Was Google able to resolve the 05/05/05 issue, which seemed to affect quite a few sites, with the recent algo change?
I have done nothing to my sites other than I removed all my Adsense code for 24 hours from all my sites after my/the disastrous Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, AdLinks I left in place and only changed channel id's, and then I only uploaded one leaderboard to each site with new channel id's.
I'm very apprehensive about saying this...the results have been staggering to say the very least with an average EPC increase over the past 6 days of 54.23%!
My CTR has remained the same and my eCPM has increased by 16%.
Am I on the road to recovery?

After all the grief of 05.05.05 surely I am not the only one to notice this?
As I mentioned on a previous thread, I believe in fact it's only a "Show data by Page / Individual Ad Unit" thing. Since 5th May we can see a much greater difference between these two statistics, at least if we use an Ad Links unit in addition to normal ads on the same pages.
Surely they implemented something that date. See it by yourself, open two browser windows or tabs and look around May 5 with the two options "page" and "individual ad unit".
That's all about May 5, don't worry. I don't think it affects earnings at all.
