big drop in Adsense rate

Anybody see a big drop in their adsense revenue - average paid per click - startin exactly on January 1st?

Mine fell off a cliff and I'm tryin to figure out if it is across the web or if it is just my sites. I had real good rates straight through Christmas and onto Dec 31st and then BAM! - on Jan 1st it dropped way down.

All of my ads are showing and I didn't touch the code.

Thanks!

Yeah I noticed the same thing. I agree with BroadProspect its because of the holiday ending, I am sure things will start picking back up as companies tweak their products and start offering promotions for the 2004 sales year.

I've had fewer and fewer relevant ads for my site network. I use to be generating $10+ each day, now i'm barely generating an average of $5. I'm looking for a new Ad provider!

Well, I feel the revenuew is increasing and since sales are slow for online businesses after the holidays, they are all doing PPC with Google / Overure !!
