How often does the earnings report refresh? It seems like I can visit it, then a half-hour later check and they haven't updated anything. It would be great if there was some way to switch it to be 'live', or at least update sooner.
Is there any way to filter ads by words? I see the new URL filtering-- that is great, I get some "junk" ads, like Ebay ads that are annoying. I just do not need a 'Sexy Personals' ad displayed on a page where kids play games....
Also, the channels seem screwy. I have a channel named "bottom" for the ad at the bottom, and one named "Top" for the top ad, for example... then there's also example.com/articles and example.com/games URL channels -- both of which have 'top" and "bottom" ads-- and it seems to add them all together in my reports page, messing up the true stats. For example, if bottom has 10 clicks and top has 10 clicks, it will total it as having 40. How do I fix this?

It updates when it updates I think. Not exactly predictable, and nothing you can really do about it. My advice is to do other things that take your focus off watching the ticker. :) It will eventually update.

No way to do this. You will have to just filter out those specific ads you do not want on your site by url.

You sure you are not also counting URL channels? URL channels and custom channels are seperate. If you display them both in the aggregate report, you will basically have twice as many clicks because they will be counted in two different metrics.
Exlcude the URL channels from the report and you should have the right total.
