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.
