---- what to do about plunging click rate

If click rates go down you can try to deactivate "Interest-based ads".

I run a medical forum with high click prices.
After deactivating Interest-based ads my earnings increased.

If a user is on my site he should see medical ads fitting the content he is watching and not some ADs for shoes because he viewed a website on shoes a few times before.

I remember once (before I opted out of interest based ads with a cookie) I was searching for a toy for my niece and after that I was bombarded with toy ads for several weeks. If I would click on ads regularly many publishers would have missed out on a possible click because the toy was bought and I had no more interest in toys.

Just a thought that might be interesting for some of you ;)
