Ghost Clicks & Other Discrepancies Noticed On AdSense Statistics
October 25th, 2007 | 1,035 Views RSS Feed
As seen on Webmaster World, AdSense publishers are reporting 'discrepancies' in AdSense & Website Statistics.
However, within a few hours of 'discrepancies,' statistics refreshed, but now URL channels show 30% higher earnings and number of clicks than sum of individual channels. This is perhaps because, many ghost clicks surfaced in stats for last the several days. Other problems are:
- There were reported impressions and clicks inside each channel is way behind, they don't add up with the grand total.
- I'm seeing less than 50% of my traffic hitting the adsense numbers
- ll channels for one site are showing about one tenth of what should normally be there. I thought there had been an outage on the site — but no such thing.
- Problem appears to be specific to NON-URL channels showing only about 10% of normal impressions and clicks. Aggregate stats looks fine. URL channels look fine.
Discussion continues at Webmaster World.
