This may be. But if you already have tested the waters with the ads in the first place, then what does it matter if it is lower or higher. Might as well let the ads ride. Money is money.
On the other hand though, you can always go out and create more pages (or sites) for the higher paying ads. But I think you will be robbing Peter to pay Paul with this approach in the long run.
==========================
One thing I did notice is that there is delay in the reporting on the aggregrate data in the Channels. This delay is as much as two days before you actually know what the breakdown of those Channels are. Has anyone else noticed this?
Data on your un-disclosed page impressions and click-thrus is reported normally and at the same time it always has been (roughly a couple of hours after the actual impression). Just the data on the Channels have been held up for some reason.
Another move that Google has made in the light of the new Channels is that some Publishers have more than one account. I do. And I was just informed that they will be consolidating all accounts into one of your choosing.
The deadline for account consolidation is April 12th (yep 3 days before the tax deadline). If you do not choose one account for consolidation, then they will close all accounts for you.
If you have received a mail on this, read very closely on how to do your account consolidation.
