CTR dropped radically

[zerillos]

Since yesterday, October 1, the CTR has dropped radically.
Anyone experiencing the same thing?

[epmaniac]

yes, all of a sudden its bottomed

[imbckagn]

Went from years of very high CTR on one website which has never dipped to horribly low CTR - something isn't right.

Noticed that the fonts are not displaying what I set in my preferences. They defaulted to BIG and UGLY instead of Arial and small. Was wondering if anyone also has this problem right now. Could be the cause of the low CTR.

[CenSin]

Yep, my CTR also down about 50%, pageview down around 20%, rev was another story.

But... It's Friday guys.

[zerillos]

and a new one...stats stuck?

[CenSin]

This time not me... Already have the same CTR as yesterday.

I know that mine has gone down but also know why. My music site had ads for a couple of major gigs which were last week. Now I am seeing a lot of off-topic stuff.

I think the stats are stuck. All of my data are lower than they should be. I checked my server logs and they're indicating everything is normal. Ads are showing normally.

October hasn't been good. At the end of the month, I'd hate to see the overall earnings being lower than the September's earning. Hope that's not gonna happen.

[londrum]

i think a drop at the end of the month is pretty normal, because advertisers come to the end of the budget. and when the beginning of the next month falls on a weekend you won't normally see it pick up until monday.
that's what i have experienced in the past, anyway.

[zerillos]

let's hope you're right londrum

[HuskyPup]

Without wishing to put the kybosh on my earnings, October has started incredibly well for me with both CTR and earnings up, in fact Saturday 2nd was one of my best Saturdays of 2010.

[Tashi]

Very low pageviews and CTR as well here...

[nickreynolds]

Across a range of about 20 sites my CTR has rocketed on Oct 1st,2nd, 3rd.

CTR up by 80% compared with first three days of Sept.
Ecpm doubled

Cannot see why, seems like usual types of ads displaying, haven't made any significant changes

[TamanRoyal]

I guess new budget is starting to roll in.

[Atomic]

My CTR is back where I would expect it. Maybe a .1% better.

[cien]

My CTR is just fine, between 10-15% this month, but very low ppc. I've probably been smart priced. Who knows. Crappy October so far.

Makes sense Londrum. Let's see how Monday starts.

[zozzen]

not in my cases. CTR remains low as usual but there seems to be a good ad on my website in recent days. Each click gives US$0.8-1 instead of the terrible 0.03....

[nickreynolds]

Doh - back to normal yesterday. It was fun while it lasted
