Last time I had such a kind of trouble I simply fogot to select
the right time span in the statistics tool. Sounds stupid and is stupid.

Adsense channel stats are delayed by 2 days. See
https://www.google.com/adsense/faq#channel5

BTW, I don't think it's a good idea to address or cc a support
department and a public mailing list in one mail.

Hello Sterling,

Thank you for your email. I understand that you are concerned that data is
not appearing in your channel reports. Please be aware that when you're
viewing channel reports, your channel data is delayed for 2 days before
appearing in your reports. This allows the system enough time to
synchronize data across all channels, as well as perform preliminary
audits on clicks and earnings to ensure accuracy. These 2 days will show
'No data available' if included in your channel reports.

If you'd like to see today's or yesterday's performance, you can select
the 'Aggregate' radio button when generating your report. This will show
updated data for all of the pages in your account.

Please feel free to reply to this email if you have additional technical
questions or concerns. For general program or account questions, please
email adsense-support@google.com.

Sincerely,

Phoebe
The Google Team

Subject: AdSense code not crediting
Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2004 19:24:54 -0600

(sterlingda@greaterthings.com)

I was able to successfully integrate the AdSense code into my navigation
column at PESWiki.com, and the ads are appearing, however, the
click-through are not crediting to my account, according to my channel
stats. They did work for a while when I first installed them two days
ago. My stats show that I pulled in some clicks and revenue on Aug. 24.
The site traffic has been increasing, but the AdSense stats for Aug. 25
and 26 show null.

I'm stumped. I've checked and triple checked the code, re-creating it
from the Google site and trying several variations of options, inserting
the code exactly as given me from Google.

Any ideas as to why it might not be functioning correctly now?

Here is an excerpt of the code as defined in the xhtml_slimp.pt file.

<div id="p-advertisement" class="portlet">
<h5>Advertisement</h5>
<div class="pBody">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-2123041442112459";
google_alternate_ad_url =
"http://www.pureenergysystems.com/advertising/Google/AdSense/alt_ad.htm";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
google_ad_format = "120x600_as";
google_ad_channel ="7870537437";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "6600FF";
google_color_url = "008000";
google_color_text = "000000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</div>
</div>

When you go to check it, please be aware that it may be different from the
above as I will be trying different Google settings to trouble shoot.

By the way, the alternate ad URL above did not open into a full screen
when I clicked on it to test it after creating it for the first time. It
opened as if in a frame in the Wiki panel, the rest of the page staying
the same. What fixed that was to define target="_parent" in the
hyperlinks.

Thanks,

Sterling

It turns out that there is a two-day lag time on AdSense channel reporting.
The Google ads are posting correctly at peswiki.com

Attached is my xhtml_slim.pt file to see how I placed it and how I did a
work-around on the navigation links. This will work for now, but I will
need to figure out the right way to do it as the site begins to expand into
other languages. Note that the correct configuration will call for a
translation table where other languages and submit a translation for each of
the strings used.

Thanks for your assistance so far.

Sterling

It could just be that Google has no ads to serve on that page. BTW, I have
my google ads at the top. Would you mind sharing your xhtml template so I
can use that configuration (under the nav) as well?
