When I look at my previous day reports each morning, two of my smaller sites show $X in revenue. Let's say the report day is January 1 and I'm looking on January 2. The next day, January 3, the stats for Jan. 1 have doubled. This is happening to these two sites every day, but not to my largest site. WTF?
I see after the fact adjustments in my favor on Adwords (charges are reduced due to click quality). I don't see changes to Adsense it almost seems to be real time.
I went back and looked at payments vs. reports and figured it out. I have channels for each domain, plus channels for ad types. So I might be seeing: domain1.com - $.25 300x250 - $.10 468 x 60 - $.15 They add up to $.50, but I've only made $.25. The strange thing is, this doesn't happen for my main site, just new ones. Bizarre and confusing. As far as it reporting this on the second day, I can't verify that now. Maybe I was just reading it wrong.
I have noticed a factor of 3. On a bad day I could make x. On a good day, it could be 3x. The x figure is in dollars, so I'm not talking about cents (like 5 cents to 15 cents).
