Anyone else seeing extremely slow or stats not updating at all?

Are they having a sneeky maintenance on a Saturday afternoon and hope no one will notice? :-)

Thanks for the information Martinbuster. I'm now better informated about the US, the fact that they too have weekend and play sport. Did they not do this last week and the week before as well?

Sorry, I wasn't aware I had made any political comments - not my scene.

By the way, it's the World Series of Baseball in four hours, so no doubt there are millions in in the US in preparation for this event.

And while all the man are watching TV the woman go shopping on the Internet ;)

Yes!

And didn't we have this slow update discussion last week and the week before as well?

Btw, the World Series of Baseball is one of the United States most significant sports events of the year. As I mentioned before, when noting English speaking traffic, US traffic is the most significant from any single country. So it's important to note US cultural events that may affect English speaking traffic.

I'm not being nationalistic, just stating the plain facts, so don't stone me ok? ;)

I'll give you that one - there's a stats are slow thread going most days.

But I credit senior members like Optirex as having the experience to know about weekends. Slow stats are how we know it must be the week end anyway. ;)

How perplexing. I will have watched EVERY single baseball playoff game for this year, by the end of the world series, and usually do each year.

Question: All these people "preparing" for the game? How exactly might they be doing that? I'm afraid I've been doing it wrong all these years, since basically, I turn on the TV, lie down, and watch.

I haven't gotten so old it takes me four hours to turn on the TV, and I can actually lie down in about twenty minutes with a good tailwind.

Ya figure they all do stretching before they lie down? What?

Well I dont care how many people in the US play or watch football (is that still football?) or any hols etc my stats are better than usual!

I say they should do that (american football thing whatever that is) every weekend...

My page impressions still look low, but the epc and click through are higher than they were for a month. I think the stats are fine, except maybe impressions.

probably why my traffic is down by about 40%. my main traffic comes from the US.... but like everything normally abnormal about Adsense, earnings are above average with higher than normal earnings per click.

Same here in the uk. EPC and click through up. Traffic down. Earnings above average.

The distinctions between baseball and football were discussed here in this thread:

Sports is not a solitary event for everyone, where you plop into a couch and turn on the television. It's a community thing, too.

I just got back from the local market. Their beer section was pretty much bare to the wall. Personally, the only time I watch sports is when it's part of a he-man get together with friends. Some of my fondest sports memories are of watching Joe Montana in the Superbowl in the eighties while eating copious amounts of fried chicken and potato chips, lol.

Last time I watched sports was basketball in a corporate box with pmac and caveman...

I used to watch the Lakers games just because of Chick Hearn. He was an absolute master.

I haven't watched a basketball game since he died, and an era ended.

So, in short:-

  • People have lives at the weekend that don't involve surfing or clicking.
  • Google usually do the "updates" on weekends.
  • People report that weekend stats are slow / don't have many clicks.

Not a huge fan of these threads personally. Sometimes something interesting is gained, usually not.

So to vary off topic:-

Weekend weather in UK wet and windy.

Spoony and 4sure were robbed by being booted out of Strictly Come Dancing / x factor last night.

I had the van clamped on callout last night costing me £120 - click my ads to pay for it please :)

trannack - baseball or softball - its a bit like rounders.

My stats from the US are 40% up for this Saturday compared to last Saturday.

Maybe rounders isn't as popular with some surfers.

My reports don't seem to get click dumps. In the past several months, any time I've checked my reports they have seemed to be up-to-date.

In terms of earnings, yesterday (Saturday) was my second-best day ever, just short of my all-time best day, which was this past Sunday.

Yesterday stats all round were slightly up on last saturday - nothng out of the ordinary - just the normal up/down fluctuations.

I believe the term "round ball" refers to basketball with no relevance to either persuasion of football. That's how I've come to use it! ;-)

I'm not sure of the original question any longer, but netball is played with two teams and a basketball-like hoop at the end used for goal scoring (played by girls mainly), and rounders is a bit like baseball without all the body armour and uses a round ball.

and uses a round ball

I thought round balls were used in all ball games except for rugby and the US armoured version of it:-)

I know there is ladies rugger however are there any other sports played by men with odd-shaped balls?

Yesterday (21st) was fine for me, but today is weird. PV and CTR are very good, but my EPC is horrible - lowest ever. I should note that I've been seeing a lot of revenue after 11:00 EDT, which seems to indicate that earnings are not being calculated on the fly.

In other words, your reports will show PVs, Clicks, but the earnings portion of the equation may be lagging by 4-6 hours (maybe more). At least that's what I'm seeing, so I can't get excited or disappointed about performace until the next morning. Kinda like bar pick ups ;-)
