Impressions slumped although CTR is high :( Help

    Hi

    At first I was generating a good amount of impression with YSM, my CTR was ranging around 7% - 15% for the first few days. But suddenly my impressions count has slumped, although my CTR and my bid doesn't change. In fact for most keywords, my ads positions are in 1 - 3. My quality index also stays in the 3rd bar although I have good CTR.

    Any tips on how to jack the impression back up? I don't see any point in raising my bids since my position is already good and I am paying way less than my max CPC.

    Update: I changed one of my ads and my ads now have 4/5 QI.
    Impressions tanked heavier than before two days after I change my ads. My position increases to number 1. Let's see how it goes on this week and I'll ask the support about this.

    My impressions haven't had a significant drop. Clicks are fluctuating slightly, but still around mid-hundreds per day.

    Probably its related to your niche? Off-season?

    Or maybe try to see if any particular keyword has gotten disabled. You can't really tell from a glance - have to dig into each ad to really see if its been disapproved.
