all my ads were working just fine.

I changed the colors and assigned them to a channel, and now I'm getting PSA's on every page.

why is this?

Ditto - except I have mine set to show the page's background color which results in completely vacant spaces. Some pages have a few ads, but I suspect that something is wrong somewhere in googleland.

No recent changes, getting a little more than half psa's.
Noticed it about 3 hours ago, came to post here, but then they were ok again.
I'm guessing thats why my epc has been dismal today.

what would it have to do with the earnings per click? if anything, shouldn't your CTR be dropping?

people click on ads that give 0 revenue. EPC drops as a result.

I didn't used to think psa's were counted as clicks. When we were getting psa's everywhere on 4/23, I had several channels report a number of clicks with $0 revenue.

couldn't that just be that it's a click worth less than a cent?

Yes, psa clicks count now.
