I just emailed my inquiry. I'd like an official answer. It's funny that so many people here are having the same issue, which means there are WAY more, and Google cant even put up a post on their blog about it to alleviate some of the emails they must be getting, and to keep their publishers informed. Awful. I hate having to speculate.
Everyone having the problem should email them, and lets compare notes. This should also bring ALOT more traffic to DP!
I found this that might explain not showing all clicks under channels view. And the mentioned image/frame pages in the support appeared in fact in my allow/blocked sites weekly list. I wonder whether the image.domains should be added into the allow sites list??? Adsense help page: https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=32867&topic=152
This can't be true overnight. Frames has nothing to do with way-off data. Currently my channels are showing 90% less numbers than total revenue which is way off. Wondering whats up with reporting today? anyone else noticed that adsense notifier for FF is down.
is it required to email adsense just to let them know that you are aware of the situation or just let them handle it?
Yes, I noticed the same and sent a report to Google Adsense and the end result was my Adsense account was just banned today for no good reason I sent in my appeal and all I got back was a auto-responder email... What a bunch of BS. I was due to be paid my biggest earnings check this month ($180+ minus the obvious "out of channel" invalid clicks I reported). I worked hard to build up my content, SERPS, and valued my Adsense account over the last two years, and never had any problems. I noticed a number of smaller publishers (like myself) getting banned recently since Google filed their Q3 earnings report. Now the stock is at $675 per share. They obviously need to pad their income by slashing honest publishers who are earning pennies per day for hundreds of thousands of impressions. If you question my motives, look at the sites in my signature, read my posts here on DP. I'm not a cheat or liar and I resent being labeled one by an "auto-responder". I have content built up from years of work, I delivered millions of impressions to Adsense, I had a .05% CTR and was happy with that. If you look at my post history here, I routinely criticized people stating they had a 3%+ CTR, why would I click on my own ads ? It's a game and in one sense (pun intended), I'm glad to be free of Google, but in another I'm pissed that they think they're going to keep my earnings from impressions on my websites that I maintain. I don't "host", I run my own dedicated servers, every day I have to deal with some new problem to keep my servers up in addition to paying PEER1 almost a grand per month for my servers. Hell, I don't have freaking time to play the "invalid clicks" game because I use so many different affiliate programs, Google obviously thinks they're the bread and butter. However, getting banned by Adsense, after I started this thread and after making this post and this blog post regarding the BS on the Adsense Support Forums and fraudulent click-bombing that comes from there, it just irks me that the "bad guys" are still active in Adsense system and my a$$ got banned. "Do no Evil" - the Google Mantra - well, piss on that...
