Adsense CTR Becoming Erratic

Anyone noticed a change in their adsense CTR from around the 9th of January? One of my sites has been up for a year, no change in rankings or traffic. Used to get a CTR of 10 - 14%, since January 9th it has been fluctuating every day between 6 and 15%.

Noticed google have slightly changed the way their ads look. Just wondered if anyone else has been experiencing something similar?

    Dno, mine seem pretty good. One site I have is making me £8/day with only a homepage. I haven't build 1 link (no idea how it's ranking), but the CPC is £1.50-£2 per click.. I'll never understand Google's rankings nor adsense... But, I'm not moaning at £240/month from a site that I've only written a 500-word post for and that's it. ha

    Just got back from a #BrightonSEO. I was given room 404 in the hotel I stayed at. Couldn’t find it anywhere!

      Yeah, it's been that high since I started the particular site about a year ago. Very small home decorating niche, gets 160 - 220 visitors a day. Up until the beginning of Jan it was making £20 - £30 a day, that's now down to as low a £10 on some days.
