I tried to post this yesterday however I kept getting a "flood prevention" warning!

There's not much point posting when one was has so little influence over anything Google does. The new Panda rollout has reduced my traffic considerably:
Friday PVs were -27% v month and -33% v the previous week.
Drilling into the metrics the US was -40% v the month and -43.5% v the previous week.
The UK faired no better at -35% v the month and -48% v the previous week.
Interestingly though CTR was +65% which meant, at the end of the day, I ended up with an average earnings day! It would have been even better if my EPC hadn't been one of my lowest of the month.
Overall for AdSense, so so, overall for the new Panda, it seems to suck for me at the moment however I do not hold out any hopes for anything better, I've seen this stupid animal at work before, it just uses the scattergun approach and doesn't give a damn what it takes out.

Not much new going on here. Slightly up over last September, but this is my slow season. This is the time I start planning new features for next year and fixing development bugs. Interesting to me, but not so much to the forum. Plus, you know, **football**.

So far I really do not know what to make of this new Panda, I'm definitely heading for one of my lowest PVs of the year, currently at 35% of average, meanwhile my CTR is the highest it has been all year at 204% of average!
No way will this stick, surely?

Smokin. There is literally smoke coming off my adsense earnings today (in a good way).

I am very encouraged right now. This isn't something that I have been able to say for over a year. It's a bit too early to mention changes I've made but I will discuss later if this proves stable. My philosophy of never giving up hopefully proves its value. Anytime I make in one day what would normally be about 4 or 5 days earnings, I have reason for optimism.

I'm still not sure what this new Panda is up to, PVs down yet CTR definitely up, earnings stable at the moment. This release was at a very awkward moment for my global trade and is very difficult to quantify right now, I'll know better by next weekend.

After a pretty good month, starting Sunday (typically my best day of the week) CTR has dropped like crazy. Much larger decline in CTR at the end of this month for some reason that typical month.

Today is starting off with RPM half of what it has been all month.
Will see how it develops as the day moves along.
Hope for the best expect the worse.

PVs seemingly back to normal however CTR alarmingly low but higher EPC making up for the losses!
In other words all is normal, G's in yet another of its home-made messes.

very low CTR, low payment => panic mode...

Looking back over my data more closely, this significant CTR drops the last few days is abnormal for my accounts. This has Google "tinkering" all over it. From what I can tell, not seeing a different mix in advertisers either.

Whelp, not a blip but more of a trend. A positive one. When I just checked my stats today, I had a physical "shock" reaction. Now I'm not talking about money to buy a car today, but comparison wise, it's spectacular. It's not so much a significant volume of traffic increase which is another big positive.

Starting to see a click dump. So looks like stats were stuck or fixed something they broke the other day.

Hey Red Bar -- I got the Red Bar :)
We're sorry, some data in this report is delayed, please try again later. There's no impact to ad serving or payments.

This new Panda sure is throwing-up some interesting stats for me, Monday was my best day of the month, PVs up, click volume up, excellent EPC, CTR bang on average ... now if only I could build upon this without being knocked back again!

Anyone's stats looking nasty today? So sick of Google's inconsistency. Great traffic, lousy revenue.

Absolutely dire EPC so far across every country except Norway!
I simply connot believe that this is the same programme that was running yesterday, fubard.

If it doesn't get much better over time, at least Facebook Atlas looks promising.:)

An awful finish to the month especially from the UK with everything way down resulting with its earnings at 27%.
For September overall Tablets and Smartphones made 29.2% of earnings from 28.5% of PVs with Tablet CTR 211% of Smartphones.
I know that Tablets and Smartphones usage must be higher since, for whatever reason, AdSense does not recognise WIN8 devices and I saw some stats last month showing UK Lumia usage at 7.5% and similarly across Europe with it predicted to rise to 10% therefore AdSense platform reports must be out by a substantial number.

I can't track anything with these clawbacks. September seemed to be picking up, especially at the end. There were small clawbacks during the month, but now "current balance" is 76 percent of what month of September still shows under reports.

Hopefully they're still updating the September final numbers, cause all I have now are the earnings from Search, not Content.

September has ended 25% higher than my best ever month thanks to a very high RPM! WOW

My RPM has tanked. Even some euro countries are giving me pennies. Since when is Denmark on the same scale as Pakistan?
