For me, so far today 1st May, it has continued in the same vein of the past few days.
I've never experienced such bad endofmonthitis before, here's hoping for a kick-start Monday or Tuesday or whenever anyone, asides from us lot, go back to work!

There's supposedly a maintenance going on, but I can actually get into it. Lots of impressions, but not much clickitude, though statcounter shows plenty of them. Maybe they don't catch up till later.

My impressions haven't moved either. Nothing is moving.

Same here, nothing's changed for hours now. Was having an excellent day, so no idea where I'm at.

Yep - confirmed here in Calgary. All accounts frozen since early morning, and at one point there were no ads showing on any of our blogs.
It's 1:07 PM Mountain time here and all stats frozen still. Statcounter show great traffic for a Saturday though and commissions still coming in for CJ

Same here in Southern California. Stats have not moved in well over 2-3 hours.

Odd that this would be a Maintenance Day without any notice being given (at least, not to me). Stats haven't moved in 2-3 hours but ads are showing on my pages. CPM is the best this month so far today, so whatever Google's doing, please keep doing it!

I was thinking the same - normally they state if there's maintenance. I'm in Paris France, 9:30pm here, and haven't had an update since around 3pm-ish.

I got the notice in email several days ago. Maybe they don't shut down the interface anymore; they just stop moving the stats.
The notice that I got said it was effective from 9AM PDT to 5PM PDT (noon to 8pm for us Easterners) Which seemed like an unusually long time.
But I have no doubt it will catch up.

I got that same email, netmeg. I fully expected that we wouldn't even be able to look at our stats while the maintenance was going on.
Phew; glad that it's a maintenance and not simply that traffic and clicks had disappeared!

Same here, good to know, though don't think it was a conservative estimate in the end.

It's 3:25 PM Mountain time up here in Calgary and all stats frozen still. This might be a record day for down time and a click dump.

I think I liked it better when I couldn't log in during maintenance. Looking at stuck stats for several hours is a very limited entertainment.

My stats started rolling again, but if they are up to date now, they're pretty pathetic.

we updated few bucks but assuming and hopeful that we are still way behind.

It's 4:58 PM Mountain time up here in Calgary and all stats back. Typical numbers for Saturday this time.

Earnings are better than yesterday but so far, still only at 50% of average. 6.5 hours left to go.

Of course, if they made any changes today that would help us, we will have a more clear picture tomorrow.

Checked mine 4am GMT and was looking normal . Checked again 3 hours later and I'm set to have a record day, so am very happy.

Yesterday earnings = about 80% of average. Here's to hoping for a better day today!

How often do these maintenance days happen? I didn't receive any notification, personally, so I wasn't aware of them until now.

Maintenance happen most Saturdays.

Mine's moved slightly, but it's missing significant reportings - I imagine it will jump later in the day. Has it always been like this? I don't normally check Adsense so frequently, but have been keen to monitor changes I've made.

Saturday is usually my low point of the week, but had a decent day yesterday. But today hasn't even started yet! It's 3pm and I've had a total of 50 impressions! - I may have to go back to playing roulette, the feeling is too similar!

Maintenance happens every four to eight weeks or so, on a Saturday.

I seem to be stabilising...just what does that mean?
My earnings are now averaging 40% of pre-Panda 2.1 i.e. all April thru to 6th May.
I've now lost a good 30% of my Page Impressions however what is the real killer is that my US AdSense earnings alone have dropped 66%.
Image pages for which I have ranked highly for years have simply vanished from the SERPs even though they were the only reference pages for them only to be replaced by incorrect image pages...I kid you not, totally incorrect images.
One of the main reasons I started constructing my sites in the mid 90s was to get the correct information listed into search engines since it was plainly obvious that there was a huge amoutn of dis and misinformation within my industry, especially in the USA, by companies deliberately re-naming products thus making it difficult for Joe Public to know what really was what.
Panda 2.1 has been a gigantic step backwards to the 90s for my widgets with the promotion of factually incorrect information and the advancement of MFA sites.
Quite simply put, if I know the information Google is presenting is incorrect why the heck should I trust it for anything else unless I know for certain the site I am using is bona fide?
