    Wow im so confused.

    Looking at my tracker I show 566 uniques.
    Yet adsense only reports 94 impressions!

    Same crap everyday. I get tons of uniques and very low impressions. I know the ads are being displayed. :confused:

    What type of "tracker" are you using?

    Some visitors have slow connections, maybe the ads aren't loading or they close the page before the ads load. The is also software that block (Google) ads (ie: Norton internet security). Also, if the user has Javascript disabled, they won't see the ads.

    That being said, I havn't seen a big discrepancy between what the Adsense stats say and what my stats say. Are you sure you're reading your stats correctly? Know the difference between hits, impressions and unique visitors.

    hit - request to the server, for every page, image, external css/js file
    impression - one pageview, (often more than one hit)
    unique visitor - a person that visited the site (hopefully more than 1 impression :)) (not entirely reliable, as there are different ways of guestimating this)

    extreme tracker non-public. Im pulling the stats from the unique visitors, non-reloads. and 90 percent of the traffic is DSL or T1. Im looking at my CSV of all uniques today. Its a huge list. Most only do 1Pageview

    Adsense stats aren't real-time remember. But if over time, you're seeing this problem, that doesn't apply

    How is the non-public Extreme Tracker implemented? JavaScript code or something else? What's the site in question?

    yah its javascript code. Sorry this is one site I am reluctant to make public. ;) Don't want a million copycats in this niche, not that I don't trust the master of the universe ;)
