    also, it was a 13 cent click, but ecpm=0. with 13 cents for 0 impressions you'd think ecpm would be like $1,000,000

    Sometimes it takes time for the correct stats to show up in your account

    Theres always all sorts of funky stuff going on in the beginning of the day.
    For isntance I would have total earnings 0.00, but when i drop down the channels theres plenty of earnings ..... Don't worry at the end of the day you will still get your 20% share of the click cost : )

    adsense has been acting weird for a while for me. i check it about 80 times a day, and i've been noticing this weird stat tracking during the past few days. other things have been happening too, like the total of my channels earnings has been greater then the reported total earnings at the top of the page.

    It happens with adsense, the stats are not real-time. It takes sometime to update.

    It also happens on DP, sometimes you see a thread with 0 views and 5 replies.

    Hehe, just wait till they start doing stuff with doubleclick, adsense will be going bananas....


    Well thats because in vbulletin you set the thread view count to not be updated live to save some resources, crucial for a big forum like this :rolleyes:

    that's because you are a patient, kind, and caring man. i on the other hand dislike children and anything that giggles.

    now it says i have 2 impressions, obviously whoever clicked on my ad was kind enough to then come to the website and view two pages.

    Easy logic.

    A visitor visits your site at 11:59 PM. He reads for 2 minutes, and clicks at 00:01 AM and exits your site.

    every morning I have 0 impressions on 1 site with 1 click. The 1 click is always worth 1 cent too.
