Definitely UP for me. Best month in a long time.

AdSense is always up for some and down for others. I don't see the point of these topics every day.

My November, 2009 MTD:

- EPC down from October;

- CTR up from October;

- eCPM down very slightly from October (as I'd expect during what is traditionally a weak month for my topic and site).

BUT...

- November, 2009 EPC and eCPM are running noticeably higher than during the same 23 days last year. A sign of economic recovery, perhaps?

Been having low CTR and overall low couple of months. I went into the Ad Review Center and stopped all the stuff in there that does not go with my sites, and today is looking much better. Will see how it goes this week. I am liking what I am seeing so far, getting some great CTR that I have not seen in a while, and seem to be getting much higher paying clicks. Hope this keeps up!

I sure hope so ! Today is looking much better for me, looking like pre October when things were good for me.

I just printed a graph of the last 3 years and my earnings always tank from October to January. Thankfully I'm not in retail!

What is more worrying is my CTR has gone from 3.5% to 1.5% over the same period.
Yearly earnings still rising though.

Point is you need to compare with yearly trends where possible / relevant

All things being average I should hit my month's target today which is very pleasing with a full 7 days to go. I kept my target the same as last month with it being Thanksgiving this week however I may actually end up with my hoped-for 10% increase.

One thing I have noticed this month are some violent EPC swings, for instance Monday's was just over 20% lower than Saturday's and Sunday's.

Like October so far. Not bad.

Today and yesterday have been utterly dire. Every time Google "fixes" something, earnings become erratic for about a week or so afterwards.
