I was able to successfully integrate the AdSense code into my navigation column at PESWiki.com, and the ads are appearing, however, the click-through are not crediting to my account, according to my channel stats. They did work for a while when I first installed them two days ago. My stats show that I pulled in some clicks and revenue on Aug. 24. The site traffic has been increasing, but the AdSense stats for Aug. 25 and 26 show null.
I'm stumped. I've checked and triple checked the code, re-creating it from the Google site and trying several variations of options, inserting the code exactly as given me from Google.
Any ideas as to why it might not be functioning correctly now?
Here is an excerpt of the code as defined in the xhtml_slimp.pt file.
<div id="p-advertisement" class="portlet"> <h5>Advertisement</h5> <div class="pBody"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2123041442112459"; google_alternate_ad_url = "http://www.pureenergysystems.com/advertising/Google/AdSense/alt_ad.htm"; google_ad_width = 120; google_ad_height = 600; google_ad_format = "120x600_as"; google_ad_channel ="7870537437"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "6600FF"; google_color_url = "008000"; google_color_text = "000000"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> </div>
When you go to check it, please be aware that it may be different from the above as I will be trying different Google settings to trouble shoot.
By the way, the alternate ad URL above did not open into a full screen when I clicked on it to test it after creating it for the first time. It opened as if in a frame in the Wiki panel, the rest of the page staying the same. What fixed that was to define target="_parent" in the hyperlinks.
Thanks,
Sterling

Last time I had such a kind of trouble I simply fogot to select the right time span in the statistics tool. Sounds stupid and is stupid.

Adsense channel stats are delayed by 2 days. See https://www.google.com/adsense/faq#channel5
BTW, I don't think it's a good idea to address or cc a support department and a public mailing list in one mail.
Hello Sterling,
Thank you for your email. I understand that you are concerned that data is not appearing in your channel reports. Please be aware that when you're viewing channel reports, your channel data is delayed for 2 days before appearing in your reports. This allows the system enough time to synchronize data across all channels, as well as perform preliminary audits on clicks and earnings to ensure accuracy. These 2 days will show 'No data available' if included in your channel reports.
If you'd like to see today's or yesterday's performance, you can select the 'Aggregate' radio button when generating your report. This will show updated data for all of the pages in your account.
Please feel free to reply to this email if you have additional technical questions or concerns. For general program or account questions, please email adsense-support@google.com.
Sincerely,
Phoebe The Google Team

It could just be that Google has no ads to serve on that page. BTW, I have my google ads at the top. Would you mind sharing your xhtml template so I can use that configuration (under the nav) as well?

It turns out that there is a two-day lag time on AdSense channel reporting. The Google ads are posting correctly at peswiki.com
Attached is my xhtml_slim.pt file to see how I placed it and how I did a work-around on the navigation links. This will work for now, but I will need to figure out the right way to do it as the site begins to expand into other languages. Note that the correct configuration will call for a translation table where other languages and submit a translation for each of the strings used.
Thanks for your assistance so far.
Sterling
