Hope this is only some sort of end of the month effect.
Friday CTR 30% below monthly average
thanks to increased traffic from Bing
Real traffic from Bing, or referer spam?

real. and unexpected.
But last week I had some lower earnings. Also, the overall earnings are the record highest for me.
But this is also due to increased traffic by 30-40%.. cpm ctr remains kind of Okish.
Halloween. People are partying...
Today is kak. 17c in almost 4 hours. whoopie-do.
whoa... we're raking in the cash aren't we...

no.no.no.no.no! Don't these people know they're supposed to be clicking on my ads and NOT partying?

Sometimes it kicks into high gear midday and catches up but I think today will be a bust for what has been a really good month overall.
Stupid holidays and people that binge drink at parties that are too hung over to shop.
What's wrong with those people?
Don't they realize they have ads to click?
I don't normally get involved in the daily CTR/eCPM chicken little discussions, but today is definitely starting at rock bottom here as well.

Hear! Hear!
With 6 hours to go, today looks like it's going to be 3 for 3 really sucky days.
Oh well... Onward November!
This is a record month for me, even still, but I guess I was getting greedy by wanting to get to a certain figure and I'm just missing it by a little due to the last couple of days.
Still grateful for the great month though.
today and the last couple of days have been carpy!
Are you suggesting that there's something fishy about your stats? :-)
Why? I dunno nor do any of us except for speculation.
I worked very hard only to stay very near from were I was, ouch!
CTR and impressions remained consistent, but damn... eCPM dropped by 50% Thursday and 60% Friday!
Same here, and EPC still down since last thursday (29th)
CTR went up the last few days of the month but EPC fell in a hole. Down by an average of 50%
Now for Nov, CTR down a fair bit but EPC getting back to near normal and eCPM nearing early October.
After over six years I still can't figure it out. Actually I don't bother, just go with the flow and roll with the punches.

I can. It's easy. I make sure I play by the rules. Google gets advertisers. Depending on whether they can meet their daily/monthly income target (also referring to their daily reading of tea leaves or crystal ball), they then flip a dial to determine if I get a small nibble of cheese of a big chunk. At the end of the month, I happily walk in to the bank to get my money. Easy.
