I have been checking out the page impression's that adsense has reported vs what a hit counter script reports. My hit counter script that logs my hits on index.php, i am getting 5,000~7,000 views through the hit counter script, but when I check the page impression's in adsense it only say's that I am geting 2xxx impression's a day. I know there could be people using adblocking software, but the same site with the same hits a day on y!pn was geting around 12,xxx impression's a day. Wouldn't the it block y!pn advertisements also? I was also wondering if 1 ad banner = 1 ad impression with adsense. Meaning they allow 3 ad banners on your site. So, one person viewing a single page would be 3 ad impression's or would it count as 1 ad impression even though it is showing 3 ad banners. I know with y!pn 1 ad banner = 1 impression, cause I tested it out. I placed 2 ad banners on a page set up it's own ad channel on a page that no one would visit and visited it. The next day it said I had the same amount of views as I viewed it times two. I have to do the same test with adsense now. Cause getting that many ad impression's with that many page hits has me worried that adsense might be cheating me of the ad impression's. Again I am confused on how they count ad impression's in the first place. Would someone try to explain it to me?
