Today's stats are an April fools joke right? I never fall for these jokes but I must admit though for a while there I honestly believed they were actual stats. I guess the real stats come out at the end of the day.

Heh...just been looking at mine and thought precisely the same, my second biggest site has only earned 25% of average so far, hardly surprising that my CTR is also 25% of average! EPC fine.

I couldn't figure out what was going on today. Earnings cut in 1/2. But then, to my surprise, I got an email from Google asking if I enjoyed their 4/1 joke and that my true earnings would show up just before midnight google time... wewwwwoooo.

April Fool jokes are only valid until midday. After that time, the joke is on them.

Don't forget it is a long weekend for many.

thanks Wolf... I didn't know there were so many Catholics visiting my site before. That explains much of the down turn.

It's not just Catholics. The UK for example will have a bank holiday today (Friday). No need to be a Catholic to have a day off.

is it a prank? I guess not. Still 2 hours left for the day to end and earnings couldn't get any worse than this. Worse so far in this year..

I wish it was a prank, but think not.

Here we go again, back to 15th March situation, the last two days I have seen totally normal traffic yet my CTR/Clicks cut by 30% overnight...what the heck does that hamster do...run backwards?
They should re-name this program GoogleHog Day!

It is a holiday weekend and the start of beautiful weather here in the midwest. I'm going outside. I'm betting a lot of my visitors are too. =)

Anyone else seeing - or rather - not seeing their adverts ? My site has blank spaces. Press F5 and they appear (Or one will appear, out of two). Sometimes the pages will show adverts, but if I press F5, they sometimes disappear. IE6
Wondering if this is also happening to others, in which case it could add to the reasons why it isn't a good day.

Funny you mention; I had some blank spaces in FF but not Chrome this morning, and only for the 300x200 spot. Or maybe it's a 350x200, I don't remember. But the links and the 468x60 were showing just fine in everything. And it all seems okay now.

Good Friday was my worst AdSense day in years. I assume a lot of people are going to travel for the Easter holiday weekend as well.
By the way, Catholics are not the only Christians. Christians of all denominations are celebrating Easter. Just letting you know.
