As Google introduced the new feature ad impressions and page impressions, I wondered about the low ratio between the counts.
I expected more a ratio of 1:2
Exactly like it's now.
I distribute my ads by software automatic dependign of empty space below the menus and in a few cases one additional ad in the contence area.
So there are between 1 and 3 + AdLink on my pages.
Calculating half an hour delay,
the page impression count matches exactly
my own page view statistic with activated javascript.
It could be, that more than 1 ad block on a page was before counted correct or multiple at the page impressions.
It seems, that this problem is fixed now.
If you have had adsence and adlink on the same page, the page impressions counted twice.
Maybe the delay in stats yesterday is related to it.
If you have had adsence and adlink on the same page, the page impressions counted twice.
I have 3387 pages with 2706 adlinks on it.
When each page is one time viewed, this should be according to Your theory
3387+2706=6093 before
3387 after
This matches good my statistics above.
Actual Page Impression -- Ad sense Impressions
1/5 --- 5,251 --- 7,737
2/5 --- 7,375 --- 10,744
3/5 --- 8,349 --- 11,526
4/5 --- 8,191 --- 10,864
5/5 --- 7,599 --- 4,853
6/5 --- 5,340 --- 3,397
May well relate to the add-links one being counted twice.

This is because the "Page Impressions" has plummeted by a third in the last two days, but the "Ad Unit impressions" (and earnings!) have stayed constant. It makes historical analysis a bit redundant now. Mind you, the revised CTR when viewing by "Page Impressions" is incredibly impressive!
Also makes the CTR and CPMs look much more impressive, although I guess I won't be joining the 20,000,000+ club as quickly as I had hoped! :-)
