    Statcounter - AdSense Situation...
    Many people have been reporting that their Statcounter Scripts are tracking
    more clicks than their AdSense Clicks. If you're not up to date on the
    situation, people are checking their users' "exit link activity," which is a
    feature in Statcounter that is easily accessible through the sidebar navigation.

    Why is my CTR LOW?
    Today, I thought to myself, "What am I doing wrong?" My ads are in a prime
    location, and I know almost everything I need to know about AdSense to get
    the best CTR and earnings possible. So why are my CTR's suffering?

    "No conversion, no click count" debunked...
    I continued to think about all of the possibilities. Many people thought that
    AdSense was simply counting clicks that converted well for the advertisers.
    However, this couldn't be the case. I mean, why should the publisher be
    punished if the advertiser has a cruddy or irrelevant website?

    Blame Statcounter!
    As many people continued to blame AdSense for this problem, I thought to
    myself, "Maybe it's not AdSense... Maybe it's Statcounter."

    Removed Statcounter... Increased Earnings...
    So I decided to remove the Statcounter Script from my template. 12 hours
    later, my earnings greatly increased. In fact, one of my blogs earnings
    increased 1000%.


    Weird?

    1000% sometimes cant tell the truth. If your initial earning is 2 cents, you get only 20 cents after improve 1000%.

    Well it works for you then you should to carry on your site without! Well we all knows Google's tracking is perfect and they only count clicks which complete correctly. Sometimes visitor just click ads and closed the page which is not valid click and Google don't count it click!

    I have had this site for 4 months now.
    Traffic has been consistent.
    I have never been close to making this much with AdSense on it in a single day.
    Removed Statcounter today, and BAM. 1000% increase.
    I'm not talking small earnings, man.

    Give it a try and see if it works for you, dude.
    Maybe it's just me, but it's worth the try...

    Let me know if your earnings continue to hit record high in the next few days. Then there would a definite correlation between adsense and statcounter. I would be tempted to do the same.:D

    Hmm , what i am thinking is , the statcounter widgets are big , occupy quite large space and attract people that diverts the focus of a visitor from the AD!

    Correct me if i am wrong

    Remove your statcounter for 24 hours, add it back for 24 hrs, remove for 24 hrs and add it back again. Tell us the result :)

    Google / Adsense are reliable i don't see why you need to track your clicks like that, even if you could prove that more clicks were occurring then registering with your adsense account there is not much you can do about it, i would be more worried about spending that time working on your sites rather than keeping track of your clicks.

    Good luck

    I cant see how removing statcounter can lead to increase in adsense earnings. Im not using statcounter myself, so cant tell the difference.

    What would cause the increase in earnings?

    Better CTR or better EPC?

    Also, why would there be a difference?

    I don't see the correlation.
