   No idea what's going on but I am experiencing the same thing so I guess we'll just have to be patient :(

   I had been experiencing the same thing with mine. Traffic was actually getting better and better, but the adsense was declining.
   
   This month it seems to have picked back up and is now giving me back what I had before January 1st. Not sure why though.

   My personal experience with Google is that they do whatever they like with traffic and CPC.
   
   I expect nothing from Google other than keeping silent and saying nothing to anybody and if you email them they won't even reply to you unless we are talking about a few million dollars, they are very arrogant because they are on top, that is why I use Bing whenever I can, even if I am an Adsense publisher.
   
   But it would be easier to help you out if you posted the website URL where that is happening.

       It looks good, the only thing I would do is to place a third advert, maybe a skyscraper below the FB like widget or vertically at the bottom of the site. Adsense doesn't care if you have a 3rd affiliate advert, the maximum 3 adverts per page have to be theirs.

         I have experimented with a 3rd advertisement in the sideblock. I have learned that ads in the vbulletin sideblock get little-to-nothing when on the site. Its just a waste of space from what I've learned.

           Good to know, I have never managed a vBulletin, the advice was based on my experience with websites. If that is the result you were getting then it must be right.

   I have experienced the same thing over and over. Like now, when there's high political activity and lots of expectations, My page views have trippled for a week, but cpc gone so low [sometimes EUR 0.05] while the CTR is 3% sometimes it goes to 0.5 and the diff is so huge.
   
   Anyhow, I have seen that adsense still pays far better than the others... infolinks etc (maybe because the don't have many relevant ads from my country)
