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.

[eniac]

delaying is not enough to describe today report.
it is dead or crashed maybe.

Senior Adsense Advisor, are you still there? or are you crashed too?

Senior Adsense Advisor, are you still there? or are you crashed too?

I think we scared him/her away.

If we have entered a new normal, I can deal with it. I'd just like to know if this low epc is what to expect from now on. So I can figure a plan going forward. Not a lot to ask.

[nethead]

same here...some of our sites are down 80% in ecpm. I wish Google would be courteous enough to at least explain what the heck is going on that overnight things can change this bad.

[eniac]

Dear G,
Be happy because your publishers started to leave you already. Keep your silence and watch people's moving.

I wanted to post this mail to you, G, but you have no address :)

Today's earning just blew me few miles away. What in the world is going on with Adsense? Thursdays used to be always great for me.

[eniac]

If many people suffer from low earnings. maybe it is time to post manifesto to G.
First, we can build a poll and if many people says " I suffer from low revenue"
Then
We can run a website including one very good writed post. and spread this website to the world. This site will never use for individual benefits, no ad, no other links. Just 1 page, just 1 post about our suffer. Our hope G to hear our suffer.

And then we can watch G too :). Site should not include any contact information. If G wants to say something, it can say to its publishers via adsense account, or any other offical way. ( G has no contact, so we dont too :d )

We can decide when this website will be online etc.
or we just wait and see what will happen next

Has anybody experienced any reporting delays today? Stats haven't moved for 4 hours now.

[eniac]

@cien
I think people do not write much here anymore, cuz bad revenue or delayed reports are very normal for long time :(

but yes very long delay and very very deep lowest... click value ( 1 click = 1-2 cent sometimes, 20 cents at most )

[ember]

Our reports seem up to date.

[Play_Bach]

Slow here.

[StarryEyed]

Yep - slow for me too.

[eniac]

impression is normal for all of my websites
clicks count and ecpm is very bad.
yesterday some of my sites were good ( good for january), today they are the worst
yesterday some of sites were the worst, today they are bad but not worst.

I am totally totally confused. What the hell is happening with adsense.
are they playing with us?

I saw many adwords advertisers that G paid back some cash in January several times. One of my friend earned more than me via adwords payment back :(
Whose is this money?
not fair business

[Scurramunga]

Reporting seems fine, it's just that ctr and average cpc situation is in a bad state.

[snickles121]

Today is actually normal for me. I wish I could say that for the rest of the month.

[Play_Bach]

Stuck.

[HuskyPup]

Well and truly stuck for me, I haven't earned enough to buy a beer yet!

[eniac]

@HuskyPup

can you suggest smt cheaper than beer? I do not think I can have a beer in January :(

[HuskyPup]

Lots of very cheap cider in the UK...lethal stuff!

[jmccormac]

@HuskyPup After last Friday's upgrade fiasco (line upgrade but service provider forgot to change route for IPs thus nuking everything from DNS to websites), that cider solution seems apt for a CIDR problem. :)

Regards...jmcc

[eniac]

one of my site shows almost no click for 2 days. I just saw few clicks but very high and high $

maybe delay is longer than we think. maybe it is related to new adsense interface and old interface war :)
this is another day make me confused again.
Thanks adsense, I always think of you for a month or so

[sabrebIade]

No change here.
Still dismal

[HuskyPup]

A laughably low CTR yesterday and my lowest click and eCPM day of 2011 however earnings were within my 80-120% new January daily average which is now a consistent -20% of my old low earnings' range.

I certainly hope more clicks are in the pipeline however Scrooge Google doesn't give a damn whether there are or not.

1 theory: G saves our real clicks and money and it shows us only small portion or speculate our earnings and after some time we see our real values. maybe G doesnt want to show real values.

For example, we see high and low earnings. 1 click = 5 cents, 1 click = 2 dollars. Sometime we see high ctr, sometime we see very low ctr

2 theory: G use seasonal effects in different manner. G can save our money in dec-feb and it may release after some time. So that we will see very high earnings in following months ( high because it includes our previous earnings )

These are just theories of mine :)

or they use a pair of dice to make decisions.

Wishful thinking eniac:-)

Horrible month. Horrible.

[cien]

Slow reporting, very slow. Month started slow, the picked up a bit in the middle of the month and now earnings are just horrible.

[HuskyPup]

It's hours behind for me and so far today the worst EPC of all the month...horrible is simply not a strong enough description.

[drall]

Impressions are right but clicks and earnings seem way behind today.

[cien]

Same here. Impressions are up. Never seen this massive drop in clicks and epc. 80% earnings drop. Adsense forum is getting some complaints on the last responses to older threads. [google.com...]
