Hello, Can someone explain why when I look at crazyegg.com's heatmap for one page on my site why it would say 14 clicks for 1 day but Google Adsense says nothing at all? Like theres no activity at all for my referral button even though I'm 100% positive it has atleast been seen by people? Its not even showing 1 click! Is Google ripping me off or what!? www. evilpsp.com
It could be mouseovers of the referral button are counted as clicks in the reporting software... its my only guess as why referral clicks are not showing up in your adsense report stats.
Google isnt going to rip you off.. make sure that you havnt changed or somehow messed-up your referral code - ..and Ganceann is right - you're probably just seeing "mouseovers" - How much traffic are you getting to that page? if it's just a few a day - say 50 or less, it would not be unusual to not get any clicks.. if you're getting more, something might be wrong.. i'm betting that you just arent getting any clicks.. YET...
The referral button is on the side bar so it loads on every page and my site gets about 500-900 uniques a day
Still not even 1 impression on my referral, I've tryed replacing the referral code with a fresh copy. I know people are clicking on the referral button, what gives?
Sounds like something is wrong.. if you want pm or email me the site, i'll have a look at it for you..
got your PM.. sorry, didnt realize you had already posted the site.. i think i might have found the problem - I cant even find a FF referral on your site! I do see a GooglePack referral button - but the color is blended with the background of that portion of the page, making it half-invisible. MY suggestions: 1) Make your referral button's stand out a bit more - like I said above, the GooglePack referral blends in so well, i hardly even noticed it 2) integrate your referrals into your content.. I 'invented' a technique for doing this that works so well google now recommends it as the best way for earning more with referrals. See this page at google for more info.. This works best if you can make a good case as to why your visitors should use the referral product - this might be difficult for a PSP related site - you might have to get creative..
