...all November 8th, no earnings calculated yet.

Is this a calc glitch or some new, unknown split emerging?

[signup1]

alpski,

we were on the same boat, but no more. i am with the rest now. wait 12 more hrs then email google.

[Undead Hunter]

Yeah, this is weird stuff.

Mine is low, middle, high. Only one somewhat matches one channel.

They don't match websites, either - I'm running ads on 4, but only 2 are performing well.

I like the theory about them being premium ads, normal, and discount pricing. Might be a way of telling us what kind of content we're catering too... hinting that better content might match better ads?

Beats me, total speculation here. I'd kind of appreciate a letter about these things, rather than have my heart jump out of my chest as I scramble to add the numbers, see if it all adds up.

I should note none of this says *approved* in any way. Just the totals...?

Same with all, I assume.

[alpski]

I have left the boat.

I am seeing it now, must have been one of the last updated.

Very strange, cool.

[icedowl]

Another to receive this quirky update late in the day.

Since there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to it, I'm thinking that something broke before the normal two total lines were created...

Make of it what you want, but it does at least add up correctly.

I'm seeing high, low, middle.

[amznVibe]

Waiting for JenStar to ring in and tell us what is going on ;)

[Sunflux]

12%, 67% and 21% for me. Nothing comes close to matching any one channel, though.

[eddy22]

I'm seeing high, low, middle too.
I do not use channels. I do not have adsense in my search etc...
I guess it's smart pricing ...

[alpski]

It seems no one's follows any patterns. Theres no rhyme or reason.

I am Middle, Low, High.

I've added up each day in different calculation, channels, everything i could think of for 20 minutes. Couldn't find any trend. I'm stumped.

[athar2100]

well now i check my payment history

the whole thing is changed

my total earning in oct month is divided in to three portions

Nov 8, 2004 Content - Earnings Accrued During October $$$
Nov 8, 2004 Content - Earnings Accrued During October $$$
Nov 8, 2004 Content - Earnings Accrued During October $$$

and the total of that is my actual revenue that i earned in oct month

well this is strange , have any one contacted google about that?

[RonPK]

Good morning athar, have some coffee and read the thread ;)

My guess is that the categories reflect epc:

< $ 0.10
$0.10 - $0.50
> $0.50

But maybe I'm just dreaming awake.

[darkmage]

Here is a bleeding obvious observation. There is no pattern. No, really? Do go on. Yep, no pattern. But no pattern does not suggest the numbers have no overall meaning.

Since we are speculating, I'll take a stab and say it is the same thing that causes a lot people to make rash and incorrect rants about Adsense going down the tubes, strange click behaviour and all those other things that people take guesses at. The answer? It's probably the google servers.

For me, the best bet is server redundancy. Google as a rule likes to use multiple server groups in different locations around the world. This shares the load, and creates redundancy in case of failure.

What I think you are seeing is each server reporting its earnings. There has been a bungle and instead of the total being displayed, it is the individual server group values.

This is crucial accounting info, so it is not easy thing to quickly correct.

[ncw164x]

yeah I could agree with that darkmage, I am showing 3 amounts for the search but only have the search on one site and no channels.

There is no distinct pattern for any of us

[bluemoonshine]

There is a possibilty that Google will deduct invalid or false clicks. Check here: [google.com...]

They have the right to deduct any fees or false clicks it seems.

I hope I'm wrong.

[Powdork]

I'll toss my hat in the ring just to get the thread to be on of my active ones.
1%
81%
18%

I'm hoping the middle one is what they'll triple as our christmas bonuses.:)

[totter]

25.5
73.1
1.4

I wonder if they can use these numbers to figure out whose been naughty. One number spikes when it shouldn't and you get a warning or an you're-outa-here email.

[hyperkik]

How about this for a possibility - it is an imperfect calculation of earnings per ad unit detected. The first detected on a page, then the second, then the third. (This possbility presupposes that the feature is in beta form, is giving some presently garbled results, but possibly to be formally announced after it has been refined and improved.)

[Powdork]

But we don't all use three ad groups. I have a couple of pages where I experiment with two but none on which I use three.

[nosense]

maybe they are just saying. look guys, the first part of the month sucks, the middle is great, and why not just take a nap on the last half ;)

Goog Statistical Quartiles.

[Powdork]

Maybe they're doing this with one hand to keep our attention while the other hand reaches for the big red button.

[ncw164x]

I thought it might relate to

1 Banners and Buttons
2 Towers
3 Inline Rectangles
but I only use 2 of the three ad formats

Tried adding up the weekends but they don't tally with any of the amounts, tried adding up amounts under a certain percentage, same as...doh

Maybe it's a new way of recruiting new google employee's, you know how they like to use cryptic clues and lateral thinking to keep you on your toes.

[freeflight2]

it probably shows the stats from 3 different datacenter the biggest from mountain view, then virgina and europe perhaps. It's definitely not about which banners were used since I only use 1 type - also search is splitted also with similar ratio than content

[yulia]

We have 3 options for ad type:
1.Use my default account setting
2.Text ads only on this page
3.Text and image ads on this page

In Search Setting, there are 3 options for a Search Box:
1.Google Search
2.Google SiteSearch
3.Use SafeSearch

[mivo]

As they say, everything is grouped in three's. Time has past, present and future; space has width, height and depth; matter has solid, liquid and gas; God - father, son and holy ghost, etcetera. Maybe Google is just trying to be in tune with nature.

[AdSenseAdvisor]

The accrued earnings 'phenomenon' you've noticed was the result of a technical glitch which should be fixed soon. Please rest assured that payments won't be affected in any way.

Thanks to all of you for your eagle eyes :)
ASA

[ken_b]

Thanks ASA

[Powdork]

Does that mean no christmas bonus?:(

[bts111]

Nice one ASA.

Now everyone can get back to work ; )

[Jenstar]

I also checked with Google on this. To follow up with what ASA said, it won't affect the the timing or the amount of the payments.

But I know everyone is speculating as to how it got split that way ;)

[Powdork]

After further review, the numbers do not add up. There is a two cent discrepancy with the three way split going in my favor.:)

[Sunflux]

Over here, two cents going *against* my favor. Obviously a rounding issue.
