Kelsey (my daughter) and I just rolled out an early version of a site/domain that gets a healthy bit of type-in traffic from around the globe. I added my Adsense code and was able to see that relevant ads were being served from the get-go.
It's been ~4 days and, despite adding a URL channel for the domain/site a) the site doesn't appear in my list of active URL channels (yet it's in the list of authorized sites); and, b) no visits/page loads have been reported/recorded since that time . . but ads continue to appear.
AWStats shows a healthy number of unique visits. They're not all bots, I'm sure. ;) (It's a nifty domain.)
What are the "usual delays", after Adsense integration, in recording/reporting visits/clicks and/or a site - added to the list of URL channels - showing up in the "active channel" window?
When should one "be concerned"? Is some delay just a matter of course?
I sometimes wonder if sites that start off with type-in traffic, before serious/significant indexing . . which type-ins come with most all of my domains . . I wonder if natural type-in traffic sites are subject, early on, to extra/early scrutiny.
If such is the case I feel like saying "Hey, Google, some sites/domains REALLY DO get visits before they get search engine love . . "
"But I understand, dear . . . not everyone who brings you flowe . . err . . type-in visitors . . is of good intentions . . and you're a bit hesitant because you've been burned in the past . . so you go ahead and satisfy any doubts that my aim . . err . . visitors are true . . " :P) Everybody sing: "Allll-i-son . . [
