Supposedly there was an algo update 9th March 2018. Leaving out 1st January, for Saturday and Sunday I have just had my two lowest PVs of 2018 both of which easily rank in my lowest-ever ten of all time including Xmas periods.

Fubard again!

Earnings yesterday reached double figures. I've had one click so far today which isn't surprising because it's still early in the morning in the US where most of my traffic comes from. However, this one click is showing 42p CPC. I know it won't stay like that as I get more clicks but it's quite nice to see it so high.

I'm seeing a 10% decrease (WoW) in RPM today on 15 million impressions. Mostly CTR driven. Will probably be 15% by EoD.

Anyone else seeing this?

15 million impressions for one day or is that the month?

Thats a lot of traffic.

Daily, across many sites.

Had to clarify as 10% is reasonable fluctuation on a smaller base of traffic.

False alarm. Lag issue in Adsense reporting that has been resolved by Google.

AdSense is performing really pathetic. March is half over but still no solid recovery, is something wrong with my account? The performance was good on 11th March but dropped by 32% on 12th, with more traffic lol.

Also, is this Ad Experience thing ever going to be reviewed?

What is up with these lag issues in Adsense reporting as of late? Seeing it again tonight and it's like the fourth or fifth time this month.

Analytics reporting delayed by 3 hours, and AdSense reporting seems to be delayed as well.

@MayankParmar
Both my adsense and analytics are delayed
Well, I hope they are anyway as they are both extremely low numbers so far!

Anyone else's Adsense RPM and earnings down today?
Mine are about two-thirds what I would expect them to be given the current level of PVs

@Robbo55 Seems fine now.

Anyone ever received email titled "Drop in revenues? Start earning with AdSense again". "We notice that you’re not currently earning money from AdSense ads on your site".

WHAT?!

Also, is this Ad Experience thing ever going to be reviewed?

Maybe they started with the most egregious offenders and are working their way to the cleanest sites.

today, according ga for the first time ever I think, I'm getting 98% coverage (and I have ad balance at 88%)

Google ads are loading unbelievably slow, seemingly hanging on 'doubleclick.net' in the status bar, anyone else having similar problems ?

@Robbo55 Mine seem normal. Pacing slightly lower than yesterday.

@Nightmute @MayankParmar
My mobile and tablet RPMs are way down today - desktop seems about normal
I enabled AMP yesterday but not having all that many readers on AMP
Any ideas on why mobile and tablet RPS are less than half their normal levels?
Looks like a bug to me

@julesuk Yes have same problem. Slow loading. I am waiting also 10 seconds to load my website.

Once you enable AMP, it takes some time for Google to start shifting readers to AMP pages. (This is if you rely on organic search). I would give it at a minimum 2 month+ for that front, I am still seeing changing trends after 6 months since I first adapted it. It also depends on niche and audience too. I have dabbled in AMP with a few of my properties for experimental purposes, only 1 stand out in terms of AMP inbound traffic.

There were some major movements on the search organics front this past weekend. I gained some and lost some with different properties, and got a roughly slight negative in terms of traffic and earning. That might coincide with certain major moves people saw this past week.

I am seeing recovering RPM's this last leg of 1st quarter. I expect the strength to continue until this quarter ends.

@frankleeceo
Thanks for that - that's really helpful
I still don't understand the drop in RPM for non-AMP pages on mobile, as well as on tablet for today though
My traffic is down around 20-25% since the end of last week - could be the algo update from Google

@Robbo55
Be sure to include:

<link rel="amphtml" href="https://www.example.com/url/to/amp/document.html">

On your pages that have amp equivalent amp versions. This will let Googlebot know that an AMP version exists.

@julesuk , Bobb11- I'm also seeing huge delay on google ads loading , like 20+ seconds, looks like it some major bug in Adsense. googleads.g. doubleclick. net - this shows Waiting for infinity

Another one here experiencing slow loading ads!

Can confirm. According to GA, page load time is 30-40s since last couple of hours. AdSense ad is 'waiting...' and it keeps on waiting!

me too. i've got two sites on a dedicated server and the site without ads is loading fine, but the one with adsense is ridiculously slow. pages on the same site without ads load fine - so it must be at google's end

Something's up. RPM has been dropping steadily all day. But I did a major site upgrade so I blind now. I don't know if my variations are site specific due to changes or systemic or both. I'm seeing a drop in AdWords impressions replaced by 3rd parties. Oddly overall coverage is high, well above my ad-balance settings. So I don't know what to make of this.

From ad-review -> This might explain things:

After navigate to the next page and come back then the ad displays correctly. So this appears to be system issue and not advertiser specific.

Same problem here with ads loading very slowly
That probably explains why my rpm is so low today
Is it just me or has Adsense had more problems than usual so far in 2018? Always seems to be a delay or bug...

For me, only leaderboards are slow to load.

I don't know. Adsense completely fell off a cliff Aug 7/8 2017.

Those days drove me to make an account and start posting here.
