My CTR (even on the most successful sites) is way way down like everyone else's; what made the difference this year was increased traffic and explosive EPCs (and more sites). Interesting that Google says CPCs are down, because I'm experiencing just the opposite.

All the more reason to work on my other channels, because mine may catch up to the rest at any point.
