How often does Adsense update status?

[qll]

Do they update every hour? Did anyone compare the weblog file with adsense status to calculate the difference. Adsense uses PST time, so if you can match the impression on your log file with the impression shown on adsense, you can tell the delay of the report. I have not written a script to track it yet. I suspect google does not report in continuouse time but rather every 2 or 3 hour between each update. Can anyone confirm that?

Think its 3 hour +/- and channel report data is delayed 2 days.

Yeah I reckon it's about 3 hours as well.

do you mean 3 hours between every update or 3 hours delay from real time?

Sure its real time but the best bet is drop them an email - takes about two days for reply

contacting adsense too much will raise redflags. i have learned from my past mistakes. don't ask, don't tell.

AdSense status updates happen fairly irregularly. I have seen them fall behind as far as 12 hours.

Two other observations I have made:

1. The dfferent date ranges do not update simultaneously. Right now, I see a different value for today's Page Impressions if I look at "Today" than I do if I look at "This Month".

2. If you are logged in, you may NOT receive an update, even if you press Refresh/Reload and logout and login. I have one set of statistics on my desktop, which stays logged in. I just logged in to AdSense on my laptop and my stats are more current. I press Refresh on my desktop a few dozen times and it still shows the old stats. I logout and login again and it STILL shows the old stats.

No explanations, just observations.
