AdSense stats no longer crazy

Anyone else seeing this?

[dataguy]

My AdSense stats have been crazy for about a week, but as of about an hour ago, everything changed and went back to what I used to call normal. What seems to have changed is the ad unit impressions show about double what they were before, which changes the CTR and eCPM. Now they appear much more realistic.

This changed all at once, anyone else see this besides me?

No changes yet in my case. Stats are "crazy" for 5 days now

I'm not so sure, but I think Google changed the Page impressions numbers in their reports as of Wednesday 4 May - Thursday 5 May - (the day Adsense and Adwords went down for nearly a day).

Before if you checked Page impressions with:

"Show data by Page"

you would get numbers which were too high and nearly equalled:

"Show data by Individual Ad Unit".

For example, if you were showing a lot of Adlinks together with normal Adsense ads the Individual Ad Unit impression would be very high, but the normal Page impressions with "Show data by Page were unnaturally high as well (there should only be one page impression if you have two normal ads and an Adlink on one webpage).

I think Google more or less fixed that as of 5 may.

sorry: page impression ratio change already posted here: [webmasterworld.com...]

they most probably had to fix that to accomodate correct page impressions data for the new CPM program...
