The day got off to a good start but then stats stopped updating about 3 hours ago for me.

I guess as already pointed out, this is the new norm and we should no longer expect any kind of realtime reports. Shame really.

I kinda hoped yesterdays maintenance was to fix something they'd broke last week but I guess not.

It's not that they're delayed, just stuck.

Since the update yesterday things have been coming through in rather small fits and starts every few hours or so, but nothing like what I should be seeing. I'm hoping there are some clicks caught up somewhere that we will see soon.

Me too.

I like these threads, it's nice to know you’re not the only one.

It runs great today.

I had no time to prepare my usual newsletter on Sunday.

But I am even up compared to last Sunday same time.

It's strong raining here
It's Sunday

Ideal conditions for high AdSense income.

As I said in an earlier thread... it will vary for all publishers, there is really no way to know if you are getting the correct figure.

Suppose you have been smart priced by a broken system or you get an bigger cut as a premium publisher, or an employee hijacks or redirects some of of your code earning to their adsense account.

I just don't think we should be so trustworthy..... but again 'we are just winking in the dark to a blind lady'

I'm having my worst Adsense weekend EVER. Up until Friday, March was going very well and I was anticipating having my best month for about eight months. Now, I just don't know what has happened. The page impressions are there but the clicks aren't.

Blimey, what's going on?

The past few days have seen my AdLinks EPC collapse to less than 50% of average yet today it is 200% of average meanwhile my leaderboard EPC seems to keep chugging along at a very consistent rate.

Monday morning (here) and this has been the worst weekend I have ever experienced with Adsense. Something is very amiss. I have just turned off 'interest based advertising' to see if that makes a difference.

Apparently this shouldn't effect us either way, until April.

My weekend has been amazing. Though I've been playing about with different tests.

The thing is with adsense, small changes can have dramatic changes. It takes for one small thing to trigger smart pricing and some of those things you can control.

argh... worst Sunday for over a year, Friday and Saturday were normal, that is lower than the weekdays.

The thing that got me this week was the yo-yo effect, Mon Tue Thursday I was seeing near record highs like the old normal days.

How happy I was to see those truly healthy figures... But then Wed Fri Sat & Sun kicked my arse with record lows.

I wish now those highs weren’t there and maybe just have the average steady week.

Yesterday was my best day in months! Total earnings were 200% of what they usually are. Somehow people were incredibly click-happy, since traffic wasn't unusual.

Ah thanks, I didn't realise. But anyway, Monday CTR was back to normal. This weekend just gone, I went for the longest period without a click that I have ever experienced despite page impressions being about the same. It was as if something was seriously wrong. I was hoping for stuck stats and a click dump later but it never came. I am just forcing myself to accept that some days are very good, some are very bad, and that this programme is completely unpredictable. Apart from that, it's great!

Heh, last week my AdSense had tanked to the point where I was ready to take it out, but instead I put in a PHP script to rotate my AdSense with some other ad networks and affiliate ads. None of that new stuff is performing very well at all, but my AdSense is like 8 to 10 times higher with about 1/8 of the ad impressions. Coincidence? I dunno. But I'll take it.
