Will be interesting to see if this weekend has any surprises.
I'm guessing that today will come out about average and figuring that any traffic I get over the holiday weekend will be purely a bonus.
I expect that by tomorrow at this time i'll be searching for my stool and rope..
By the way, yesterday I started hunting and killing off MFA's again after cleaning most of them out of my filter list just over two months ago.

I'll take it with ease though. This month has been very good to me nevertheless.

Now this is the right attitude:-))
Roller coasters, swings and roundabouts, just so long as the metrics show a steady upwards curve in earnings.
Best example taken from my experience: Today (Saturday).
It started really really badly. But suddenly during the US afternoon it has become just another average, boring day with earnings totally normal. :)
Bottom Line: Keep cool. Always work on your website with the long term goal in mind. And never care about short-term fluctuations. They don't mean a #!%$.
May has been absolutely awful.

My earnings for May are a mere 50% of what they were in March

Not for me.....business as usual.....and as all Memorial Day Weekends in the past. Some could see a peak on Memorial weekend.....never me, just business as usual.
Thanks Giving Thursday, and Christmas day usually cause a drop for me, other than those I like all other USA holidays :)
Late night beers, out of bed very late, watched Monaco Grand Prix, watched World Superbikes, logged-on 6 hours later than usual...vegging and "I'm lovin' it".
Thanks Ronald:-)
Me too. Worse month to date. Guess when traffic drops off 50% thanks to a major site redesign coupled with Google's "Big Daddy" index (which cut the amount of pages Google indexed of the site to about 1/10th of where it was before!) and the rise of Froogle, it's only logical that AdSense earnings will tank too. Still, it's tough getting used to the low Adsense numbers. Here's to hoping June will be better!
I was about to say, this is a very heavy traveling weekend in the US. Many school districts in some states let out on wednesday or thursday, and so many people took off friday and made it a 4-day weekend.
If the weather is nice as well, it's going to really get people outdoors.
All in all, I'm very happy with yesterday. I expect today and money to be way down based on my niche.

I hear you Ann!
If your site has anything to do with a product and therefore gets much of it's traffic from search engines, perhaps you're getting hit by:
1. Big Daddy (do a site:www.example.com search and see how many pages you still have in Google. For example, before Big Daddy, I'd have 550+. Today, I'm at 48).
2. Froogle siphoning off traffic. Google one of your products by brand name, model # and see if Froogle links are now showing as the top search results (for example - canon eos)
