Ok, check out this data:

Awstats (uniques)
Clicksor (impressions)

August 4th 87 266 <- Opening Day
August 5th 107 420
August 6th 154 172

On August 6th, the day when i get the MOST uniques, (and it nearly doubles my bandwidth useage) I get the least amount of ad impressions. Whats up with that? The site has only been opened for 3 days, so thats my overall stats.

Hard to say, did you change placements at all?

I did blend in the articles on the 6th (placed a small picture next to them), and I recieved as many clicks as I did on the 4th and 5th combined. The ad code is in a php include, i don't know if that effects it or not. But overall the ad has stayed in the same spot, it maybe moved to the right by 80 px or so because of the picture that i added.

Even though you got more uniques on August 6th, it's likely that you got less pageviews.

But how is that? My bandwidth useage doubled that day, yet I get the smallest number of impressions that day.

Where the visitors non-US? Many ad networks will not show impressions to visitors from outside the US.

Also if the uniques where repeat visitors to your site the ad network may stop showing the same ads to the repeat visitors, hence the lower impressions.

Those are pretty solid theories.

Let's not forget that chances are, Awstats and Clicksor stats aren't going to be identical.

Hmmm. Thanks for everybodys thoughts. Yesterday, I had 2 clicks, and I only recieved 1 penny for that. I'm not sure whether I should leave Clicksor and join Google or not.
