Today ecpm is not good, just 1/5 of recent average

[AndyA]

April 17th was a really bad day for me. Clicks per click down as well, earnings down. Today (April 18th, Saturday) isn't looking much better so far.

Started slow today.

[jmccormac]

Frozen. Though with the way Google has been playing with Adsense recently, it is hard to tell if that's just a new "normal".

I am feeling better already. I vote for a regular "Ads stuck" column on Webmasterworld. Its become a regular feature.

yesterday was the worst day in the last 2-3 years, and the most "worst days" were when google had maintenance, coincidence or not?

Yesterday was one of my best Saturdays in several months.

Coincidence or not?

[HuskyPup]

Coincidence or not?

Yesterday I had unusually low Google Page Impressions v my actual logs, my EPC was normal average with overall earnings at the very bottom end of normal expectations.

My stats were at one time frozen for hours and hours and obviously never recovered.

Maintenance days for me now mean that I earn nothing for those hours I cannot access the account...congrats on your increased profit G, I know from where some of them are coming!

And to compound things today's stats are even worse.

[sunhapol]

This will again a low day for me ...

[mysticalsock]

Yesterday was appalling as all 'maintenance' days are, today is very busy traffic wise and although impressions seem up to date I don't appear to have earned anything since the couple of cents that were there early this morning :(

[realmaverick]

Yesterday sucked, today sucks more. Things just keep going down hill.

I bet my life Google's profits aren't down. We get double hit, less advertisers = less earnings and then Google take a higher cut, to ensure their profits don't dip.

Clever really, that's why they won't reveal their cut, so they can change it, at times like this to keep their profits stable.

[HuskyPup]

Arghhh...EPC slashed by 33% today...what have they fubard now?

Monday had better improve otherwise AdSense WILL be gone, they're not having my ad space for these values, Chitika pays better than this!

[mysticalsock]

Just looked at 1 - 19th April last year and compared it with this year:
Traffic up by 15%
CPM down by 70%
Earnings down by 75%
Click through down by 60%

[sunhapol]

checking my stats and the earnings is slashed by 70% today. Yesterday was a bad day. But today is very very bad.

[indias next no1]

last 2 days, bad earnings.

[johnnie]

Yesterday was pretty good actually :)

[Lame_Wolf]

same here johnnie, but today is slow/stuck.

[m0thman]

Saturday was good, but yesterday was terrible and today is looking pretty poor well. Is it the weather, the recession or Google mucking around - or all of the above?

Hmmph!

[purplecape]

You forgot the phase of the moon. Have you ever correlated your stats with the phases of the moon?

[HuskyPup]

Monday had better improve

Hmmm...so yesterday's EPC was 33% below average...today I'm nearly 57% above average, these swings are madness, Stupid Pricing is way outta control.

And after writing that the click volume does seem lower than normal today!

[jmccormac]

Low EPC. Low earnings. Adsense is completely erratic.

Regards...jmcc

[m0thman]

Yep, more like a lucky dip than a roller coaster these days.

[Freedom]

I'm noticing wild swings and very strange reporting as well. It is a bit maddening.

[Lame_Wolf]

Everything is going well today. Two days running... wow ! :)

[realmaverick]

Yesterday was really poor. Today is pretty good. I honestly am past caring. Nothing surprises me with it.

Though a couple of days were reporting much lower impressions than analytics and my other ad networks, which proves some #*$! was lost.

[johnnie]

Today is fairly average for me. Not very good, but not surprisingly bad either.

Just a conjecture; could it be that Google knows that your site provides better traffic on certain days than other?

[jmccormac]

Revenue down. Targeting borked. More 'get rich quick' URLs added to the junk filter.
