Stat Attack - June 1st 2009

Stats stuck again.

[axvil83]

My new way of describing that feeling in my chest. lol

Anyway else seeing stuck stats? They were stuck yersterday too.

[londrum]

i sure hope they've fiddled with something. the last two days have seen both my CTR and my eCPM drop by half, literally. overnight.

normally i'd go down the pub when that happens, but it's too hot.

[radix]

smartpricing has struck - or something else causing my EPC down in the drain today.

[Radejr]

I'm just saying a person says crap im stuck lets go post on a forum to reassure myself. Ok. Posted. Waiting for people to respond. go back and refresh stats. Still stuck...wait i have a reply....o its just radejr being dumb....refresh stats....dang still stuck...wait another reply....o yes its not just me....go back and refresh....its an endless cycle the time you waste on the forum making sure its not just you and feeling the reassurance that everything will be ok its not a bad day its just stats.... It could be a bad day. Just saying don't spend so much time checking them because you could be the cause of the slow updates.

because you could be the cause of the slow updates.

Somehow I don't think checking the stats causes what, 1/2 million Dells was the last figure I saw bandied about, to slow down...lack of electricity may do though:-)

[littlegiant]

What the heck is going on today? Impressions are normal but eCPM and CTR are totally in the crapper. Like 20% of normal. I really hope this is some kind of glitch.

[Play_Bach]

Stuck

[drall]

50% down from normal today.

[HuskyPup]

Normally my best day of the week...hmmm...cauliflower!

Just why oh why oh why do they have so many tecchie problems?

Any other company and they would be GONE...do they care about us?...Nah...!

[johnnie]

Wow, today is abysmal again. Yesterday, CTR was at 30% of its normal level. Today it is at 20%.

Brilliant. Sigh...

[Lame_Wolf]

For me, Tuesday was the best day for some time. Almost got my baseline figure. Still well below normal earnings, but acceptable...almost.

[HuskyPup]

Abysmal Tuesday...Google PIs v my logs, nowhere near! Yes, I do know Google PIs do not correlate directly to my metrics however they are usually directly comparable.

This is now a regular occurence, stats stuck = usually bad earnings' day.

FWIW my PIs and earnings were similar to a weekend, not normal.

[johnnie]

Wow, today is abysmal again. Yesterday, CTR was at 30% of its normal level. Today it is at 20%.

Brilliant. Sigh...

I know its uncommon to quote oneself, but I've just had the sour notion that I may have to redefine 'normal'.

[realmaverick]

I'd almost given up posting about #*$! stats. But today my CTR is below low.

They better not have done more to further cut our earnings....

[Play_Bach]

Yesterday's earnings wound up higher than average. Yay.

[sunhapol]

today is a very low earning day for me ...

[clearvision]

Count me, low earnings this morning.
4 people confirming below low stats should help ease the nerves. Keep in mind they are having an update today so maybe they just started early.

I didn't even notice they were stuck yesterday, but rev. was sweet by the end of the day :) !

[WolfLover]

Yes, morning of June 3rd, VERY SLOW. ASA said they are doing maintenance today but not until 3pm PDT, so that is still a few hours away.

I HOPE stats are stuck.

[HuskyPup]

My CTR is way down today BUT my average EPC is up 33% so far.

I don't think the stats are stuck, I think this is the new AdSense reality for some of us hence why my EPC is up.

I think that advertisers are having to pay more to get clicks in my sector.

Would that be a reasonable assumption or am I thinking too much? :-)

[WolfLover]

HuskyPup, I think most of us "think too much", lol. It's all we can do when we are trying to wrap our heads around why earnings are down. Yeah, yeah, I know all too well about the economy, however, my earnings have been decent for the past few months, but some days are way off.

[IanCP]

On a different forum a friend just observed:

"I don't look at AdSense much now because I'm finally cured of GASS"

Google AdSense Stats Syndrome

[johnnie]

At least things have recovered with grace for me.

[littlegiant]

Yeah things recovered for me as well. Even yesterday, after a ridiculous start, it gradually recovered throughout the day and the day ended at about 80% of normal earnings. Not sure that was a stats stuck glitch after all.

[Play_Bach]

Clicks were down +50% yesterday :-(

[frakilk]

Yesterday was beyond awful.

[koan]

Awful is the new up ;)

[chrism]

We were about 70% down yesterday too - impressions look fine but ctr is just under 1/3rd normal.

Edit: can't spell!

[HuskyPup]

Yesterday was beyond awful.

My best day since 6th April and then I have to go back to the beginning of February however the real reason and most significantly was my EPC at just over +28%!

I wonder how long this will last?
