Added Refresh Tag Accidentally - Adsense Revenues have been down ever since

Accidentally, my developer put a 5 second refresh tag on all my website ads (instead of the required 3 minutes auto-fresh on Tribal Fusion ads) and got all the ads to refresh every 5 seconds.

This went on for the whole night (9 hours) and next morning I discovered that my adsense earning had doubled and pageviews were 10 times more. I was expecting some policy violation notification but didn't get any.


As soon as I saw the skyrocketing page views, I knew something was wrong and immediately got the refresh tag removed from adsense.

Even since the removal, my site's revenue hasn't gone back to normal to pre-refresh figures and 30-35% less than the average.

Later, I also found out that the developer had changed the tags to Async mode and got him to switch back to Sync mode. Even then, my revenues have not picked up even when the traffic hasn't changed much.

1-19th March - Consistent Revenues
20th March - Refresh added by mistake on Adsense and revenue jumps by 100%
21st March - Refresh is removed from adsense with Async mode - Adsense Revenue continues to fall
1st April - Refresh is removed from Tribal Fusion Ad network as well and tags changed to Sync mode for Adsense.

For 1st-5th April, revenues continued to fall but suddenly on 6th April, revenue show a little spike of 15%.


I am wondering if there is any correlation between Snyc mode and the revenues?

Will the revenues go back to the pre 19th March level....I can't' tell.... with the same consistent traffic, revenues have dipped...and I know something has certainly gone wrong.


Any feedback would be much appreciated.
