It really has more to do with what the advertiser is paying to run the ad, not the difference in your click rate. You could easily triple income or have it drop by a third without any difference in traffic.

What would be suspicious is to have the click through rate jump up and the traffic remain the same. The money per click is what is more likely to change quickly.
