Google Ignoring Majority Of My Adsense Clicks!!!

    What the heck is this? I started to notice that only 1/5 of my adsense clicks are showing in my adsense account! I am speaking of clicks on adsense on my main blog.

    I use other tracking tools like statcounter, mybloglog...etc. and it is always the same! Google are overlooking majority of my adsense clicks! I am not using cloaking or any of the unethical methods, but still.

    Yesterday sets the record: 11 adsense clicks and not a single one counted by Google! I set up channels for all ads, and even if without channels, no increase in earnings, nor detection of clicks. I can only see those in other trackers.

    Only things counted, were some adsense clicks on other sites I have.


    Also recently I noticed that Google has banned a recent blog post I did, that ranked no.1 for the major topic keyword! View thread here:

    Are you using the "Allowed sites" feature for Adsense? If you are make sure that you have added your blog as an allowed site otherwise clicks form it will be discarded.

    Any - and I mean any - click tracker will show more clicks than Google.
    Trackers are good to see if some idiots clickbombed you.
    Since you cannot modify the adsense code, so there is no way to track the exact amount of clicks.
    Only google knows how much real clicks you get.
    Old issue.

    I think we cannot trust click tracking programs.... Once I used Adlogger.. Then one day I found a suspecious click.. I then checked its IP address and found surprized.... GoogleBot!!!! Yes, the Adlogger shows GoogleBot clicked one of my ads.... hmmmm......

    Where is this feature located, and what exactly does it do??

    guidyy.. why would some idiot keep clickbombing me everyday, 'causing google to ignore the clicks? By this you mean no tracker can show us the no. of real clicks? If you are right, then that's a hell lot of fraudclicks and clickbombing bastards we are getting!

    bturkay, don't know about the page views thing yet,,, need to check that too.

    vvtv, adlogger is screwed up! you raise a very good point... it's a problem if all trackers also track bots visits, unless we choose that from an option. Why would google bots click on their ads, or miggle with them causing trackers to misunderstand what is happening?

    amitfan.... I hope that is the case, and hope it is resolved soon! We are missing good amounts of cash this way!

    Since I started with Adsense, I've got about 5000 page views and 46 clicks. All this is $0.72 !

    Is any thing wrong?

    Today I had 12 clicks from search queries for a total of $0.00. I've e-mailed the adsense team, but any idea why?

    No, I said that trackers will always show much more clicks than real.
    Trackers are good to see your trend, from what countries you are getting clicks, what ads bloclk perform better and eventually to spot the idiots that are clickbombing you.
    Mybloglog is showing 28 clicks on my dir, while G reports zero. I'm sure zero is the right one, because usually webmasters don't click ADS (I don't, do you?)
