Is something going on with Google AdWords?

My conversions are about 50% of what they normally are (I'm paying 2x as much to aquire each new customer) as of Monday and my price per conversion numbers on AdWords are roughly double what they normally are.

Is there some new deployment they recently launched or something?

Well.... The QS update is on the way. So it might be something to do with that..

Dang - now its 2x as bad as it was the day before...when I wrote this email complaining. My MER ratio is now 400% *WORSE* than it was jsut 5 days ago.

F*** this. I'm turning off my Google acount. I'm so sick of Google screwing with me while they tweak their profit models. Its costing me money!

By the way - I just noticed something. Ever since I wrote to Google 2 days ago complaining how my conversion rates are way off ... I see my conversion stats are no longer showing on the site (all 0%). Perhaps they're trying to mask a known issue.
