I've been running google adsense banners in my side bar and in my forum descriptions (only on some forums).
I have banner ads for other companies up so the ads can't be in my main banner spots...
Anyway, It's been exactly 96 hours and I've made 111.76.
Impressions: 4,257
Clicks: 55
Clicktrough: 1.3%
I don't have a problem with that, but it seems as though one day I can have the same amount of clicks as another, but get less money. I'm thinking that the higher your click through rate the more they pay...on a per day basis?
Also, you see 4,257 impressions, but my site has waaaay more page views than that. For instance, it's Saturday at 4:19 and I've had 1000 already. And Fri/Sat/Sun I get about 30% of the traffic that I get Tues/Wed/Thurs...
It just isn't making sense to me.
And how often do they update the reports?
Anyone who's had experience with Adwords please feel free to share your knowledge. Thanks.
