Yesterday was amazingly good. Fingers crossed for a repeat today.

Totally in the toilet here, the last 3 days combined haven't made an average August day which is already my worst month of the year plus today's EPC is pathetic, 10 cents a click for products that cost thousands of Dollars.
It looks like the end of the AdSense game for me. I think I'll take up blackhatting and spam Google to death, it's all they seem to want!

Took a closer look at why my epc is down this month, even excluding the 6th-8th mess. It's the ad links. They automatically increased in size - at least for me - on the 4th and have attracted a lot more clicks. Their epc is about half of regular ads, making my aggregate epc look worse than it has been - but their ctr is really high. Overall, my RPM is up , so it's good.

28th August was the best day in August! :D Views up 30% and earning 50% than this month's average. Even in July end, I had similar results but August ruined everything. Hopefully, September will have some good news.
USA traffic still not back to normal.

You're like a broken record :-)
Certainly seeing some side-effects of Harvey in traffic and revenue reports; about a 25% drop in the US.

Believe this or not I have not mentioned this in more than a year since my earnings have been increasing more and more over 2016, not good earnings like they used to be but enough to warrant keeping AdSense on my sites, however this month is an utter disaster and if this were to continue into September, AdSense would be pretty pointless for me.
So far in August I am -21% v 2016 with the last 7 days -31% v the previous 7 days, that's how bad it has been BUT this morning I have already had one clcik from the USA worth more than all of Monday's earnings ... fingers crossed people are actually returning to work and clicking.

@Redbar it wouldn't be the same around here if we didn't see you threatening to quit AdSense every few days :-)

RedBar is like my mother-in-law, who constantly threatens to never speak to me again. Unfortunately she never keeps her word.
Yesterday was much better for me, with an RPM well above recent averages, and today has started off in a similar vein. Let's hope it stays this way through September.

Hmmm ... which bit of "I have not mentioned this in more than a year" did you miss? :-)
Knowing that many in my European widget industry are back at work this week I thought today would be showing better traffic numbers, not as yet.
Certainly, and understandably, Texas and Louisiana trade enquiries have completely ground to a halt for the moment however, as is usual with this type of disaster, we shall expect higher than regular demand as reconstruction/repairs get under way with none of the orders driven by AdSense or any other type of online advertising.

RPM of august overall is 20% higher than of july. This was probably because of back to school campaigns. I am expecting september rpm to be slightly lower or equal to august. This year is shaping up to be great.

28th and 29th were really good thanks to 30% increase in traffic. While today, the page views is back to normal but the earning is still very good. Looks like September is going to be an awesome month if it continues :D

My balance is in -9$. In transaction i see from one day Invalid traffic. It will be other summary end of the month for Invalid traffic or will stay on -9$. I dont know what it is, because i never have this before end of month.

August earnings should be around 15% higher than July's which is very encouraging.

Nice, people get votes for slating other posters:-)))
The reality of August for me, my third lowest-ever earnings, the other two being December 2016 and the lowest June 2016.
