    something is certainly wrong...200 people should mean a minimum of 200 impressions

    Agreed that sounds wrong unless it is all bot traffic (which seems very unlikely)

    Google often tracks based on what they consider quality impressions. Just because you show 200 unique visitors doesn't mean google considers them worthwhile traffic. Google uses a number of factors to determine what traffic they consider valuable traffic.

    my first thought was maybe that you had your ads under the fold and the visitors didn't scroll down, but after looking at your site that clearly isn't it...

    Nice blog and good information. Do you use Google Analytics? If, so check your analytics impressons against the adsense impressions.

    Well much of my traffic is natural

    I test basically paid to sites and give people an honest review of what I think

    I had 1 impressions yesterday. And just think, all of you visited it.

    That says something is messed up or

    Google doesn't like Digitalpoint traffic

    well i don't think you should have done that, i don't want to get banned

    however , it did not register

    i have a feeling Google is not considered forum traffic "quality" traffic

    You are totally wrong. Google counts all the impressions including your own.

    View your source code and check if your publisher id matches the one in your account. Your ads could've been hacked. If not, remove the ad codes and do it over, you might have modified or deleted the part of the codes unintentionally.

    Try assigning channels to your ads and see if it appears under the summary. You can also filter channels accordingly to view certain results.

    the code looked exactly the same though

    i really hope someone can figure this out

    even without natural traffic

    i have views from today from you guys helping me

    does not show at all in my report

    i had one impression from some ads i have on a defunct forum there

    but nothing from the blog


    surely all my traffic is not bad quality.

    My quality traffic explanation is not incorrect however their is one other possibility. Google might have blacklisted your account. I forget the exact term used however it basically occurs when google believes that your traffic isn't real or a majority of it might be fake or spam.

    They often will lower the value of the clicks you receive and also register fewer impressions. Don't listen to these adsense newbs, I have been using adsense for years and have experienced this first hand. I do have one suggestion for you.

    possible fix:

    I suggest you try changing your theme, I have experienced strange things with Adsense in the past, all because of my theme. Sometimes their are certain keywords and other variables hidden within the theme code. If you downloaded the theme from one of those free theme sites then this could be your problem.

    My account is not blacklisted as I run two other sites and gather about a hundy a day

    It was thinking it might be the theme also but i was unsure if this could even be a possiblity.

    i have looked at the code and it seems legit but you know

    sometimes you have to roll your own

    Try changing the theme as already suggested by nicerolex, it will take minutes to do this and you can test by leaving it running for 24 hours.
