Man, oh man, my adsense has plummeted. Clicks that used to make a buck are making like 12 cents these last 2-3 weeks. It's distressing, man, distressing. This happening to anyone else? ARGH!!
Nothing out of the ordinary as of recent (Past week), but Google Clicks follow their own pattern, especially during the summer-camp months of summer

Yes I have noticed this as well. I have had clicks worth less then $.05 even a day that I made $.07. It is really frustrating but maybe this will be very temporary and will go back to normal soon.
I don't understand why google prohibits us from divulging most adsense stats. What is Google afraid of, that we might discover if we continue discussing details of our adsense stats?
Actually they stopped this rule now but you still cannot reveal your CTR. I ask myself that too but maybe it is because they don't want people cheating or finding out what the high paying clicks are but they are revealed already now.
As I understand it, you can only reveal your total adsense earnings, meaning you can brag and say "I earned $500 in adsense," which would help attract publishers to signup for adsense. Anything beyond this info, such as CTR and "earnings per click" could be construed to be against TOS, and a reason for being banned from the program.
Sounds exactly the way i see it. And good pointer the more you brag the more likly you are to get more people signing up to adsense for them to make more money.
Makes sense to be honest.

I'm certainly up on adsense. I'm especially waiting to see what happens with the new Yahoo program, as it may increase competition (and payout) for publishers.
Pardon my confessed Adsense/adwords ignorance, but is it recent that Adwords has spazzed out and said no to cigarette ads and poker ads? I don't have any poker or cig sites that I use adsense on, but I guess that no adwords means no adsense for poker or cig sites, eh?
