Stats stuck again?

Anyone else experiencing this?

[leveldisc]

I know it happens all the time, but its still nice to know you're not the only one.

[ken_b]

Mine are fine.

[ltedesco]

Mine is terrible, worst ever! I am afraid that is not the Adsense, but Google SERPs changing.

Hi,
My impressions are stuck at some very low earlier value today.

[OptiRex]

Our traffic levels are very low today, less than Xmas, New Year's Day, 4th July, Labour Day etc, obviously we are putting this down to Rita however, at the same time, our earnings have actually been normal...which bears out our usual earnings pattern with the presumed many USA visitors surfing but not clicking...

Our server logs are showing the same low levels as Adsense.

[Sobriquet]

i dont know if they are stuck or just slow. Mine is at 50% of weeks average today.

[ann]

so far, going on 1 am stats are still out of whack.

The impressions are down, the clicks are absolutely ridiculous, only half of what they normally are for even this many impressions.

I sure hope I am due for a click, impression dump!

This is horrible.

Maybe everyone is watching disaster TV today.

Same here, Ann ... normal impressions and fewer than a quarter of the usual clicks. Weird.

[ann]

Thank God It's not just me :)

I put this major downturn in traffic to a major update
at Yahoo. Check out the Yahoo forum threads. Over the
last 72 hours, the index has been rebuilt ...

[OptiRex]

Hmmm...completely normal impressions and earnings once all the figures had updated.

[ysari]

Good for those not affected by the Google shakeup. I lost 60-70% of my traffic from Google from my other keywords (though I'm still in the top 10 for my most important keyword). But it is unnerving to see a totally clean white hat site go from $500+ to less than $100 per day. It's been ages since I earned less than $100. I do not check my stats anymore; it's the hubby who tells me the dismal news.

[djulien]

Yesterday proved to be the lowest day in earnings and clicks in two months, yet impressions were normal.

[blue_eagle]

EPC is normal but traffic and therefore clicks are very low. There is not a major google update right?

[Tropical Island]

There is not a major google update right?

Every time I hear someone in WW mention "Google Update" I immediately check RankPulse to see if there has been any spike in rankings.

There hasn't been so you can discount that theory. Doesn't mean that the normal fluctuations may not have affected your site.

Football has returned. College on Saturdays and professional on Sundays. Our weekends are always slow in the fall because half of America thinks they need to watch large men chase after a ball.

[Tropical Island]

Don't forget "The President's Cup" was also this weekend.

Lot's to keep people away from their computers.

[OptiRex]

It really is time that the USA realised that the majority of Internet usage is non-USA...the figure I can find for 2002 was:

World Total 605.60 million
Africa 6.31 million
Asia/Pacific 187.24 million
Europe 190.91 million
Middle East 5.12 million
Canada & USA 182.67 million
Latin America 33.35 million

However the figures for 2004 estimate as follows:

English 287.5 million 35.8%
Non-English 516.7 million 64.2%

My point?

Stop believing it is a North American effect/event which is influencing your earnings etc. There's a whole world of traffic out there which many of us are not even exploiting as yet.

[ember]

Believe me, I know there is a whole world outside of the U.S. out there, but we target the U.S. and so football affects us and I am sure others.

[BruceDowns]

My impressions are about normal, but my clicks are absolutely ridiculous, I usually fall around the 0.8 to 1.2 range but so far today I had only one click for 1,300 impressions. Since last Thursday my earnings have dropped 68%.

[Swebbie]

Stop believing it is a North American effect/event which is influencing your earnings

Ahh, but it IS an American effect for many of us. My logs show an overwhelming majority of my sites' traffic comes from the USA. Stands to reason that when America is experiencing anything that might keep folks away from their computers, my stats will take a hit. Happens like clockwork on Labor Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, etc.

[OptiRex]

My logs show an overwhelming majority of my sites' traffic comes from the USA.

And so do mine however I do not believe them simply because so many ISPs use com/net/org/biz/info and many businesses likewise.

I have tried to find out whether I am correct about this since I have huge volumes of traffic from China, India, The Middle East and Europe and my logs keep trying to convince me that 90% of my traffic is from the USA when I know it is blatantly incorrect.

On major US holidays I do not see a dramatic fall in earnings, certainly I see a reduction in traffic but nothing worse than a weekend.

Stop believing it is a North American effect/event which is influencing your earnings etc.

Sorry...this should have read:

Stop believing it is simply a North American effect/event which is influencing your earnings etc.

I do know many US webmasters who block visitors from outside the USA...their decision, not mine!

I don't have time to get into a discussion about this since I have to leave now on business to Italy until next Sunday:-)

Incidentally I just found these statistics as a percentage of world users 23rd July 2005:

Asia 1.7%
Africa 34.5%
Europe 28.7%
Middle East 2.3%
N America 23.8%
Latin America/Carribean 7.3%
Oceania/Australia 1.8%

If you would like a link to this let me know however bear in mind I'm away..........
