How do peoples espotting stats look today - our search volume seems a bit low. Checked the websites and visitor numbers seem normal.

Cheers

Reporting seems to be stuck at just after midday

It gets stuck occasionally - It's usually Sundays!

[lukey]

I was told on Friday afternoon that there was now going to be a delay on reporting of clicks as well as the searches from now on, although for some reason it looks as if all that happened is that there was a delay in clicks on Friday afternoon.

Since then the expected increase (if there was a delay) in earnings does not seem to materialise by the time everything should be in the next morning.

To be honest, I have seen no drop in traffic to my sites, but there seems to have been a marked drop in earnings since then (by about 15%).

Is this just me?

No your not Lukey : We noticed what seems to be exactly the same.

...I was just about to apologise for getting paranoid etc etc.

God I love these forums sometimes. Although the local pub landlord probably doesn't - it was about to become one of those long drinking evenings propping up the bar and his till as a result of inexplicable failure compared to others!

[Matthew Wood]

Yes, guess there must be more of a delay than usual.. lets hope it all evens out.

[lukey]

...seems to be back on track today. Panic over!

[lukey]

...there seems to be yet another delay - anoybody else??

[Matthew Wood]

Looks like it lukey..

search volume looks like its updating for me but revenue seems to be stuck on when the last reported click was made at 16:50 hours..

[nick]

yes, the last reported clicks were at 17:00. Nothing between 17:00 and 20:59 according to the new reports.

[Qui Gon Jinn]

Yep, Clicks & Affiliate Revenue at a guestimation 40% short of what it should be.

I have been wondering for a while if there are problems with espotting.

It dosent matter how many more searches I achieve the total revenue stays roughly the same and is way down on what I was doing 6 months ago.

[Robber]

Stats definitely off still, thursdays revenue is well down yet site traffic is growing.

I had wondered whether it might be something to do with bid prices going down following Yahoo moving to overture rather than a stats error.

Will need to monitor this one.

[lukey]

I really can't imagine the bid price would drop that quickly. To give you an example my revenue was at half a usual day at 5pm last night, then by this morning yesterday had only totalled up an extra tenth of a day's earnings (it would usually put on an extra 45%).

To be fair though I have spoken with one of the techies, and have highlighted that this is not the first instance of it happening - and they are on the case very heavily indeed (and no I'm not just saying that because I've been bribed!)
