I think this is due to invalid click even on your site. I think you should report to Google Adsense team with your account data.
Wow that is rough. I only had 8 clicks so far today and I am up to 4 dollars already. I have a question guys, I hope someone can help me. I have every site in my channel list so I can see exactly which sites produce how many clicks. Problem is that I got 5 clicks today worth 3 dollars and they are not for any channel which basically means that they come from some other site. I am confused as hell and the only explanation I can think off is that someone copied one of my sites and forgot to change the adsense code. If so, how could i track that and if not, what other reason can there be?
What is REALLY low, how is your traffic? (# of uniques you're getting) pay per impression might actually pay more for you..
You should consider yourself lucky that your account was not banned. You have a very high rate of invalid clicks and theu will end up banning your account if you cannot solve the problem. email them to stay in the safe side.
It takes time to build relations with potential advertisers. I can't imagine anyone being able to do that instantly.
Build your business model around receiving 2 cents a click ... then you know how much to build in order to achieve income. I have several niches that regularly pay 2 - 5 cents a click, and some niches that pay better. But if you always expect high paying clicks, you are not being realistic. Just my 2 cents... tasty
