Yesterday was the best day since April Fool's day but it's still only about 50% of my best ever day. Nice post Jenstar. Well spotted about the possibility of the A*sonar launch being behind possible changes at Adsense (though I don't believe much of what A*sonar say anymore). Your post has sent Adsense crashing. Everybody's now checking their stats and the Adsense page is not currently accessible :(

Haven't broken any personal earnings records this week, but my earning are back to average levels. I applied to **** last week but never received a confirmation e-mail. I assume they only reply if you get accepted?

That's rude surely! If someone's taken the time and trouble to fill in the form on the site the least you can do is say thank you. Or setup an autoresponder to say thanks. I've filled in several applications on the A*sonar site using different URLs and different traffic figures thinking that if my traffic fell in one of the higher categories they would be more likely to reply. Not a chance. So these guys can't keep a schedule, can't do what they say they'll do - even if that's their own launch, and don't know how to setup an autoresponder. Hmm But I digress. I am happy to say that Adsense stats are available again. I'll keep an eye on how things pan out today earnings wise. As some have said, it'll take a few days before we know that Google has made some big changes. Jenstar, I hope you are correct.

One day does not the stats make....better than beginning of the month but still down to 3 month averages. Will wait and see if a bump in the road (read stalling tatic) by google or a reversal of some of the algo changes. Have learned one thing about the stats, that is that they are volitile at the best of times...at least the way that google gives them to us.

Monday was ok and tuesday was decent. However, EPC has been reduced substantially, about 40%. My site is extremely well defined and, when the adsense targeting is ok, pulls exactly the right kind of ads. Lately, targeting has been horrible. I didn't use the url filter before 4/2/04 and now have exhausted the 200 url limit. EPC has never been lower and I can only guess that irrelevant ads have resulted in a readjustment of my payout---all because adsense is generating off-topic ad placement leading to clicks which have a lower conversion rate for advertisers.
Who knows what Google is thinking. Someone else who posted had it right, though. They don't seem to be in a rush to fix this and, consequently, you can infer that they don't have very high regard for the publishers who host their ads. When a good alternative comes out of yahoo or msn, google will most likely suffer a massive defection, simply because they have squandered and destroyed a lot of good faith.

Up compared to first days of April but still down. It seems like they adjusted the dial. Now I'm only down 20% from March averages.

My EPC is rising however, is only at about 45 % of my pre-April 1 EPC. I beleve these increases are up because of my efforts to filter non-relevant ads and by removing Adwords from poorly preforming pages.

monday was my all time high, since april first i was averaging 250% increase in revenues. Looks like CTR and revenues have gone down the drain since yesterday.

Due to a site getting very competitive online 'gaming' ads Tuesday, we hit our first five figure day today! (just barely) Don't know if it will stay though. Hope it does.

Five figure day? 18M run rate? that's what i'm talking about... congrats. I hear these kind of numbers and all I can think is how big is the overall AdSense pie? (sorry for the off topic post.)

For average daily income, April has been my best month yet. Tuesday was strong for me although not a record.

Based on the posts, it sems to have some changes on Adsense earnings during the last couple of days. I have two questions to ask Jenstar:
1. Are you unofficially the Adsense insider?
2. What is your status of Adsense earnings now comparing to prior April 1, 2004? So, you like to hear about other people's status but you don't want to tell yours.

For my account, today's stats have not been posted yet. Wouldn't this mean that the stats from yesterday (April 13th) are not finished updating yet? If it is finished, then yesterday was well below the average for the month. :( Has everyone here seen updates for today already or do I have the odd ball account with no updates? Keesha

keesha, updating has been getting increasingly flaky and delayed. On one smaller site I have with lower Adsense earnings stats are updated quite regularly. On a larger site I have the updating has been getting slower and slower.

No, I am definitely not on the inside at Google AdSense, lol. But anytime things change in AdSense for better or for worse, I tend to get a flurry of stickies, emails and instant messages. There was nothing "insider" in my post, but it was my own perspective after hearing from several about having record earnings on Tuesday. | 2.

There are many, many, many threads in this forum where I have discussed my own account of how my earnings are, when members are discussing highs and lows in thee various stats. My stats are updated and I also saw record high earnings for Tuesday.

Regarding Tuesday April 13, highest rev day for me. In fact, April has been the best ding dang diddly month .. (have been with Adsense since the beginning). Guess I've been pretty lucky with the recent changes. Lately traffic up (lucked out with last G algo and PR change) .. for Adsense, EPC up, CTR up (better targeting?) ..have made no significant page design changes .. in fact I've actually reduced the "in your face" exposure I was giving Adsense on some pages. Wide range of sites BTW .. not overtly commercial in nature (i.e. not "review" sites) .. generally educational .. low graphics, "just the facts" info, directory style. One more hint .. my SEARCH pages do VERY well.

Tuesday was a record low - the lowest day for me since November 2, 2003, when I was just ramping up (ie- had not had AdSense on all my pages).

hey, my "grassy knoll" statement was ever so slightly tongue in cheek! Google is getting bashed in an unbelievable way on these forums over the last few weeks - I too am happy to see the flip side of the coin. Don't think we should all forget what we "owe" (not only) google over the last few years...

Have been an avid supporter of google, their business philosophies and approaches up until recently. Their shift in certain areas have drawn the "wrath" of their partners over the past few weeks, some deserved, some percieved. However it seems to me that changing a business relationship on a few hours notice is heavy handed to say the least. The letter was "smoke and mirrors", nothing of substance and not directly related to me. If they had taken the time to project the impact to "my site" (read revenue) I could have made a business decision based on this information. Sending me a form letter that gives me no direct information as to "my" impact is totally out of line in my opinion. In my opinion they deserve "the bashing" to perhaps understand that they have optioned their business model to now include individuals as business partners. Like I said previously we will evaluate the algo changes, long enough to determine the impact, good or bad, then determine a course of action that maximizes our available ad space. When and if google doesn't give us a higher return then we will have no qualms about moving on. Their recent attitudes and secrecy towards the publishing community has ensured we will have "no loyalty" to them in the future. I certainly hope they have reversed some of their algo changes of earlier this month, and certainly hope if they have that they will come forward and tell us that. They have managed to get "public exposure" this month with Gmail and adsense changes. Like they say "don't matter how bad the press....its press".

My Tuesday stats were about average of what I was getting prior to April 1. This month so far has been 20-25% below my previous long term average (since June 2003).
