Why Google doesn't take into account Clicks from China?

    Hi All!

    I've got a problem (??) with adsense: I own a website (seafood portal) and a lot of my visitors come from China.

    2-3 weeks ago I installed Statcounter (in order to have a complementary tracking tool (I use also google analytics))

    during 2-3 weeks until know I noticed:
    - Page views (approximately the same between the 2 different tools)
    - Amount of Clicks on google ads is different (and the gap is HUGE!)

    Here is what I found while analysing my stats:
    - All the clicks that were not taken into account by Google adsense (or analytics) comes from China
    - Ads were NOT clicked by bots (I got several emails from my website contact form and I was able to map the sender's IP address with the IP in tracking tools)
    - Ads were NOT clicked by me
    - No trick is used to make my visitors click by errors...

    Questions:
    - Why these clicks don't even appear as 0,00$ revenue in adsense or analytics?
    - Did you noticed the same thing? (Click from China not taken into account => You'll have to setup another tracking tool than google analytics to see them!)

    Any recomendation/missing setup in google adsense...? I'm a newbie!

    Thanks a lot per advance for your feedbacks!

    Anto

    1. Google analytic doesn't record Adsense clicks.
    2. Sometimes, google didn't count clicks on Adsense.

    => I noticed the same thing.

    => I know. But in my case, this concerns ONLY clicks from China.
