Is Google AdSense cheating?

    For a test, I'm using Yahoo ads (media.net) since last week.

    I am wondering to see a big mismatch in reports.

    I have 3 ad units of adsense, and 2 units of yahoo ads per page.

    Here's the reports of 2 these ad networks:

    March 23, 2014
    Media.net = 869
    AdSense = 158

    March 23, 2014
    Media.net = 637
    AdSense = 119

    March 22, 2014
    Media.net = 861
    AdSense = 166

    Is it cheating? or my misunderstanding?

    Could be that AdSense is showing only unique visits and the other program is showing all visits?

    Forget about AdSense and media.net, what does Google Analytics say?

    Could be that Adsense isn't showing to all of these visitors, could be that you have too many ad's to load, too many ad's they're all not loading before your visitors leave? Could be numerous possibilities.

    You might want to check your Google Analytics for the best and accurate results.
