After the Huge drop in income.

I am getting PSA's today

[chikung]

There a huge drop in CTR as well as CPM since 1st November. I filtered some ads today and now its showing PSA. Does that mean nobody want to pust advertisements on my site?

I haven't put any URL's to my filter list and I also see lots of PSA's...

And my site has lots of qulity content.

I just checked my PSA count.

All within normal parameters, even some percent less than in October.

Since I lead every PSA over my own server, I have an exact statistic what from my pages are showing PSA replacements.

The average is 2,1% PSA shown

I am also noticing PSAs. What is going on with Adsense lately?

I just checked my PSA count.

Do you mind sharing how to check the PSA count. Thank you in advance.

The PSA address is

[my-server.com...]

service.pl creates the PSA replacement.

PSA count is simple a statistic over the referers from my-server.com listing only the lines with "psa="

90 my-site-showing-psa/folder/file.htm
50 my-site-showing-psa/other-folder/other-file.htm

Chikung,

Are you sure your site is in a supported language?

The rules said if it wasn't you would either not get paid for ads for content clicks or you would be shown only psa's.

I just dropped 9/10 I should be having 90 dollars now we have 9.

GOOGLE SERPS show supplementals in search terms as #1. One can only hope this is a effup.

They must be loosing bucketloads of cash, too. Everytime we drop they drop too and I can't see any competition for us either being high in serps.

I think the stats are even more weird than usual today. I had the highest ever earnings at 10.30 am. Then it all slowed down. However I noticed one page that usually gets around $2 per click had dropped to about 10c a click. I am hoping that the real clicks have not been added in yet as different channels seem to update a different times throughout the day.

I always seem to get a load of clicks at 2cents first thing in the morning for channels that get up to $20 at other times.

ann,

I guess advertisers have stopped giving their ads for Indian region thats why in India, I am seeing PSA's. After checking out, using Adsense Preview Tool, its showing ads in other countries.

I also notice a sharp decline in eCPM and CTR since yesterday. Some of my pages that served good ads for many months now suddenly show PSA's and completely irrelevant ads in silly languages.
Did the guys at the plex mess up the algo again?

My observation is that this trouble concentrates on pages with relatively little content. The pages with more text are fine. Anyone seeing the same?

[Ankhenaton]

All I see is the definite desire to all possible in the world to diversify away from Google. :\ no info about what is going on. Even my broadband provider has pages telling you about downtime. Too much for Google it seems. Well I heared Google is planning Google Internet television to place better paying ads.

[fearlessrick]

Great job, Google. I just sent out my monthly newsletter and there's a ton of traffic, but your system is FUBAR.

As usual, thanks for ruining what should be my best day of the month.

All my #s are absurdly low, except, of course, pageviews, which are excellent.

Sometimes PSAs start being served for no obvious reason.
If you used to get good ads, or you're serving an area that obviously has ads (what shows up on the Google SERP page for your main term? Those are possible ads for you.) then it could be a glitch internally to Google.
One of my sites did that once. So I wrote to them and they told me that they fixed... something and then real ads started appearing again.
