    No but it happened today and yesterday.

    Also one day's channel stats were not available until after about a month, I think it was Jan. 9.

    It seems the last couple of days that updates have been a couple of hours behind for me and the update for the previous day has come later. Perhaps they are updating their reporting system.

    I am also getting this same problem from them. This is getting quite frustrating, but as long as they fix it and it does not mess with our revenue than hopefully it will not matter.

    It'll be okay. They're probably just actually working on the system...the BETA absolutely HAS to have these types of things. If we never had little "glitches" then it would mean it's not a BETA and that they weren't tweaking it.

    This is true and my first experience with a "no activity recorded" issue. I think that the concern is that it will be like last week when we all lost alot of revenue from the ads being down, but as the ads are showing I would believe they have a way to record them.

    Nothing on mine so far. Still the same. I hope that they have recorded all along as I get about 25% of my clicks between 3 am and 9 am.

    Well, that's a 6 hour span, which is 1/4th of a day. ;)

    Seriously though, this is getting worrisome....seems like they have definitely hacked our revenue again.

    Will the publisher ever win? There is no good reason for Adsense/YPN to give us such a small percentage. They're taking mad advantage of us, and I REALLY think someone should step up and do something about it. If I had the resources, I would...but to make a significant impact, you'd have to start your own PPC company specifically for Web sites. And we all know how Adbrite and AdEngage are........not very good.

    According to customer service this is to happen sometime in the spring. I think they just have alot of bugs in their software yet. This is of course why it is in Beta testing and why Google went through the same phase when they first started theirs. My updates are starting out at 2:30 am so it is starting to come forward and catchup it looks like. Try and be patient it will work right.

    Mine is catching up, but the revenue is still horrid for the time it's showing.

    And still no $ showing for yesterday?

    Even if they are giving a smaller percentage than say... G, it's still many times more money in my pocket than A/S ever gave. I'm thankful they came along. And who cares if you can't check your balance immediately. It'll be there.

    The point is, there's a lot of funkyness going on the last couple of days. Delayed updates + lower than usual revenue tells me either 1) Yahoo lowered their payouts, or 2) their tracking is messed up....costing us revenue.

    Not sure which one.

    Have you checked the bids for the ads showing on your site with the tool?
    http://uv.bidtool.overture.com/d/search/tools/bidtool/?_requestid=5838852


    Maybe the bids are lower for your ads. There certainly can be other factors besides Y! messing with percentages. And since I haven't seen a dropoff in $.......

    Why not call them? They are VERY responsive to questions.

    Thanks

    Could be, but I've been targeting the same category for months. Used to get $4/click, then $1.50/click, now $.75/click.

    Same exact ads showing up on my site.
