I am quite new to the Adsense game and I have only a few pages showing Adsense ads so it makes the following easy for me to report.
In the last 30 days or so I used to get a daily CTR of 30-45%. Every day. I have not changed a thing to my pages, the positions of the ads are the same and the number of ads as well. I repeat : I changed nothing. What I have to report is that in the last 4 days my CTR has drastically under 10%. Today so far I am at 0%!
I find that really strange. Is it a coincidence but the drop has begun the same day Google has introduced his new agreement and his new report page layout.
I'm puzzled.

jduf, does your site get a lot of repeat visitors? They may have clicked when they first saw the ads, but now they are used to seeing them.... That, or some other change in visitor behavior, seems to me a more likely explanation for a change in CTR than the new TOS and reports page!
I have been working on my site most of the day and have been checking the stats regularly. There have been updated stats everytime I checked.
In addition, traffic, epc, ctr, etc. have been pretty much as expected for a Sunday.
jduf - a ctr of 30-45% is very high. I don't think you can expect such a high ongoing rate unless you operate a very unique niche site. I know that I have never even come remotely close to such a rate even after doing a lot of adsense optimization.
This is a site that has been up since 1997 and have had adsense on for a few months. Kept account open with the search box for a couple of years because unable to work at it and the page in question has been up with daily changes from day 1.
Feels good to get a problem ironed out!

Sorry elsewhen, thought you were talking to me.
