Googleview proportion surges - logs increase constatly

A google correction?

[stuartmcdonald]

My site is slowly rolling along, its a new site - low traffic, but increasing at steady, predictable rate (roughly doubles every month)

Recently we reached the minimun payout amount (100USD) - site is in a low click pmt area - and since then there appears to have been a major correction between pageviews (as recorded by Google) and the server stats.

Previously Google pageviews were about 40-50% of total views - I thought that was low, even when you took into account javascript and adblockers etc. Now they are arround the 75-80% mark - this is despite very similar amounts of bot and search engine traffic to the site.

Now - don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining! But am wondering what would cause the substantial correction, when all the other figures are increasing at the constant rate.

Any suggestions on what I should be looking for?

Maybe your most popular pages have Google ads on them while some of your other pages don't? Maybe you have more visitors with JavaScript / iFrame support. There are several options here.

For every 3 pageviews of my traffic (most bots are filtered from the stats), Google records about 2 pageviews in Adsense stats. It has been this way for a long time.

There are people who block Adsense, but after some research I've found them to be a negligible percentage - not even worth taking them into account.

Maybe two successive pageviews from the same IP/cookie with short delay between them (say, under 5 seconds?) are counted as one? This sounds fairly reasonable, actually.
