Today when I came home from school I checked my Adsene account and on one of my channels I had 10 impressions for 9 clicks its a big jump for that channel shoul be worried? copuld somebody be after me? All the money came through fine thogh it was a 2 and a quarter for those clicks so should i send an e-mail to Google to ask what happenened if there is any problem cause maybe someone hates me is doing this, im really confused should i be happy or worried
I think AS might not be updating properly today, I have weird results showing. I'd wait and let it settle.
If it was someone doing excessive clicking you're likely to see them filtered out, but roman1 also correctly and wisely points out that it may "come out in the wash" so to speak as the db catches up with itself - if you didn't do it don't fret - check on it later and it's likely to be "evened" out.
Thanks, so will the money amount stay the same just the impressions go up or will they take clicks away, what do you mean bu even up?
If your earning is very low maybe someone tried to click your ads more then once. because repeated clicks are not counted. You better email google and report this matter, the best way to do.
It's only 9 clicks, maybe he just got the right 9 visitors, maybe, like I said the stats are messed up, maybe... If there are huge fluctuations on low impressions, well, it's bound to happen. Don't worry about it.
can someone tell me the e-mail cause i want to be sure I dont need the 2 bucks if they want they can take it back
I have a very targeted informational site that regularly gets over 100% ctr - but being so specific, the site isn't high traffic. As long as you didn't have anything to do with the clicks, you have nothing to worry about. If you clicked an ad by accident, I would email them immediately. With that many clicks, you can't say it was an accident anyway. Adsense seems to have some odd reporting today. I have a channel that has 8 clicks with nothing shown for payment, and that has never happened before.
I'd say you wait for a few days. If the CTR is still that high with more impressions.... then worry. For now,... don't worry... yet.
With that few number of hits its possible that you got that many clicks legitimately. I have a few sites that will get 4 clicks and 2 hits, 4 hits 4 clicks, 0 clicks 5 hits in a day.. If your site is very specific and the ads are targeted and helpful looking then you will get a high ctr probably.
If you have AdSense for search that could skew things to. I have had well over 100% CTR on search channels.
emil2k, it shouldn't be a problem with 10 impressions and 9 clicks. It has happened to me too but at the end of the day, it all balances out. Just wait about 24-48 hours and all should be normal. If you haven't clicked your own ads accidently, you need not worry at all.
