My statistics are acting very strange.

I've never seen this before - perhaps you have.

Earlier today I was checking my statistics, and I distinctly remember that I had x number of clicks in a specific channel. I remember the exact amount of $ that this number of clicks produced and I recall being disappointed in the amount.

Approx. 1 hour later I checked, and with no new clicks in that channel, the total $ earned had changed for the better by a significant amount.

This is taking place in the Summary... I see things like this from time to time in the advanced statistics, but never in the Summary.

So about 20 minutes ago I checked the stats and I recorded the total dollar amount that the summary had for my site as a whole for today, and I also recorded the number of clicks.

I checked just prior to writing this - and the total amount had changed to a slightly lesser amount with the same number of clicks.

The only reason I can think that this could happen is if they find a click to be invalid and disregard it - but that doesn't explain why I saw an increase in $ on the same number of clicks earlier in the day.

Either I am very unattentive, and just didn't ever notice this or something strange is going on.

Probably accessing different servers for the data, it is nothing unusual, I have seen it before... that is why they say wait 24 hours for the accurate stats ;)

Good - then its not just me.

I've just never tracked my stats as closely as I have been as of recent. I've been extremely hard at work and it is starting to pay off.

The ups and downs are frustrating at times. I think that I need to start analyzing larger time spans of data... before I lose my mind. How do you guys keep from freaking out while you're waiting for the "official" report to come through?

Perhaps it just takes time... I mean, I've been in the program just short of a year - but I just recently really started to bust tail on my websites. (Tired of answering to a half-wit at work)

Geeesh, I'm windy today - I'll end my saga here, haha.
