I got a click, but Adlogger didn't pick it up

    I've got a blog (the one linked above) and I got a click the other day (yes, I'm new so 1 click is big to me still, I know I know feel free to throw vegetables at me and get one of those big hooks to drag me off stage) and adlogger shows someone clicked but it doesn't show me which ad, it just says

    Your pages have received a total of 2 clicks. Of those 2 clicks, 0 were clicks on ads, and 0 were clicks on link units.

    But it was on an ad.

    Does adlogger require the php part to show what ads were clicked because php won't work on blogger.

    Yeah, adlogger doesn't work very well for that at all. Mine always say 0 Clicks for Ads/Link Units. Hopefully they'll fix that bug soon.

    Wow, really? I don't consider that a "bug" I mean the whole purpose of the program is to track clicks. That'd be like me writing a program to tell time and it not telling time.

    Can anyone reccomened a replacement that's free?

    Haha, that's true, isn't it? I suppose I am giving it credit for the other "small" features it offers as well (like emailing me every time I receive a click - I love receiving those emails :D ), but I agree - if it is meant to track clicks, then dammit, it should track clicks! :eek:

    Adlogger can't track actual clicks, it just predicts what it thinks are clicks, etc, and are oftentimes very wrong. So you can't rely on them because the only people who knows how many clicks you get is Adsense and they aren't going to share it with a third-party software like Adlogger.

    Adlogger isnt perfect, but it does have some great features..
    what version do you have? there is a new 'devel' version available, and the author is working on having the 'final' release finished up soon..
    he's also promsing YPN integration which would be awsome..

    Adlogger doesn''t require 'php' to track which ads were clicked.

    Just put a javescript code generated by adlogger at the bottom of ur page. Use php script to disable ads etc..

    [edit]
    Ah, the latest version doesnt tell u which ads were clicked!? I just noticed.. i have v1.0 and it does tell me which ads were lcicked if the browsers were using IE.

    Adlogger isn't that accurate, but it still has some good features like banning ips that click much and telling you about them
