Adlogger says someone clicked on ad, adsense doesn't register a click

    I get Adlogger to send an email for all Adsense clicks - have found it very useful and also have some evidence should any click-fraud type investigation take place.

    Now Adlogger sent me an email today as normal for the first click of the day - Adsense says no click was there for that channel- even after a few hours. A bit confused here as to what to believe. I traced the IP of the clicker back to the Phillipines & confirmed tha the user did visit the website and browse by checking the Cpanel logs

    A glitch in Adlogger or Adsense?

    You get an email for every click? If you're site gets popular, you're going to get mail-bombed!

    On a side note. What kind of info do the emails contain? Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to set up a separate email account solely for the adlogger emails (I'm just thinking about covering your ass should Google see invalid clicks).

    Adlogger counts mousovers and right-clicks as "clicks".. Your visitor probably just paused his mouse over the ad for a second without clicking..

    It's a great script, but that's a big drawback..
