1). Site targeting has gone bad, my Site is not receiving as targeted ads as it was in the past. Now, I am receiving Text-link exchange advt. on my homepage my site is a software downloads site. ( I don't even have mentioned text-link anywhere on my whole site).
2). CTR is dipping day be day or say its a kinda fluctuating a lot (seen only after the UPDATE)
3). All Adunits are NOT getting populated by Ads.
I hope ASA and Google keep there publishers satisfied as YPN is coming.
I don't see the problems you're mentioning on my sites
Me nether. How long have you been running AdSense and what kind of traffic do you have?
Many top advertisers are managing their content spend more effectively. It is the advertiser goal to keep their cost as low as possible with the highest return, the same as Google.
The pricing paid to advertisers is not controlled by G to a large extent.
Got quite a few adsense bashers in here lately and you sound like another one to me. jmo

You will always hear more from people with problems, but it is not necessarily a true reflection of the facts.
Aadallen is brand new here!
That's not necessarily the case. He could have just registered under another name and e-mail.

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
Don't know if this might help in your case. But I'd give it a try.
I am adding around 2500 new pages, that will be finished in a month or so, to my first site. The site does extremely well in the serps and I have Adsense all over it - text book heatmap.
As someone mentioned, advertisers now have better control over their campaigns and can target your site. Just make sure that you have a site that an advertiser wants to target ;)
If it is a mistake then I apoligize, sorry but I do get a little burnt out with people taking nips out of the hand that feeds them without simply trying to improve their sites.
You, deepish may not fit that cat but some do. Again, sorry.

Come to think of it, I'd expect EPC, eCPM, and total earnings to be down this month for a lot of sites, just because August is a go-to-the-beach-or-the-mountains month for so many people.
2). CTR is dipping day be day or say its a kinda fluctuating a lot
My CTR is unstable, but my traffic is low, so that is not surprising.
3). All Adunits are NOT getting populated by Ads.
Haven't seen that on my site.
I hope ASA and Google keep there publishers satisfied as YPN is coming.
You can't make everyone happy and bugs happen, write to Google ASAP.
When all the complainers head to YPN the threads about "YPN SUCKS!" will start within days.

LOL, that's true.
I would like to see some serious competition, but noone should expect that Yahoo or anyone else would jump in just to make publishers happy.
Adsense is getting worst, after the last downtime all sorts of negative signs are coming:
Don't know your URL, but since you're a download site, I'll point out that a lot of download sites don't have real good copy, have trouble providing pages that have a clear topic, etc.
As Google gets better at identifying what pages provide good ROI, it is absolutely inevitable that there will be winners and losers. It seems highly likely that a goodly percentage of losers in this ever-shifting equation of ad dollars will complain to whatever online forums they frequent, and that a notably smaller percentage of winners will mention "Hey, my AdSense dollars are up, and I didn't change a darn thing -- cool!".
As Google gives ever-increasing control and options to AdWords buyers, it becomes less sensible to assign 100% of the blame to Google. Maybe some advertisors who formerly paid you good money (via AdSense) have decided to block ads to your site because you weren't making them good money (via AdWords).
Instead of taking the attitude that Google needs to take care of you or else you'll take your business to Yahoo! (hey, me too -- uh, if they ever manage to offer me a better deal than Google), you could take the attitude of: hmmm, I wonder what changes I could make to my website so that it attracts better-focused, better qualified traffic -- changes that make my content more valuable, no matter who I end up selling ads to.
Sometimes, I think the best thing that can happen to anyone who wants to make good AdSense money is to have to sell a bunch of stuff via AdWords for a while. It really helps to remember that Google is just the middleman -- there's some real human beings out there deciding how to spend their advertising dollars that are who you should really be paying attention to.
I am a OLD publisher and my site was getting GOOD Adsense results with CTR from 7%-12% , YOU ALL are not facing the problem doesen't mean that the problem does not exist.
Last time when Adsense was down nobody seems to confirm that it was becuase you all were sleeping in US when Adsense ads were not showing on any SITE becuase of the update [webmasterworld.com...] [webmasterworld.com...]
[webmasterworld.com...]
You all are not affected but many are, and Pls. don't suggest common ideas as I am a OLD Adsense Publishers and my site was performing well before the UPDATE, I ask you all if you were in my place what you should have posted. Leave aside that you are not facing the problem but what if an UPDATE does the same to you. You guys may even have an option for YPN but since I am a not from US presently I don't stand a chance for that also, So there is no point of hating Adsense as something is better than nothing. I hope this clarification will lead this thread to more POSTIVE posts.

I'm POSITIVE you probably need to write to Google and see if anything is wrong that they can determine.
Have you implemented section targeting yet?

Try that for a few days and see what happens.
