Google cheating : no impression but click!!!

Discussion in 'Google AdWords' started by tuba, Jul 30, 2010.

    I am a bit surprised today while looked at my adwords account. There is no impression but 1 click and google charged for that click.

    Would someone explain this please if you have similar experience or knowledge.

    This happens on occasion and not something to worry about.

    Remember that Google has many servers and they have to relay information to each other. This takes time and why you can see such things during the day. In fact, I'm pretty sure that computers specialize in one area. One will keep track of impressions, another of clicks. During traffic lulls, they send this information to each other. So one piece of information gets updated before another which can result in weird things like you see. If you look later (best after the day is over), you'll likely see the number of impressions having caught up.

    There is also not just one server for all Adwords accounts. There are many. Information has to be passed around to those as well to be updated. You likely are not logging into the same server when you use Adwords. If you do this fast enough and lucky to log in to different servers, you might see lower numbers the second time around.

    I am also doubtful about impression and number of clicks. its seems that someone is there for just clicking.

    Just to inform that there is no update on that particular date. 24 hours over, I can see next day's report. Still '0' impression and 1 click.

    Now it seems to me doubtful. Sent mail to google with screenshot but no reply yet.

    yes, google network provides huge impressions and clicks but as I don't want to advertise on network so only advertise if someone search a specific keyword :)

    did you make sure that Google did not credit you for an invalid click. Sometimes it will show that in the billing page.
