    As stated in message title, I checked my Adsense report for today. Zero impressions, 2 clicks, earnings of less than $1. Anyone have a clue how this is possible, or am I the only one who thinks its bizaare?

    Stats are always updating and therefore can be wrong at any time. If you factor in disallowed clicks, it can be up to a week until they are 100% correct.

    You are only noticing it because you have so few impressions...This kinda thing is always present and isn't as noticeable when you have more impressions.

    Give it some time ;)

    yfs1,
    thanks for your thoughts.

    btw, you're saying it takes up to a week for stats to be correct??? i wasnt aware of that, or i cant fathom how such a high-tech company like Google would allow such a lag in reporting.

    thanks again

    You may have clicks they decide to nullify due to fraud...Its not slow servers or some other reasons.

    It could also be pay for display instead of pay per click. I get that sometimes with Digital Point ads. No clicks but it passes 1 or 2 cents from DP. yfs1 is right. give it some time and the bugs should shake out. usually by the next day for me if there was no fraud.

    Could the page have been loaded right before midnight and then the ads clicked after midnight?

    Looks like payments are in progress at the moment which seems to slow down adsense reporting. My site is showing 500 page views for today yet adsense shows 3 page impressions.

    Give it some time and it will be sorted out.

    yeah, I thought of that too. but anyway an hour later I saw in the Adsense report that there was 1 impression and 3 clicks. so I guess that one person clicked on 3 ads (someone correct me pls. if i'm wrong)...today I have the opposite problem - 7 clicks on my food blog (link in my signature) but zero earnings...oh well.
