Content Clicks impressions and clicks down

[vphoner]

Anyone notice a reduction in content clicks and impressions in the last two days? Could this be storm related? Or is it phase II of quality stuff (I certainly hope not).

I've noticed a considerable decline in past week.

I have a huge decline for the past 3 weeks.

What could be the cause of this decline on CONTENT (not search)...Is it something on Google, or seasonal, weather....

Just a quick post to mention that if ads have been edited, that'll bring content traffic to a halt until ads have been reviewed/approved.

I suspect you already know this, vphoner (and others) - but it's worth mentioning just in case. ;)

From what I am seeing Google has eliminated many of my keywords in the listings but they are still listed as active. I don’t think it is a money issue. In Google Settings, Google now recommends I double my daily spend when it was always double what I was already spending and never slowed. No change in ad structure.

To me it seems like an even more narrowly subjective focus is being utilized in choosing what is going to be displayed or not. I really think some of this landing page evaluation has been out-sourced a little too much.

What I was referring to was content only, not the search clicks. When they disable words, they are still good for content. My content clicks have dropped off hugely in the last 2 days. I no longer have search clicks since google has decided to shut them off in July with everyone else. But I have had content and it was pretty consistent in the number of clicks until yesterday and today. Nothing has changed. I have made no changes. Its strange, because I check my ranking in some sites, and it seems normal for content (same positioning). However other pages where my logs tell me I got a click last week, I can't find my ad. Anyone else noticing the same thing in CONTENT only, not search?

What could this be? I hope its only temporary.

I'm also seeing my content impressions for some campaigns almost disappear today. This campaign was not affected by QS, has nothing to do with that.

I love using the ad diagnostic tool for the search listings, but I noticed there is no such tool for the content network. It seems there is no way to find the reason for these evaporating impressions.

For a third day straight, I see lower impressions and clicks. I saw a thread in the adsense area mention some problems yesterday. Is there a systemwide problem with adsense?
