this morning I got up and have 124 clickthrus on adwords to my landing page. Adsense shows only 41 impressions on that page.
My on site stats monitor shows that about 50% of the visits are ZERO seconds in length.
In addition, Google analytics shows a 74% conversion rate - i.e. only 74% of visitors that clicked on my ad actually made it to my landing page.
With a total cost of $52, that means that only 50% of 75% of what I spent was actually for a visit. My Adsense account confirms this number showing only 41 page impressions.
Adwords, it appears, is ripping me off BIG TIME! How do I bring this to Google's attention and what will they do about it? :eek:
edited to add: I forgot to mention that my onsite stats monitor and my google adwords stats match up perfectly. both show 124 hits between midnight and now.
It appears that my REAL cost per visitor is more in the range of $1.10.
