Though the last week of March was quite good, an advertising crunch perhaps as everybody scrambled to spend their marketing budgets? The two could even be linked, as Google monetises more of its properties there is less high paying ads left for Adsense publishers. Still, all bad for Google.

Now take last quarter, keep the same sluggish CPM/CPC rates and you've got yourself a simple equation there James. ; ) Hence Google trying to monetize the shit out of any product left on the table not displaying ads last quarter.

February has 10% less days than January. While Jan is a slower month than Feb generally a decline of -3% is about right. The real problem with the previous quarter is that CPM and CPC rates absolutely collapsed for many websites and thus likely for the big boys as well. Declines of around 50% were pretty common.
