Completely stuck Weds or totally fubard...I'm getting fed-up of this :-(

[alephh]

It would be much less stressfull for publishers if G would just show the earnings for the previous day, not for the current day ;-/

[gouri]

I am seeing the stats stuck on Wednesday.

[realmaverick]

Don;t think I've seen stuck stats all week. No idea why this stuff is effecting some and not others

[johnnie]

Today has been slow all day, but I guess that just happens.

[mysticalsock]

Phew glad it's not just me then. Impressions are a bit lower than normal but ecpm and earnings are down by 97% :(

[Scurramunga]

Stats are not stuck because that implies a temporary condition. They just don't move at all,

[J_Evans]

The only thing stuck is my clicks, impressions are low. It just seems wierd that after 5 above average days everything falls on its face starting with yesterday. I just don't understand the drastic ups and downs.

[andrewshim]

Total earnings so far : 34 cents. Yes, DEFINITELY stuck.

[Play_Bach]

Stats haven't moved for hours here either (SF Bay Area).

[purplecape]

I'm with alephh--let's end "real-time" reporting! If Google only did once daily updates, think of the time we would save....

[StarryEyed]

I'll chime in - stats are stuck for me as well. Impressions are behind and earnings are in the "why bother" catagory... :(

[theonly2]

Don't stats struck very often now days?
I am making too less now days that I have stop worrying about stats.I am down by 100 times what I was making in 2007

[loner]

I'm thinking that the stats aren't "stuck" at all.

[mysticalsock]

No turns out that they weren't as the couple of cents earnings didn't increase.

[Karma]

My earnings were correct (afaik) but my CTR was either stuck or broke (approx 60% lower).

[johnnie]

Turned out to be a slightly below-average day. Nothing special.

[HuskyPup]

After an overnight mini-dump, earnings etc were at my new, much lower norm.

Overall my EPC is just holding up, with no help from AdLinks EPC, however what did they do a couple of weeks ago to reduce CTR so much?

Insofar as I can see we have a new "Glitch", I'm not saying it's broken just another algo tweak that's screwing us over, and these are our new metric levels and we either have to live with them or say goodbye.

At least the parlous state of Sterling is making things easier for me to bear however if this downward path were to continue month by month then come the summer AdSense will be gone from all my sites.

I shall not be donating ad space to Google for free.

IMO Google definitely did something quite major. CTR has been significantly lower since early March.

From 3% to 1% on one particular ad channel. I recently switched from a 234x60 to 300x250 and CTR has gone up to 2%.

In the past, in this particular spot, 300x250 would generally get 2% CTR, whereas 234x60 would get 3%.

I have no real idea what's going on, but playing about with my setup has helped me bring my stats back up.

I have thrown this into the discussion over a year ago, but it might be worth considering the possibility that there are changes which alter the way clicks are recognised as relevant.

Maybe it's ad blindness kicking in?
