Activity? Maybe not.
But throttling traffic and pushing advertisers.. Definitely yes.
The eCPM rates were down for a month or so. But they jumped just right after the Jan 6 debacle.

Something is just not right. Our site reported the lowest eCPM rates.. Even during pandemic mania they were low but not this low.

davids This entire week has been weird. I don't care what Google says but there has been changes in their algo. First the traffic then the adsense revenue. Yes, we saw it as well.

So, far our week has been good. No funny business.
But this weekend the traffic fell from the cliff.

I believe another push from Google.
To spend more on ads. eCPM rates are better than the previous two months.

Traffic from China is a problem.
Maybe Google should consider ranking better forum and board contents. They give a proper awareness of any situation with many views.
Just ranking articles that says it's from 'editor in chief' isn't getting much public trust either.
