessions is in-line with yesterday.

Very good month so far, but very disappointing Cyber Monday. Anyone else seeing this, or just bad day on my side.

Cyber Mondays are always lousy in comparison to Thanksgiving and Black Friday, so it's pretty normal. Don't expect anything sensational.

People are all back to work...

Both the Cyber Mondays in 2014 and 2015 broke all my records hands down.

Geez, I didn't even know it was Cyber Monday! That explains last year's success on November 30, and this year's record-breaking November 29. I should really read up on the "holidays".

The ads are really bad => so the payment!
Cyber Monday is not a big deal.
