May 12, 2006 the stats are slow today!

Tardy Updation:-)

[OptiRex]

Ok, they are updating albeit a long way behind, this doean't usually happen in the middle of the month.

What are they up to this time?

[pldaniels]

And with all of us bashing on the 'reload' button every 10 minutes we're just making it worse :D

Things actually started out really well today, right out on the first hour I was way above "normal" . . . now I'm curious to see what the last 4 hours have given.

[21_blue]

Optirex, you really ought to think about joining the AA (Adstatsaholics Anonymous) :-).

And if the stats really are in the doldrums, then I'm in for a cracking day as things look pretty normal to me.

[OptiRex]

When I'm earning as much as you 21_blue, I'll probably find time to join the AA:-))

[pldaniels]

A good way to avoid AA is just to have 2 computers open, then you can avoid the updating caching issues, instead of one update an hour you can now get usually 2 :D

[greedy player]

AA is not mistakenly our home of which is also known as webmasterworld/forum89.

I was wondering about the same thing, but I did some changes / removal of non performing ads yesterday, and was thinking it was that. Praying for a serious click dump now.

Adstatsaholics is not an accurate term, Greenaholics is more like it.

[OptiRex]

Greenaholics is more like it.

Or is it Greedaholics?

Stats have caught up a little, mine look about two hours behind now.

[BillyS]

These threads are actually useful. Traffic picked up considerably for me yesterday. Today,it was way below normal. I figured someone flipped back the switch.

[hunderdown]

Looks normal to me.

[ann]

They need to put an update day and time on the stats page. :)

I've experienced the same thing. I'm praying for a click dump too right now.

[greedy player]

seems like its worse today than ever in history :(

[Hobbs]

yep
giving up on a click dump
smells like smart pricing hit (update) to me.

[ken_b]

We get stats?

[fredw]

greedy: if it stays on this course, this will be my worst day ever as well.

[Play_Bach]

> seems like its worse today than ever in history :(

Yesterday was my lowest earnings since Dec 19, 2004!
Fortunately today is doing better, though still only about 1/3 of what AdSense was averaging for me just a couple of months ago (before Froogle started showing up in the SERPs and Big Daddy hit).

"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."

[BillyS]

>>They need to put an update day and time on the stats page. :)

Great idea.

[greedy player]

100% positive google had dropped its value, by looking at earnings per click its obvious... I'm having a bad month, going to have to learn kickboxing or somthing to let all my rage out..but first time to wash the dieshes with violence. lol.

[jawhite]

My CTR is down 30% today. It is normally VERY consistent and varies less than .5%. Today it has dropped 4% points. PPC is still about the same.

[javahava]

same here; seeing some strange things. impressions up by 30%, but the channels aren't adding up; don't know where the extra impressions are from. also, the ecpm took the nosedive of nosedives.

[Hobbs]

and there is a "routine AdSense maintenance on Saturday, May 13"
my experience is that there is usually a slump right before a maintenance.
Change is in the air again.

[testike]

Same here. impressions are the same but earnings down 20% from daily average but still better than nothing ;)

[fredw]

My Adsense still in a nose dive. Yesterday was my worse day ever, but today is on track for being even worse. My earnings today might go below 50% my previous daily average.

[fredw]

From your lips, Hobbs. I'm dieing over here...

[greedy player]

today is worse than any of the last days! my earnings are down to litrally 20% of what i normaly earn... Someone help!

[Groo]

Worst day since I joined years ago

Scary.

[GoldenHammer]

That seems another "reset" effect from the AS algorthm. It pulls out dozen of MFA ads, both CTR and CPM are going to toilet.

I just replaced the AS codes by some other CPM ads in these few days.

[Play_Bach]

Where's the aspirin.

[ann]

I need something stronger. Please pass the Anacin. :)
