AdSense Reporting Delay January 2011

[eniac]

My adsense is still bad, no good change so far.

Do you think everything will be back normal in next weeks or months?

Hope we will rename this post title as "thanks adsense" in following weeks in a month.

G says we are making money with or without you :)
G can build many websites in every kind of topic and put high bids ads on their own site including gmail,forums,shopping site etc.
I think G does not have to pay for SEO services to get ranked :)

Then, if there are still ads available, maybe they put them on our website.
maybe they will shutdown adsense network or we'll have to shutdown our adsense codes in our websites.

what do you think?

The quarterly report goes on to prove this by showing that revenue for Google.com and other company sites is growing much faster than the network sites.

I read the report as saying that revenue growth is equal 3rd Q 2010 say 7% Q over Q and 22% year over year for each.

I read the stuff you quoted as boilerplate lawyer stuff. They have to inform their investors of the risks - they are risks - not projections.

Google isn't "putting" lower paying ads on our sites - they are getting less money for them on average + paying us a commission and that (they paying us) of course makes their margin lower.

People will stop using AdSense when they can make more money overall from another program. This occurs with some, but so far most people can't easily beat AdSense.

Very slow here too.

Count me in guys, the last 3 days earnings have been dismal. And the sad part is, I've promised to work on the site everyday (call this as an "2011" resolution). So, despite working and putting in all my efforts, it seems like things are taking the opposite direction. "The more you work, the less you make."

But the good thing is, traffic has seen a 20% increase, although I am still short of my daily average earnings. Let's hope they flick the switch in favor of publishers, like they did it in the month of December.

This thread is only about AdSense stat delays and fluctuations.

If you have other AdSense topics to discuss please start a new thread.

Good point, I created a new thread here: [webmasterworld.com...]

Yesterday closed very low and today is showing no signs of being any better.

[cien]

Yesterday ended up a good day. Somehow the EPC recovered late in the day. Today stats have been stuck for 4 hours already.

[Scurramunga]

Worst January ever.
Earnings down by about 60-70% on previous January averages.

From my point of view, Adsense has changed for the worst.

[HuskyPup]

I hope there are some extra clcicks hanging around somewhere. On Thursday I had my lowest CTR since mid-December with the same volume of clicks as New Year's Day! However I did get a bonus with my EPC coming back to within its usual range therefore I actually earned 46% more.

The roller coaster continues for me.

[andrewshim]

therefore I actually earned 46% more

And I think I earned 46% less. Hmpphh!

[HuskyPup]

Yep Andrew, but it still ended up at 60% of 2010 daily average therefore it still has some way to go but at least the EPC was up which is a start!

[netmeg]

Low traffic. Low clicks. Very high EPC. Overall good.

[Play_Bach]

Stuck?

[sid786]

Yes, stuck. And it is quite scary.

[whywhywhy]

very low earning today, low ctc, always the same ads...

[Play_Bach]

Still stuck.

[eniac]

almost zero ctr, zero earning today

[cien]

Low traffic. Low clicks. Very high EPC. Overall good.

Same here for Friday and today Saturday. Beat the December daily average both days. High EPC saved both days with both low traffic and ctr. Last week was a roller coaster.

Today stats were stuck for 6 hours but they are back on track now with a nice earnings dump. 6:33 pm.

[SEOPTI]

Great earnings, January rocks!

[jmccormac]

Dead today.

[HuskyPup]

Consistently poor, the first 9 days of January have been 54% of 2010 average and 22.85% less than the same period 2010.

The worst AdSense start to a year ever.

[jmccormac]

This is really some delay. No movement for hours.

If it is not down to traffic then it may be down to Google messing with the algorithm. I've noticed a pile of MFA scrapers coming up for some queries whereas before it would have been useful SERPs. If Google keeps this level of bogosity up, I may as well just start a search engine myself because people will start to desert Google as a search engine within a few months.

Averaging about 1/3 of what I used to make. Yesterday it was 1/6. :-(

[eniac]

my stats is almost the same with Play_Bach
"Averaging about 1/4 of what I used to make. Yesterday it was 1/9"

[moheybee]

Yeah, it just keeps going down for me...

[cien]

What a rollercoaster. As dead as it can be today. Extremely low epc. No stuck stats so far today.

[StarryEyed]

CTR and earnings still bad for me as well...scary bad. :(

[andrewshim]

scary bad.

bad right now... nearly scary.

[frank72]

Another slow, bad, really bad day somewhere in Europe...
