My page impression are up 15% since I started updating blog entries and articles. Good! But I've had no clicks for 36 hours (and counting). This is totally against the norm. Over the last 10 days I've been experimenting with ads on my sites. I blocked all placements but then reinstated them - has this anything to do with it do you think?
Sounds like you have a small volume of traffic to begin with. Are you checking your blog live as you make updates? If you have 3 ad units on a page that could easily boost your impressions 15% on a low traffic site. And the "Norm" is very difficult to establish. Adsense traffic and clicks vary widely. I can suggest if you are using WordPress to get Lester Chan's "BAN" plugin. This will allow you to block non performing traffic. If you are blogging for money there is not point in having traffic from countries that can not earn you money.
Well, it is a matter of time. We need to wait before deciding in adsense unless you have ton traffic.
