I noticed early yesterday that my stats for Adsense were showing extremely little activity. I got nervous and thought my sites were down at first, then of course starting thinking dreadful things such as being banned from Google. I figured my account was safe since I was still able to login, and I know I haven’t broken any of their rules.

I got curious and wandered over to the Adsense forum at Webmasterworld. I found out quickly that everyone around the world was experiencing the same issue of delayed stats. Luckily we were all able to confirm to one another what we were seeing but many weren’t pleased that Google themselves weren’t acknowledging the problem and keeping us aware of the issue.

Well, they listened. By the end of the day there was a new page at Google announced, a known issues page. This page will keep everyone aware of any outstanding issues that Google is working on, and any workarounds if applicable. Excellent addition!
