I'm only getting the lovely "two ad" format in the four ad blocks today, and epc, ctr are both down. Anyone else noticing a switch?

Maybe people aren't advertising in your sector at the mo... I've seen sometimes on some of our less-text-intesive sites, Google cuts down on the number of ads it displays. There seems to be a real link between the quantity of decent content, and the chance of getting all ad units full. Oddly, but understandably, pages that have mainly links on (like news headlines) often have ad units empty or partly missing. I guess this is an attempt to not advertise on link-farms. Generally, we always try to display some decent text content on all of our pages, and this reduces the chance of this happening.

Oop - didn't really answer your question, but the answer was no - haven't noticed any change in ads, or partially showing ads.
