2008-10-23: Stats Delayed Today?

Or is it only me.

[Erku]

My stats are very much delayed today. Is it only me?

[HuskyPup]

Nope, mine would seem to be a long way behind, that's assuming anyone is clicking on my sites!

[nomis5]

Mine seem OK. Hopefully they are delayed and I'll get a click download as well. No chance.

[HuskyPup]

I've just doubled my clicks and earnings, hopefully there is more to come:-)

[mysticalsock]

Mine have been delayed for about a month :(

Those were mine Husky. Gimee back my clicks!

Gimee back my clicks!

Hmmm...you must've got 'em since NOWT'S happening again! Page impressions counting however nothing else has hardly moved.

[Lame_Wolf]

one of my channels covers almost 1400 pages. It is normally in top or second place for earnings.
Today it almost at the bottom of the list with hardly a click.

As a whole, the amount of clicks for this time of day for the site (not the channel) is within parameters.

[HuskyPup]

Thursday was a very low CTR day, 2nd lowest of the month and I earned less than either last Saturday or Sunday which are traditionally my lowest days.

EPC slightly below average however one consolation is the collapsing value of the Pound!

[andrewshim]

Honestly don't know what to make of it. One day high CTR, eCPM and earnings, next day low CTR, eCPM and earnings. Pretty consistent pattern.

I wonder if at times the stats are delayed or confused on purpose to help ward off manipulation. Unfortunately, the collateral damage is countless webmasters banging their heads in frustration trying to make sense of it.

[HuskyPup]

Pretty consistent pattern.

Yeah, the only consistency is their inconsistency!

I think it's just taking longer and longer to calculate the value of a click, by the time you figure in all the anti-fraud detection and the always-increasing number of publishers and advertiser quality score and smart pricing and all the stuff we don't even know about yet.
