I just don't understand this. Adsense mistery.

    Hi all,

    Today my site had 56 visitors but according to google it only had 2 adsense page impressions!

    Why is this?

    I thought a page impression was just when an adsense advert was displayed on your page. I have around 4 ads per page so surely with 56 hits it should be around 200 impressions.

    Can anyone explain?

    Are you sure you had visitors rather than hits? Ads won't display for search bots and the like.

    Also, there's a bit of a delay (though usually only a couple hours or less) between real time and Adsense reports.

    There could be a number of reasons why. One would fall in the category of search engine bots visiting the sites. Those may register as visitors for your site but not necessarily for adsense's opinion. :) What software are you using to track your site's stats?

    First of all, don't get yourself confused. Page impression represent number of views for that page or other way round, the number of times the page has been accessed.
    Since you did not mention which tracking software you use, I can tell you that most of them differ from the stat show by adsense.
    Other reason could be because there's a delay as mentioned by other members here.

    may be ther was a repeat visitor, or may be adsense did'nt show ad because of some upgrade or some of crawling issues.
