Admob Not Updating Stats

[Mathfactory]

@sraxus

I don’t know that it is the same person, but I have a couple of reasons to suspect it. My app is a relatively small affair, a hobby project that gets about 1500 app loads a day and about 20 to 25 clicks a day on average. Most of the clicks come from Europe. I used to get about 5 clicks a day from the US before the suspicious clicks began, now I’m getting 80+ clicks per day from the US. At first I thought there was a really popular ad campaign in the US, but then I noticed that the clicks are coming in in bursts and only on some days. And it’s always around the same time of day. That last bit is probably the most suspicious part.

I’m not snooping on my users so I have no way of confirming if it really is the same person. I guess I could do it pretty easily with the bug tracker that I’m using (Crittercism). For example, I could throw a caught exception every time someone clicks more than three times and see if it’s the same user each time. But I don’t really want to spy on my users.

And no, my app is not trending in the US. I get about 20 downloads a day from the US and that hasn’t gone up or down recently.

Anyway sorry again for the off topic.

Exactly the same here. Yesterday the admob stats stopped updating. And I have recently released an app (still small user base) which obviously receives multiple clicks from a user/account in the US, ~20 clicks a day.

I’m hoping that this is just coincidence and admob will be working soon again. 'Cause I don’t think that I am responsible to prevent crazy users or bots to click repeatedly on my banners, am I? Should be admobs responsibility in my opinion.

If someone tells that admob status isn’t working nobody panics…
But when someone say that one little airpush has reporting issues, well then everyone loses their minds!

That’s because you can trust google way more than airpush. Almost everytime when admob freezed, the stats of the days before were corrected. No one is sure about admob this time

[sraxus]

I hope so, but I’m still going to come up with a way to prevent it. Just have to be careful to do it in a way that doesn’t violate Admob’s terms of use.

I have one app with AppBucks and stats seems to be frozen too since yesterday! What the hell is going on with those ad networks??

How do you know about same click from one user? I don’t see any report from Admob.

I don’t know for sure that it’s a single user, I’m just applying similar reasoning as sraxus (a few posts earlier). Compared to other apps I’m offering the concerned app has a suspiciously high CTR with many clicks from the same geolocation (US).

EDIT: Ay, the stats are working again!

[amalvj123]

Its Back Now !..

Even yesterday’s stats is updated…

[sraxus]

Yep, it’s working for me too!

Looks like I got click spammed again yesterday. :mad: I hope the spammer will update when I publish the update with my anti-click spam code.

[A1ka1inE]

Yep all good here.

[KaloyanBeshev]

Everything is perfect !

[hackformore]

Everything good now!

Stats are back but I had a drop of ~60% in impressions…:mad:

[Beppi]

Me too, I had a big drop in impressions. But I cannot be sure that it is Google’s fault, let’s see today.

[Bond]

Well I just notice my latest update from 2 days ago had a bug preventing the app to open, damn!
Let’s see it that’s the problem for the missing impressions…
Now I’m mad at myself for not noticing this earlier.

[Daler]

The stats are back, but I lost my revenue for the last 3 days. I see 60-70% off from my revenue which was finalized for 3 last days… Damnn. The impressions are fine so far. And also for some reason the eCPM has changed for that last 3 days… shit

Hello, guys.

I have an iOS app in the Store with AdMob integrated into it. Somebody else developed it for me.
By now the app is 2 months available for download and given that I didn’t market it, it has 100 downloads. I see that in app statistic services like App Annie and App figures.

I plan to have some more after I do ASO right.

Here is the catchy part. I earned like less the one pound. What can I do about it?
