Default What's good for Google may not be good for you

"Google's fourth quarter report is massive. Showing 26% revenue growth in the 3-months..."

During the same period I noticed a revenue drop in my AdSense program despite the constant traffic pattern. Has anyone else noticed similar coincidence?

Didn't notice any adsense changes, but we did notice an increase in adwods traffic, and less conversions without any signifigant changes.

This is actually what I meant. The conversion is way down and accordingly the revenue dropped.

Sure, I did. About 35%-40% drop here, despite providing more sites and naturally more clicks to the program.
I also tried putting everything back as before - no help.
What I experience now is very strange; about the same CTR and same number of clicks with revenue in enormous range - from 20% to 300% of usual average and I'm not talking peanuts.
No clue.

Default similar conversion drop

we've seen a similar conversion drop on Google these past 3 months, while costs have gone up. Meanwhile our Overture conversions have increased significantly. Makes one think that perhaps Google is not going to keep their pace.
