I've been consistently running around a .10% CTR. Since July 2, 2010, the CTR has fallen to .02%, which is killing my eCPM. Has anyone else seen something similar on their stats? The drop in CTR over the last few days?

I've actually experienced an increase.

Nope, CTR has been normal however for me earnings have been down owing to the US holiday weekend but they seem to be recovering now.

Slight, but noticible drop - I blamed it on the seasonal changes that I experience in the transition from June to July.

My ctr has been cut in half the last few weeks. I have no idea what is going on...

My CTR has gone up, but the CPC has gone down. So, in a way, I am in the same boat.

No great changes this month. The last noticeable change I saw was in May 2009. My CTR had been falling away gradually up until April 2009, and then suddenly it was cut in half in May 2009. Since then, it has never recovered ... despite putting in lots of effort to try to get things back. The work I have put in has resulted in a record number of page impressions and some good visitor feedback, but CTR, eCPM and general AdSense earnings continue to slip away.
Of course, we are in the worst economic rut since the Great Depression. My hope is that when the economic situation genuinely starts to improve, then AdSense earnings will also start to improve. However, any real recovery still looks being some way off yet.
