I have just installed statcounter on my site. You can see people who clicked adsense links on statcounter ( with exit link activity). But when i verify on adsense, they show and accept nearly "only" %33 of all clicks. It is really unfair. If you want to see photos, i can send.Why google behaviour unfair like that? is that happened to you too? I just wonder if i'm only one in this situation.
because google counts thouse clicks that the program(adsense) thinks are good for the ones who pay for the ad
google has fraud detection technology and they filter out clicks that they think are not valid clicks.
You need to take into account bots, double clicks etc as it would be unfair the advertiser getting charged for an unqualified click.
I noticed the same trend with Statcount showing over 10 clicks and Google not even accepting even one, however I am not sure why does this happen. When I drilled down on statcounter reports - at times it showed that I had clicked the ads myself (though I know i haven't - dn't wish to be penalized by Google for such a thing) No way to verify how statcounter is saving the clicks - and this remains open to debate. What i can advice is to use Google Analytics code - you can get a good picture only when you use another tool to compare stats as shown by statcounter! Thx
Earlier i used to feel the same way but later on i came to know that statcounter shows false report.Even when no on e clicks on an ad it shows it.I noticed ad clciks from my ip even when i never clicked on my ads.
Wow, you don't have very high CTR... you could really up your earnings by fixing up your adsense layout
If you could prove what you say then you might become rich Im sure a judge would luv to see accurate data to prove something of what you say... But what if they where committing the fraud then what? ... ohh thats right they dont do anything wrong laterz malcolm
i don't believe that google adsense is really effective. Today, someone found my site on google, he visited and he clicked 3 adsense. But when i check my account, it is shown 1 adsense. It is really unfair. I can see now reality after statcounter.
Statcounter is not very accurate. I notice that even the page load impressions is not even accurate. I check the statcounter today, and notice that it reflects only 1/3 of the page load impressions that Google counts.
In Bangladesh click rate is very low than USA or other rich country. Some times I got 2 clicks but no any cent that means adsense forgets to count the click. These clicks are international click.
I wonder if all three advertisers paid for the clicks. I can't imagine that google would tell the ad buyer, "we are reimbursing you for some clicks because they were fraudulent." Take it from a guy that spends thousands a month on adwords, I have never received such a letter. Back to the main topics... I too see many more clicks on statcounter's exit activity than I get credit fro with adsense.
Google has fraud detecting technology. OK, but who's checking Google? The government? In my State people in prison are not allowed to have cell phones or drugs, yet many prisoners do. How does this happen? After all, these are government ran institutions and the guards are government employees. If the government can't even police after themselves in something so simple as a prison, how can you even begin to think that they could monitor Google's activities? There should be some kind of fraud detection for Google, but who would do it and how? How can you be absolutely certain that Google isn't cheating people?
