Do you see a considerable drop in CTR today?
Mine is lower 40 percent. I don't know if they are updated late or so. But was wondering about if your's is lower too.
Thank you.
By the way, I don't think anyone can make comments with one-day stats data. Look for the whole week - at least.
What spamming are you talking about?
If the stats are delayed that's a different issue, but was just wondering. Few days ago I had made some changes and don't know if because of the changes it shows less relevant ads or it's a common dealy today.
I have written them telling them as much and they really don't seem to care. Just canned emails in response telling me that the "technology" is in charge and they can't do a thing about it.
Typical for them.
In other words, if I was getting (for example) 10 clicks a day, today I got only 6.
Do I need to explain here what it means to go down by 40 percent? :-))
Started on Tuesday with a 10% drop.
Continued on Wednesday to Friday with a 15-20% drop.
Today it is back to a 10% drop.
Normally my CTR is stable within .1 to .2 per cent.
No significant changes have occurred on the site. Traffic has been stable. No ad changes. EPC has also been very stable.
Since my site is a reasonable size (over 1 million "Google page impressions" per month) and probably provides a more reliable measure than smaller sites which show a much greater day to day variation in traffic and CTR, it seems rather obvious that something significant is happening. I understand that something is happening over at AdWords.
Other personal obligations, however, have prevented me from seriously looking into it. Will attempt to do so next week if the answers have not already become apparent.
