Has GG adjusted your earnings?

Discussion in 'Reporting & Stats' started by Tapanti, Feb 21, 2005.

    Maybe I'm hallucinating, but I could almost swear my earnings from the past days increased after noon today.

    I've been reading that earnings were extremely down lately.

    Have any of the people who reported this noticed an adjustment in their accounts?

    edit> Just to make it clear: what changed was the amount already reported for the past days.

    No adjustment today but I have noticed the previous day increase before randomly in the middle of the day it seemed. Maybe an approval process for some words?

    Yes, it seems to be related.

    I've read a couple of reports on other boards about this, but apparently the adjustments to the figures were not very big.

    Anyways, the interesting thing would be finding out why the figures were increased retroactively. Not that I'm complaining though. ;)

    The more I read threads like this the more I am starting to believe that SERPS does factor into AS EPC

    I believe AS EPC is affected by SERPs, and I also believe that AS EPC is affected by whether your traffic is coming from organic positions or if it's coming from AW ads.

    But this wouldn't explain the retroactive adjustments of the amounts earned over a period of days.

    "...I also believe that AS EPC is affected by whether your traffic is coming from organic positions or if it's coming from AW ads."

    Very interesting point. Do you have any evidence to prove that?

    Just personal experience, but unfortunately I couldn't provide any prove without risking a violation of AS TOS.

    This notice is showing now on several AdWords accounts.

    I suppose the same problem might have affected AdSense accounts, thus reporting fewer earnings for a few days, as many advertisers complained.

    But numbers have apparently gone back to normal volumes.

    People who were experiencing low EPC recovered their profit levels?

    I have noticed an increase in EPC. But i can't say for sure what is causing it. I have gone to one ad block on most pages, and that has not changed the CTR, but the EPC has gone up.

    shrug - no way to know which it is. But less ads look better

    Eliminating Ad Blocks also eliminate chances of people clicking on lower paying ads... assuming that higher paying ads have priority over lower paying ads.

    This would not increase CTR, but EPC.

    I'm not worried; I'm in fact doing great in all GG aspects.

    I'm just kind of a groupie... following Google movements and getting exited even when it yawns. :p
