Zero Clicks

Nearly 1000 impressions, no clicks, strange!

Today I've had almost 1000 impressions - I have about 300 pages with ads - and no clicks. Normally, I average about a 1.2% CTR. This has never happened before and I'm just a bit alarmed. Any thoughts?

Wait a little bit longer - it is possible that some parts of the stats are delayed.

Now, clicks coming through. Still a little low, but better than ZERO.

You have to wait at least until 2 am PST the next day to see acurate stats. Even then it can chnage but rarely changes much. This month has been an exception. People saw changes weeks after this month. If you have a new account it might be 48 hours before it settles but 2 am PST is probably not that far off.

Totally agreed. Too many people are coming here saying that their CTR is low or impressions are way off etc etc before the day even ends in Cali.

This might have something to do with it. Just received an email from G explaining that there was a delay that "resulted in a portion of clicks and earnings from the last few weeks being slow to appear in your account."

Put together with normal reporting lags that can explain a few discrepancies of late.
