I run a website that gets decent ad revenue (usually around $2,000/month) and so far month to date in April is down 54% versus the same day last month, and March was already down 14% from February. CPC for March was $0.60 but April is only $0.30 so far. Traffic, CTR, and fill rate haven’t changed, just drastically lower CPC.

I do some ecomm stuff; sales are down about that much on Amazon; our direct is up but only ~25%. My point is; sounds about right...

If you don't want to answer, it's totally fine.

What ad platform do you use? Google?
