Just in case anyone needed proof that the impressions, clicks and earnings shown on AdSense reports can be out of sync; this morning I logged in to see three clicks from zero impressions. That's one hell of a click-through-rate!

What does it show the CTR as?

0.0%, but I think infinity would be more appropriate.

>> infinity
Yeah, and with that kind of CTR all you need is one impression and you've got it made.

From my extremely limited information (Monitoring 2 accounts), the degree of the problem with the time lag seems to vary from one account to another.

It would be great if there was a "As of" timestamp for both impressions and clicks.

The funny thing is that one account seems to be stuck but another UK account is working as normal.

hmm, earnings for the last two days seem to be affected as well.
And is anyone showing lower impressions than usual for Monday and Tuesday?

Yep, something definately going on with the reporting, all I have for today is.

I'm UK based too. Funny week for stats, CJ has been playing up for the last few days too.
Oh well!

I guess I got your impressions for those days! :-)

My impressions have been lower starting with March first. I was wondering if I should block some of the common ads to give out more variety. But then that wouldn't explain the sudden change starting the first to the month.

Stats seem to be coming back to life, yesterdays earnings slowly creeping up, hopefully it will be 100% fixed soon!

That's good news. It would suggest that the lower impressions I had for those days wasn't an Adsense problem per se. (Becuase frustratingly Adsense problems are the only ones you can't do a damn thing about)

Just had the worse day yet. Poor click through and overall earnings. I guess I'll hang on a couple more days before I start making major changes in case it's just reporting but I'm starting to wonder.
