[SOLVED] Huge reduction in revenue

[gigawert]

So on the YouTube analytics page, under "Your Estimated Revenue", it was at about $4 at the 15th of this month. However when I checked my AdSense panel just now it says I only have $1.54. I am not using an MCN.

Why is this? Could it be because 60% of my views come from an external source (which is because my videos are often embedded in the description of game mods)? Or is it something else?

Thanks guys for your input on this issue.

EDIT: I found out that on the 15th of each month, AdSense only reports your earnings up to the last day of the previous month.

What date range was it showing for YouTube analytics?

Well, I just started monetizing about a month ago. So my Adsense panel should theoretically match what it says on my analytics page for Lifetime.

Adsense shows on the 15th your balance up to the last day of the previous month.

Oh, alright. So it only shows up to July 31st?

Yep. Then on September 15th it will show up to August 31st.

Ok, thanks! I was a bit worried that Google was taking more out of my income than they said they would.

Make your YouTube analytics show up to July 31st and see how it matches up.
