Viewing stats by "General Category"

there seem to be missing categories when you go into sub-cats

I have last-30 days stats for Computers & Consumer Electronics/Computers of 6.9% impressions/3.4% earnings so I know there's some flab in there.

Computers category says there are 5 sub cats but when I click it, I see:

Computer Accessories
Computer Hardware (3)

that's four! And the stats nowhere near add up to what the parent category tells me.

Am I missing something?

Not every ad is sorted into a subcategory. For example, ads could be categorized as any of the following five:

- Computers
- Computers / Computer Accessories
- Computers / Computer Hardware
- Computers / Computer Hardware / Laptop Computers
- Computers / Computer Hardware / Computer Networking Devices

If Computers accounts for 10% of your impressions but the subcategories only sum to 5%, you can assume the balance is categorized in the general Computers category.

but I don't have the option to block that...if I click on the radio button on the right...all 5 cats/subcats get blocked.

and the stats shown for all 5 are 6.9% imps/ 3.4% earnings but there's no way for me to find where the wastage is. If I click through and see the 4 subcats, all the stats are fine, meaning it's the parent cat that's the problem, but those stats are not filtered out for viewing.

it's awful GUI, very user unfriendly.
