Unexplainable Adsense Earnings... Hmmmm

So for the past 3 to 4 days I've noticed that my earnings page on adsense shows earnings that do not add up with my clicks.
In other words, it shows the number and clicks with each earnings but the TOTAL earnings for that day is always $3.00 to $7.00 more than my clicks earnings... why is this?

The earnings are accumulating but it won't show me where is coming from and is not coming from my clicks

My traffic is not a lot (is only about 100 to 200 per day)...
The only thing I did differently 3 to 4 days ago was to add banners to my pages but they don't show being clicked on either and impressions are very low.

I just want to know where those extra $3 to $7 per day are coming from, that's all.

Are you a Youtube partner?
Did you accidentally put up an ad without labeling it as having a channel?

 

you should not worry about it. its not your headache.
enjoy the anonymous earning..cheers.

 

Perhaps someone scraped your site and hasn't removed your ads?

 

Yes, but from a few months ago and can't remember a thing about them

This is a possibility but the only major thing I did 3 days ago was to translate my "credit" website to Spanish with a graphic and unit ad but I'm almost sure I labeled it.. I'll look into it

LOL Maybe this is Google's way of compensating me for the Spanish "Credit" website

Thanks guys!

MsPearl, best thing to do is go to your account then AdSense Setup / Allowed Sites and set Only allow certain sites to show ads for my account, then just list the sites that are yours and I am not sure but just in case if you use 3rd party ad server also list it.

 

Thanks Orz,
What exactly will this do for me? I just need to understand what it will do.
I have no 3rd party other than Adsense.
I really need to find out where those anonymous earnings are coming from.
I suspect they're coming from a non-labeled channel but I check everywhere and I have them all labeled so I'd like to find a way where I can check to see which channels I've missed labeling... Does anybody know how I can accomplish this?

This is so weird how it just started increasing my earnings just a few days ago out of the blues and I have no idea where they're coming from

Thanks very much and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to all !!!!

I think you must have adsense placed somewhere else that you are not aware of, or placed once and forgot about it. Almost all the time the same thing happens to me, the clicks don't add up to the total.

 

I've had weird things like this happen to. google adsense is strange.

 

Use the filter option in the Adsense Setup section which lets you use your PUB ID only for your specified sites. This can seriously save your account.

 

I think I know where the earnings are coming from (not sure 100%)
What I know for sure is that some of the earnings are coming without clicks so this could mean that I forgot to label a channel like someone already pointed out.

I just realized that the only codes I didn't label are those of the search boxes because I didn't know how to add them to my page but I did it few months ago and forgotten all about them. But I still think that if this is where some of my earnings are coming from, I consider it rather high for just search.. ($3 and up daily)

I've also noticed lately that the number of channel clicks do not match the number of total clicks, they're always off by 20 or more clicks but the total earnings always matches the total of clicks.

Okay, enough yada yada for today

Thanks to all of you who've helped with this.
