30% Adsdaq fill fell back to to 10% fill

I got very excited because I had seen a 30% fill rate at Adsdaq for a week or so. Suddenly it's back to 10% again. Did anyone else experience this? Does the fill rate increase at the end of the year or something and then go back down in the new year? AdSense seems to be paying less, too. I feel like I just jumped 6 months back in terms of what I am able to eek out online. Thanks.

yeah, normal pump and dump for the end of the year.... january is usually my worst month of the year for ad rev

Phew - then there's hope that it will go back up. Thanks, Brian. December had me excited about the prospects for the future and January so far has had me wondering why I bother.

What ad size are you using? and What ask price?

I still have a $2.00 ask but am receiving fill rates of 3 - 5%. I had experimented with dropping the ask substantially, but at that point I stood to do better taking my chances with AdSense clicks. I am using 300 x 250 squares and leaderboards. I really hope things start going back up again soon!

What about you, zompus? What is Adsdaq looking like for you? Anyone else?

I also have a $2.00 ask, using 160*600 my fill rate has dropped to about 2%. I have adsence as backup too. Adsence does not really work on my board my CTR is always 00.0x%.
