The traffic is there but the clicks and impressions are not showing up. Is anyone else seeing this. I am a bit concerned as I had a minor accident with adwords earlier in the week where the clicks weren't logged and I couldn't follow the campaign. Hence I am a couple of hundred bucks down but recovering.

Sometimes my account stops tracking clicks and impressions for several hours, then comes back to life later. Don't know whether the ads were actually running in the interim or not.

Just wanted to jump in, ska_demon, and mention that under ordinary circumstances, one's stats can be delayed up to three hours. You'll see a message on the Campaign Summary page, just below the stats that says:

Reporting is not real-time. Clicks and impressions received in the last 3 hours may not be included here.

Very occasionally, there may be an additional delay - which will usually be rather short. While I don't recall one of these recently, it sounds as if you've seen one. My apology if this caused an issue for you.

I'd like to reassure you, La_Valette, that when these delays occur your ads will in fact be running normally. It's just the delivery of the stats that is delayed.
