Hi all, First I want to present myself, I'm ibrahim From Morocco. Atcually, There is something disrupting me about Google adsense. yesterday I earned About 48$ & the details was : 5,186 visitors, 350 clicks Should i earn more than 48$ with this details? Any way, now i find only 40$, where the 8$ have go?? Also note that sometimes the money is missing is this normal? Thanks Guys!
How do you know that for certain? There are fraudulent clicks made by the site owner (which you would be aware of!) but then there is another class of "fraudulent clicks" where either someone else does it with malice, OR you have a very interested person on your site who clicks a number of the ads because he really is interested.
That's weird, I have heard of Google not counting clicks, but to actually take away the money doesn't seem very ethical.
Very ethical if the publisher doesn't deserve the money in the first place. $8 out of $48 is one of the more extreme cases I've heard of, though. Look at your earnings each month after Google finalizes them, mine never add up exactly to what my stats originally said. Impressions sometimes change, earnings sometimes change.
They take away money for plenty of reasons, for instance they find an IP address from someone who is clicking thousands on links just to "Stick it to Google" those will be taken away or the site owner clicks a link either on purpose or by accident they take that away, their TOS is pretty straight forward.
Google can be very funny when it comes to adsense earnings. Just be sure you do not disobey any of the rules and you shall be fine. They have never taken money off of my earnings so if it bothers you that much you can contact Google direct.
If someone has Adsense PLUS Adwords, will they take the expense from Adwords out of the earnings for Adsense? Or are those two completely independent when it comes to earning and spending?
The main question is this: What is your blog which is giving you that amount of earnings? and the other question is: Was it only deducted your 8$ only or it was decreasing your impressions too ?????
Dude! what are you talking about?? Make sure you're showing all the earnings ... In case they really taken off 8 bucks, then fine. Better than a permaban.
Or you called up your family members (within a 25 mile radius) and asked them to help ya out... google isnt stupid and do track IPs so if you have somebody clicking your ads daily from the same ip and close proximity then im sure it will get noticed. they invented the game so im sure they know how to play it better then anyone laterz malcolm
IMO, Google will never take your money if you do the business in a legitimate manner. Wondering how they will deduct $8 from your adsense earnings!
