For reports - is it safe to assume that if one of 'Page impressions' 'Clicks' 'Clickthrough rate' 'Your earnings' is correct that they are all correct.
In other words are they all updated at the same time?

Nope - They are out of sync from time-to-time
I have seen a positive revenue when there were ZERO clicks

Thanks 4eyes.
So the picture I'm getting (from my data and your info) is that 'Page impressions' 'Clicks' 'Clickthrough rate' are updated simultaneously (but obviously not in anything approaching real-time) and that 'Your earnings' is computed later and may lag.
Fair assumption?

georgeek, I don't think that's a valid assumption. Clicks and impressions do not always update on the same delay. In fact, it's possible they *never* update on the same delay. As discussed in a couple of threads this weekend, Saturday reported impressions were updated *much* more slowly than clicks for some (maybe all) publishers.

Thanks for the heads up, I guess I need to rethink what's happening...
