It's not a fix-all, but try adjusting Ad Balance or manually reviewing the ads/accounts in the Ad Review Center to try and flush them out. You wont get all of them but you will at least feel better for trying : /

I've given up. I still have the ad-balance adjusted, but I stopped reviewing ads. I took up too much time and in the end was futile. Nobody seems to care either way.

This month has been my best January ever, I even earned more than last month. But the gain is entirely due to an increase in traffic. RPM was down significantly from December but it is January and thus expected. Let's see if the traffic sticks around long enough to get to a decent RPM month.

I'm down 38% from January and 33% from this time last year. Depressing, no end in sight.

Are stats stuck or is there some kind of issue with reporting? Because there's a 75% drop in earnings that started sometime yesterday.

My ads are mainly ads links
Are other types also affected?

Few days ago I went nearly a full 24 hours without a single click. Following day, one of the best of the year. I guess things get stuck sometimes. Or maybe not. Could be a coincidence.

Last week was actually pretty great, in fact, but today we're back down. So goes the Adsense life!

The difference to the other years is that Adsence was more ‚transparent,. I use to have a monthly call from a dedicated account manager to optimize my sites.
For the last 12 months just a silence leaving publishers without any guidance selling us auto ads as the solution for our frustration.

The system has problems resulting for me with a click with a value of USD 190 some weeks ago (no fake news!) .

My click rate is still very high for years now with a double digit RPM. My ads view coverage is over 60 %.
But the core SEO update cannot explain this dramatic drop.

So Adsense should either filter publishers and be more cooperative with the remaining publishers or it will find itself alone someday.

It looks now that the losses of yesterday have been compensated this morning....What a chaos

Well, for me it seems that today Ad manager is stuck for the last half of the day.

Zero click for the last 8 hours

Still really bad here. Nothing compensated. The other third party ads running on my site are doing great. Seems to be JUST adsense.

Is this nightmare ever going to end? I've basically had RPM and revenue cut in half. Plenty of traffic, fair number of clicks, but CPC is in the range of 40-65% lower than what it was in August.

I didn't notice at the time because I was in the process of moving, but September-December were not good. January was a mess, but February has started out as the worst of all. Just dismal.

And, yes, as Frost Angel mentioned, it's just Adsense.

This month, Exponential has dropped to a greater degree than Adsense. The fill rate is down from 21% to 13%. eCPM is down from $6 to $2.

These are the lowest revenues I have seen for a Monday since 2006.
Are the stats down?

Today is already the best Adsense day of the year and there's still 4 hours to go! I guess that means tomorrow will be terrible. LOL.

Feb so far 30% down compared to 2019, with lower RPM in all markets. Traffic stable.

I wonder if the sudden Adsense uptick in the USA this week is related to Valentines Day...

Where did everybody go? This thread used to be very active. Now, a few posts here and there. No posts for two full days? Is this the end of Adsense as "reliable" revenue? Is everyone depressed and giving up?

Very strange.

Sissi

Was thinking the same
Some are probably happy because of the improvements during the last 3 or 4 days
Some others are just tired.

The problem with this place is that this is difficult to learn and understand the challenges with Adsense:
- different geographies
- different sectors
- different qualities of websites discussed
And last not least no idea if a message is related to a website which makes 1 cent a day or 500 usd a day.

How about websites that get no clicks a day? That's my current situation at 1:35 pm ET. Odd, very odd.

Things are not great for us, but they aren't rock bottom terrible either I suppose.
