clicks & $ added 36hrs later

[onfire]

Late yesterday (Saturday) I noticed that my earnings for Thursday had actually increased by x clicks and x$

I had actually thought Thursday was a bit of a slow day, (that's why i remember clearly the amount and the clicks for that day) as it was unusually low in earnings when compared with the amount of clicks for the other days.

But it was nice to see this increase, i can only conclude that some of the clicks must have been held back for some reason.

I cannot see there being a delay of 24 -36hrs when Friday was finished and half of Saturdays stats were already showing.

Anybody else ever see this?

Yes, I noticed that once so far. I guess that some of their autmatic fraud detection mechanisms put the respective clicks on hold temporarily. A human review may then decide about whether they're actually good or not.

It's obviously nicer that way than if they'd subtract suspicious clicks from your stats after they sat there for a few days... ;)

Total agree, seems to be more detailed manual intervention going on now, instead of just shooting off an email saying we have detected fraudulent clicks -- goodbye.

Which is good news for all of us, and a good sign as its been a while now since anybody reported being booted from the program.

That's really interesting, because I noticed on Thursday that my clicks and ctr was dramatically lower... I even posted here about it.. Although Thursday's clicks & $ have not been adjusted for me.

I think google either experienced some tech difficulties or they were doing some sort of large scale audit.
