I got 100 Clicks last week which generated $0.
These are the clicks that google considers invalid. This could be a bot or your rival who could be doing this.
You should email them quickly to tell them that this is not you @ adsense-support@google.com
Also use this link:

Invalid clicks ! thats what is wrong . Install some click protection script to deal with this or you will also be posting a thread saying that I have been banned from google and I didn't do anything wrong !

The world is a dirty place so prepare your self for the worst ( dealing with invalid clickers ) and hope for the best :)

Best to act quick and protect yourself - you don't want to get banned, so definitely worth emailing adsense to be safe.

Well I am afraid YES . If you haven't contacted google yet then I will advise you to contact them by email ( adsense-support@google.com ) informing them about those clicks so that they realize its not you .

I can see many such issues with adsense. I think adsense will die soon for such activities.

Invalid clicks.

I ever found my report show 2 click with a lote money but after I refresh my report show 3 click with no money. I think GG can found click fruad and call money back to advertiser.

how old is the site? are you seeing related ads or PSA? if the site is new and you are getting PSA< then nothing to worry. but if you are getting related ads and clicks dont pay, then those are invalid clicks and you need to let google know about it.

you will not get banned if you didn;t click on the ads yourself. just inform google

google adsense doesn't always pay only creating the click. if it get good result from ad visit, it pay high rate

Will Google adsense team not know if the clicks are not your doing? I mean they must surely be checking on IP Addresses and all that stuff.

It was either click fraud or invalid clicks

It can be a person sitting next to your desk at your office and you both share 1 IP. Better you mention that to google to save you from being banned.

If you clicked on your own ads that is the problem! Else I dont know what to say.
