Major AdSense Reporting Lag on Oct 6. 2010

Massive Click Dumps Being Reported Oct 7.

[Rodeo]

Just an hour or so to end oct 6, for around 10000 impressions this morning (Taiwan time, GMT+8), I'm seeing single digit earnings.
CTR has plummeted, eCPM is plummeted, and earnings worse this morning. Impressions are counting normally though.
Anyone seeing similar things?

[netmeg]

Stats haven't moved in over an hour for me, and my analytics show lots of traffic, so I'm sure it will catch up.

[cien]

Never mind; Maintenance day.

[whywhywhy]

Same here $0.59 in 4-5 hours it's crazy... low earning, low cpc... all low today

[tristanperry]

Seem stuck here too. As cien says, they are performing maintenance today so it might just be a by-product of that.

I hope.

Edit: Actually yep, it might well be that. We were meant to not be able to even login between 10am to 2pm PDT (and I believe it's now 2:08pm PDT?), so it might be that the stats freeze over the past 4-5 hours was a direct result of that.

Also note that Chris over at Google Forums says:

"Reporting may also be a little wonky right after the maintenance, but should be back on track by the end of the day."

Again, I hope this is the case ;-)

[cien]

I'm back on track.

How BAD can this get?

Sad day so far.

[eniac]

another bad day

[jmccormac]

Stats are completely dead today.

Actually I don't know that they did the maintenance yesterday. Didn't appear to go down from end.

Good day for me yesterday(after the click dump) and good day today.

Sunday 10:34 am. Low everything. Stats stuck

[kd454]

Stats are deff stuck.. will dump later.

[Play_Bach]

Depressing.

[mhale]

Today is another "pretty good" day. I do notice that there is often a click dump about halfway through the day. Here's crossing my fingers and hoping that the rest of you will have your dump soon. (Hmm. . . that last sentence sounds somewhat unsavory. But you get my point!)

[tristanperry]

Not been a great day for me today, although the past 4 days (before today, that is) I've had pretty good days so I guess it balances out.

[cien]

5:36 pm. Cien has had a horrible Adsense day. CTR and EPC are way down.

I swear that thing is going backwards today. Maybe it's just this cheap rum. :-) Amazingly good past week though...

[cien]

9:39 pm. Click dump! Everything back to normal. So far a pretty good day.

[whywhywhy]

Yesterday was a good day, but today don't seem count the clicks... 3 clicks in 5 hours, a JOKE

[JCKline]

Another sad day for me.

[whywhywhy]

low cpc value

[JCKline]

Stats have been stuck now for the last 4 hours...with 0 clicks.

[tristanperry]

@JCKline - yep, they definitely look stuck. My impressions are rising, but I havent't seen any rise in clicks in the past few hours. StatsCounter is reporting there's been a decent number of clicks in that time so hopefully is a stats freeze.

October is truly a rollercoaster month!

[eniac]

which counters do you use to track adsense clicks?

[tristanperry]

I use StatsCounter. Which isn't the most accurate (since it sometimes says I've clicked on my ads, when all I've done is browse my website), but it seems to give a good indication overall of how things are going in that day.

[cien]

Yeah bad day so far. Hoping for the clickbump.

Tristanperry, You can block your ip address with statcounter under "Edit Settings" when you click on the wrench tool. I have blocked also "some" ips from google, adsense, yahoo and Bing bots:

207.46.*.*
65.55.*.*
66.249.*.*

[tristanperry]

cien, thanks for the tip :) Have blocked my IP now and will definitely consider blocking "some" of the bots too ;-)

[mhale]

It's a CRAZY good day today!

edit deleted.

[ElvisFan]

What was supposed to have been 'fixed' last week is NOT working ... the month of October has been a record low for me... despite the fact that my traffic is at an all time high...

On top of that my stats total changes every time I login... even after the end day... I keep losing money
20 cents here and 30 cents there... I can't believe that to be invalid clicks...

And more so the final total on my payment page for every month this year has been lower than the total is for the month by a couple of dollars... this can't be due to the conversion rate exchange as I now get all totals in AUD dollars...

Is this happening for anyone else? Any suggestion?

Been with adsense for five years now so I do have some sense of what degree of what earnings to expect every month

[jmccormac]

Looks like they've broken something else. A particularly bad day. Last week ended quite well but it looks like what ever they "fixed" screwed things up again. Time to delete a few more of their networks to see if it makes a difference.

10 pm, Monday. Lowest day of the month today. Traffic and CTR were up, EPC WAY down.
