sharp CTR decline in Feb?

Anyone else seeing a sharp dropoff in february as far as CTR goes? Below is a chart of my top 6 domains and their click-thru rates as a percentage. Makes me think something is wrong with the landers.

Domain Sept Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb
Domain1 93.63% 74.71% 79.71% 66.54% 53.24% 16.88%
Domain2 38.61% 38.34% 33.93% 28.09% 40% 8.86%
Domain3 64.81% 43.9% 31.25% 37.5% 40.43% 25%
Domain4 17.74% 50.72% 23.68% 44.12% 17.09% 0.35%
Domain5 18.06% 17.78% 23.16% 10.47% 24.48% 7.56%
Domain6 22.4% 19.23% 23.26% 23.89% 25.12% 2.06%

The domain names are not specific to one industry. Three are employment related, one is vacation/travel related, one is fitness related and one is stamp collecting related.

Also...all domains have been parked for at least the past 18 months.

Yahoo is definitely keeping more of the money with their "TQ system" (short for "we need to make more money")

Well...I pulled all of my domains and went back to domainsponsor. Immediately I saw about a 200% increase in CTR. I will keep an eye on this forum and will probably be back again.
