Has anyone noticed a day when Google is reporting no impressions, clicks, clickthroughs, etc.?

AdSense is currently showing I haven't generated any impressions today so far. Every day since I have started AdSense, I've had a large number of impressions by this time of day.

I am having the same thing happen. I was afraid it was something I did, and maybe it was. This is about the time that Google updates their servers. I have been pretty careful about following Google's rules, but on reviewing my sites I found a page where I accidently cut and paste the ad twice. Embarassed

I fixed that as soon as I found it.

Anyway, it would be comforting to know that all those gooseeggs are only a slow down in stat updates (as frequently happens at amazon) rather than Google cutting my account.

I am getting "no impressions" as well on my online report.

It's amazing how concerned I get about this.

I am just getting zeros too. Hopefully, it is just an update problem.

I just checked my account and the stats seem to have started again. Though way behind where they would normally be today.

I just checked my stats and they are appearing again, but seem low for this time of day. I'm on the east coast of the U.S., 2:05 PM e.s.t.

I know we can't share statistics, but I am running Adsense on a high traffic website (Alexa ranking within the top 100,000).

By noon I was showing NO IMPRESSIONS, which is absolutely impossible. I was getting a lot of traffic to the site like normal, and other affiliate links on my site were receiving their normal click thrus.

I emailed Google twice about this problem, first around 10 am in the morning, and then around 12pm in the afternoon when I saw there were still no impressions served, nor clicks, nor earnings.

Then, finally, sometime in the afternoon, perhaps around 2pm or later, impressions started to register.

I have received no explanation back from Google, which I think is the least I should expect since it's obvious my earnings are going to be severely under what they should be for a typical Monday.

The fact that the Google Ads were still being displayed all day, however, implies that the advertisers were still gaining their benefits. Perhaps today all of their ROI will shoot thru the roof as they see sales with zero costs.

I think I'm a charitable guy, but this is really disheartening, and if Google are the professionals I expect them to be, I will be await at least an explanation and an apology.

I'm on the east coast of the U.S. and it's 8:07 PM.

My impressions are back to about normal for this time of day but this is my worst day yet for clickthrough rate. Hopefully that statistic is still behind and will catch up soon.

Just wanted to say that Google responded to me. They said they were looking into it.

A few hours later, my earnings and click thurs took a sudden large jump.

Which I take to mean they found the problem and were able to attribute the proper clicks my site had generated today.

In short, I am on track for a typical Monday in terms of impressions, clicks, and earnings.

Hope everyone else has noticed the same thing as well for their sites.

Whatever happened today - I wouldn't mind if it would happen every day - Very Happy

This turned out to be my best day yet with AdSense.
