Hi, I have a site for quite some time (around 8 months), which generates 300 uniques on average lately, and goes up. I have adsense on the site, and major part of the site is the forum. 3 months ago I noticed that number of pageviews dropped by 25%, and since then, it has been stabilized on that number. My question is how this can happen, when in this whole period I had more unique visitors, and more traffic then before, when the pageviews (information based on Google reports) was lower? The forum is based on phpBB, and I did change things, but nothing radical, just a little tweaks and updates here and there. What may cause this occurrence? If anyone has any suggestion on how to fix the problem, I would be very happy to hear it. Thanks, D.
Based on my stats, everything grew. Pageviews, uniques, hits, posts, everything. But google says different thing. D.
It may be that you're getting visits from email harvesters / screen scrapers that are showing up in your log file stats as page views but since most of them are not capable of running javascript the adsense ads are not displayed. It could also be your members are blocking javascript or are using an ad blocker. Hope that helps. -jay
