Awful EPC Today

[WallyWorld]

My EPC today is running between 2 and 4 cents today. This is about the lowest I have ever seen for more than just a few clicks. Anyone else experiencing big EPC declines today?

[jetteroheller]

EPC is in good range, but CTR of my main income site (30% of revenues) is totday bad.

After EPC's, today it's CTR nosediving time for me. In a few days I'll have to ask Google for his bank account to send him my first EFT :-)

[SilverSiR]

CTR is down a full percent while CPM is holding just below average.

Check for MFA & MFY sites and block them.

They will pull down your EPC.

See [webmasterworld.com...] message 6 for instructions.

Friday before the New York City marathon--always a down day. Everyone is distracted, either preparing for the race or feverishly reading up on the contenders.

But seriously, things look pretty normal on my site.

MAJOR drop in eCPM for me, nothing I could do about it, same advertisers, etc. sigh..

[sezampicika]

My eCPM and CPC are very good today.
I am pretty happy. I have made some changes using channels (first time I use them:-)).

And results are good.

I don't know what's happening but I also see a HUGE eCPM drop for this day. Lowest day in earnings for three weeks! My CTR is normal.

[George Cooper]

My CPM and EPC sucked pretty badly earlier, but have returned to normal now. Initially I thought it was due to the problems they had yesterday but now my guess is that it's just the usual sporadic lag in the stats.

[malasorte]

I have no MFA & MFY ads, just my ussual ads. What is happening?! This thread can't be just a coincidence...

[andrea99]

Often I enjoy being contrary just to be contrary but today it is particularly sweet.

EPC is way up and it appears to maybe being a record day, but sadly this AdSense game is zero-sum.

My sympathies to those on the other side of this, I've been there often. AdSense roullette, you win some, you lose some.

My CTR has dropped suddenly by 40% of "normal" earnings for the past year - which naturally also substantially drops my eCPM & total earnings.

Advertisers appear to be all the same & paying roughly the same per click...

VERY suspicious that is occuring at same time Google has updated their TOS...

I guess we have to wait and see what shakes out... could be just one of those things again... and will return to "normal" after a few days...

Hopefully... or maybe even get BETTER while I'm hoping!

EPC and eCPM are running slightly lower than in October, but that's normal for my travel-planning site (where traffic and revenues are usually at their lowest in November and December).

[alwaysthinking]

I knew it was too soon to jump on this topic... It appears that my CTR is coming up to "normal" after catching up...

I suppose maybe my stats "were stuck" on "early morning" hours when the foreigners that visit don't seem to want to click on Google ads very much - they just want to leech my free information... Perhaps Google stopped some stats while installing new login page?

Oh well... everything seems to bbe back to "normal" for me... DANG... I was hoping for even BETTER but I don't want to be greedy!

[WallyWorld]

My EPC has run less than a nickle a click for the whole day. Maybe Google is getting ready to can me. At least that would save me from more of this pain.

[pcgamez]

Mine is slowly coming up as the day goes on. Right now my epcm is still ~20% below average. I woould not start worrying unless this occured for at least a week.

[Mentat]

For me November started with a bad record, but now eCPM is back to normal :)
Also my traffic is unusual high for friday night
