My Adwords Stats are Wrong

    Hi,

    I've had an Adword campaign going for 1 week now. So far I have had 511 clicks
    and 11,580 impressions all in the first 3 days. For the last 4 days my stats have been stuck on those figures. I can see my ads listed but my impressions have not increased. The wierd thing is that I've been getting a couple sales a day since the past 4 days that my adword stats have been stuck. And adwords is my only advertising channel right now.

    Can anyone help me make sence of what might be going on?

    Thanks!

    Ring your account manager, they'll know what's up with that.

    I usually check the channels individually if that happens. Maybe they are processing payments right now so its behind (I hope anyway).

    Lol, Believe it or not I did read the whole thing. I thought he was mentioning the sales to show that people were on his site.

    Oh well, I have never had that happen.

    PS. I still hope they are proccesing AdSense payments

    I did a stupid thing one, never changed the query date when generating the reports. Check your query ctiteria to make sure you are looking at the correct date range...

    Good call ServerUnion!

    It defaults back to the last date range you specified. It can really screw you up if you don't realize this.

    Easy one to miss. I do application development for a large finincial company, still took 2 tickets to google before I noticed it. Sometimes it's good to be put in your place.

    No, he means he "never changed the query date when generating the reports" so he got the same report no matter what.

    This could be what you have as well, unless you have on the main screen the query on 'today' or 'last 7 days'.

    EDIT: I see you edited, now my post is useless :)
