PLEASE HELP - Things Don't Seem Right

    I signed up several days ago, and set everything up correctly - I think, but things don't seem right.

    I put the ad code on all the pages of my site ArtfulWebSites.com. The ads from other members are appearing on all the pages. I got validated right after I signed up on 3/3. I loaded 8 ads and enabled them. They are all approved. But, NOTHING is changing...

    I still only have my original weight of 21. It still says: "Ads appear to be live on your site (as of 2007-03-03).". All my stats graphs are blank.

    Is something not right with my account? I have no way of telling if any of this is working.

    Please HELP!!!! :confused:

    Also, I have a question. If traffic is directed to one of my sites by one of my ads displayed on another member's site, how will that traffic show up in Google Analytics? In other words, who will the referrer be??

    What is -

    Your PR?
    Your average uniques a day?
    You number of pages indexed by Google?

    All of these are used to calculate yoru weight. If you have a PR0 but tons of traffic, it will take a while for your weight to reflect that.

    You can also try revalidating at any time in case Google showed you with no indexed pages through the API the first time you validated.

    A site command shows only 19 pages for your site, so your weight seems correct.

    After your ads are approved it takes several days for the graphs to start showing stats. Give it some time, it is normal

    yfs1,

    Thanks for the quick response. :D

    My PR is 4
    8 average uniques per day
    19 pages indexed in Google

    How do I re-validate? Do I really need to? I thought it automatically re-validated my site each day or so. That's why I am surprised to see it still say "2007-03-03".

    fryman,

    Thanks for the clarification on the timing . I guess I will just have to be a little patient. :rolleyes:

    It revalidates every 4th or 5th day...There is a link right next to the date if you want to do it manually.

    Fryman is right though, the number of pages indexed is why you have the low weight. (It will increase slowly if you have signifigant traffic)

    You'll need more pages on your site and your weight will grow up. But with 21 weight you won't get many impressions. I have weight 640 and have 50 impressions per day.
