LOW impressions and CTR

It is now 12:35pm Central Time USA. I am down about 60% from yesterday at this time. (Yesterday was a good day, especially for a holiday).

Anyone else having either a really bad day or noticing any slow updates?

It's too early in the day to draw any meaningful conclusions about what your earnings will be after the day is over.

You'll burn out if you keep worrying. Forget about it and do something else. Then check your reports again after midnight Google time.

Hi,

My earnings are a bit low today because I had a partial server outage... B^>

But CG is right. NEVER obsess about intra-day stats: from time to time many many hours' worth of different parts of the data can get delayed in the system for example, meaning that the numbers may or may not have any value at all!

And for those of us, including myself, who check their reports several times a day, remember that to monitor the day's progress you can check "This month" and "All time" as well because they are sometimes a bit more current than the Overview.

LOL, I don't think I'm obsessed, not too much anyway! I do keep a record of various times of the day, every day just to kind of see what the busiest times of day are, etc.

So looking back on this time of day for me over the last couple of months, today, is way down. I checked my keywords, and I'm still on top, so that is not the issue.

I was just wondering if today, being the day AFTER a holiday was bad for others, or just me!

All I can do is hope for a huge click dump! lol

I hate being the one to start this type of thread! WHY did I do it, huh? :-)

'cuz if you didn't, one of us closet obsessives would have to instead! B^>

Yep, early on the stats were very slow to update however they've started catching up now and mine look almost "normal".

For what it's worth... after four spectacular days I'm witnessing a similar scenario to WolfLover's. I actually thought maybe MY server was down!

So far, unlike OptiRex, I'm not seeing the stats recovering and continue to sit at about 20% of yesterday's activity.

Maybe there'll be some improvement later... hopefully!

I have the opposite. (As martinibuster had predicted) now the holiday weekend is over, my lousey CTR has bounced back to its usual level!

Chapman, I'm sorry for you but it's always good not to be the only one in a sinking boat! ;-)

Right now, I'm at 50% of yesterdays earnings at this same time yesterday. The first four days were not spectacular but were average with the actual holiday (Labor Day), being above average when I was expecting it to be bad like the July 4th holiday weekend.

So, today, being this bad was surprising. I hope for yours and my sake, Chapman, that this is just a lag in the UPDATION!

Thanks WolfLover... always nice to have company!

Some slight movement in impressions but clicks are where they normally would be around 10 AM.

"tok-tok-tok... Is this on?" ;-)

LOL! how can you be NOT TOO obsessed?! You either are or aren't! I'm OBSESSED! If I could lug my pc on my back everywhere I go so I could check my stats, I'd do it, except there isn't a telephone cable long enough!

Scary....very scary indeed. Compared to last year it is doing the exact opposite. Last sept was double july and aug , this sept is less than half, yet traffic levels havnt changed, just super low epc all of a sudden.

Very slightly lower than Tuesdays in August, but I was expecting higher.

Hmm...strange...my earnings have been skyrocketing for the past few days.

Yeash!

That not a real day!

Everybody in the USA is jammed for time, hung over & exausted!

Pissed-off that they had to go back to work or school and didn't get any rest.

Do you think that is going to be a good day?

You guys crack me up!

That's why I just gave Brett my $89, so I could keep laughing!
