I’m sure some AdSense publishers felt a bit sick today seeing their earnings. For some reason, the stats shown in the AdSense console stopped updating early this morning (Pacific time) and were static for most of the day. They’ve started updating, finally, but they’re still way behind where they should be. (Or else I’ve having a really bad day!)
According to an official post in the AdSense help group, Google’s working on it:
I’ve just received an update from our engineers: they’re still working
on resolving the issue, but they have confirmed that no statistics or
data have been lost from your accounts. I’ll let you know when I have
more info about when you might expect to see updated stats. Again, we
appreciate your patience.
Lots of buzz about this today, of course:
And on and on it goes.
There is some speculation that the integration of Google Custom Search with AdSense for Search is at the root of the problem.
