Have Your Earnings Returned To "Normal"

[OptiRex]

After Thursday's strange happenings with my earnings being 30% down and still 20% off on Friday, has anyone seen what they would call a return to "normal" revenue?

I notice that some of the advertisers have also queried strange occurences such as campaigns going over cost or not being charged at all.

Is anyone actually going to give an offical explanation of what happened or did I blink and miss it?

It certainly does not inspire me with much confidence that an occurence like this can be sidelined with the "hope" that no one will question it.

FWIW, taking the week as a whole, I"m about 20% above normal. Good start to the month. There were a few blips but they've evened out.

down here. but it's been down before a hundred different times before only to bounce back days later. won't really know anything till at least the middle of next week.

Still not 'normal', but it's to soon to draw conclusions. My traffic is currently in a dip, because of all the holidays this week I hope.

It seems that the stats are lagging again, no update for the past 2 hours..

Wednesday and Thursday were both down around 30%; Stats still looked way off all day Friday, but looking at Friday's totals Saturday morning, they appear to be about normal, finally.

Yeah, I had zero before 05/05/05, and I've still got zero. :(

5/5 totals are the only low day. Thursday started out behind but must have caught up at EOD.

Today looks normal for a Saturday :)

funny, my clicks were a touch below normal yesterday and my earnings were a touch above normal.
Both were close enough that it could be nothing more than chance.
I'm not complaining. :)

5/5 my earnings where the 3rd highest for this full week so far, BUT 6/5 has been the lowest day since april 16, today looks on schedule for an average days earnings.

I don't think the stats are back to normal.
My on-site stats differ way too much from the reported page views in my AdSense stats.

However, I don't see this for all my clients' acounts, only for my own (covering 5 sites).
