    They might've been considered fraudulent clicks by Google...everyone gets those no cents clicks. Don't know why you lost three cents though.

    Nothing. That's part of the AdSense game.

    or they might have been "public service ads" (not paid).

    Most probably the reason, you could always ask Google, but you will not be wiser from their answer on this.

    Ahh well I thought you got 3 clicks and lost 3 cents. You got 3 clicks and got nothing. Seems to be invalid clicks. Are you clicking on your own ad? I would contact google asap because 3 invalid clicks can get you banned.

    No. You'll always have a few tossed out clicks here or there.

    Their algorithm is a mystery...and after all the lawsuits against them by advertisers, the detection has gotten even more aggressive.

    Jeez -- wait until you get enough clicks to get out of the "noise level." Three clicks can't tell you anything about anything. If you get 1000 clicks and don't see any earnings, that's something to worry about.
