I am relatively happy with my CTR (nowhere near enough clicks overall though), but google has started playing around with my layout.

One section I have the adsense box displaying two text ads side by side. Now google has started serving up a single ad in this box, with the full adsense code including website address.

Also, I think that adsense has lately been slowing down my site significantly.

Why don't they just leave things alone? Is anyone else getting adsense served up differently from what they coded for?

Probably trying new things to keep momentum with their program because of Yahoo!.

Thats probably this (http://www.websitepublisher.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3574) effect you are seeing. They are trying to improve your CTR :)

thanks r2d2, i was starting to take it personally.

anyway if they want me to make more money they should just increase my eCPM rather than worry about my CTR :p

They want to make money, too. Don't think that they are doing this just to spite you :P

Course, they're also not your b*tch, so can set their own cut of the booty.

These are often CPM ads.
