I think there is something terribly wrong with the way AdSense calculates impressions. And if that number is wrong, it's also entirely possible that the clicks number is wrong, too. I recently posed my question to their help forum, but got no response. Anyway.
According to my webhost & logs; 2009 Page Views: 843,398

According to Google Adsense:

Yeah. That's what google has recorded for "all time", while the first link shows just this year alone. It is baloney.
- byoung2 17y agoI wondered about this too...the impressions are the number of times each ad is seen, so if you have 3 image banners on a page, and the page gets 1000 impressions, you would get 3000 adsense impressions. But what if instead of 3 image banners, they serve up three 4 text ad units. Does each ad in the unit get an impression, or does each ad unit get an impression. That would be the difference between 12000 impressions and 3000 impressions.
