    Hi
    I am new to to this website and also new to having websites with adsense. I had just started 2 websites about 2 weeks ago and both with adsense on them(I wont post the websites urls incase I break any rules here). But everytime I log into adsense, I see very low amounts of page impressions and no clicks. For example I have 4 page impressions today, But in my cpanel of my websites it says I have had over 30 unique visitors today. Its the same with the whole week, it says In adsense I had 110 page impressions and no clicks for the week. but in my cpanel on my websites it said I had over 250 unique visits this week.

    I was just wondering if any one knew what was going on?

    thanks, appreciate any help!

    Good question. I have the same problem. I have a site that gets 300+ UV's a day but google only shows around 100 impressions.

    maybe some of the uniques that your stat program is counting are bots

    you aren't counting 'hits' and 'uniques' as the same thing, are you?

    what stat program are you using?

    maybe put google analytics on your site too and you will get another idea of how many actual uniques that each page is getting

    No, I have over 1000 hits, and over 300 unique visitors so far. I believe it is called Awstats- the program that I am using.

    Should I give analytics a try?

    yeah, I like analytics because it shows you stats in a similar way that adsense does, in other words it is a javascript that is right on the page as it loads to the person reading your page

    hope that helps you :)

    I'll give it a try, I'll upload the code to my sites and let you know how it goes.
    Also I purchased web traffic from Ebay as some of my traffic is coming from there, but I guess that sort of traffic is kind of useless, since I am not getting clicks?

    I am not an expert on it so maybe ask in another thread, but I remember reading that google does not like it if you purchase traffic to come to your site if you are using adsense, and they might ban for it.... just something you should check into in case.
