    Who does adsense here? anyone had weird changes since "adchoices" came into effect?

    Ok so if anyone here does adsense, have you noticed any of the following since adchoices came in?

    Lower clicks or CTR

    and/or

    Pages missing ads / blank spaces

    I'm getting both, also lower impressions (because there is no ads there sometimes obviously)

    If this happened to you, have you fixed it?

    I noticed one time when I was on a buddies computer that my adsense ads were not showing up on my sites. There was nothing there, I thought he had an ad blocker on the browser. I've never figured it out. My CTR always go up and down.

      I've never had random blank pages before.

      Oh well! maybe it will sort itself out. Strange things since the adchoices came into effect though. Kinda sucks.

        July and August, I usually lose about 50% of my revenue..

        This has a lot to do with advertisers either cutting off their spends or lowering cpc to nothing..

        However, you bring up an interesting point and I will have to have my guys look into this to make sure that this is not related to the latest change..

          I couldn't find anything about it, google help centre just says the usual shit.

          "make sure your ad is placed and loading properly" etc.

          My CTR is always between 15-25% never lower and it has been stuggling to get 14% mostly 10% lately.

          CPC is worse for sure, it is more an indoor niche aswell which probably don't help in summer.

          Anyway, I think to counteract it all I can do is increase traffic and build more. So that is what I am doing.

          Over winter earnings have been between $9 and $30 per day. Now it is hard to get anywhere near $10. Looking at $5 per day roughly.

          So yeah, was just wondering if anyone has had the same thing or maybe even have a soloution.
