Impressions do not match traffic

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by stephen421, Jan 8, 2011.

    3 days ago I setup adsense on my blog, http://www.quantitative.tv. Since then my blog has received exactly 222 unique visitors but when I do an advanced report with adsense for the specific channel for this blog it is only showing 38 impressions for all 3 days.

    I know there are times when ads do not load etc where the impressions would be off. But there has to be something wrong for 222 visitors to come out to 38 impressions. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Since this is a new website, I believe those traffic are search engine bots and others...

    nope, it's not a new site. Traffic is showing as mostly from google and I can see all the keywords and phrases. Those numbers do not include bots.

    what's the bounce rate? I guess they are looking at your site but they are not staying long to see more of it or they don't look at your inner pages to have a better views for other relevant pages.

    Maybe most of them are using ad blocking software?

    Whether they stay on the site or not google should be counting their visits as impressions and Im pretty sure theres no specific time limit they must be there for it to count as an impression.

    It's a possibility but I think its unlikely that only 38 out of 222 people are not using ad blocking software..

    it should not be the case are you using frames .. if different frames treat a visitor as 4 visitor then it might be possible
