I had the same problem the other day. The stats showed click but no money. Than I remembered I used the feature to permit only certain sites to show my code. When I added my new site to the list, it was okay from that moment, clicks get counted now.
Just log in to your adsense account and see the stats showing the no. of page impressions, CTR, eCPM etc. It will show you the no. of dollars accrued to your account because of clicks. Depending upon your payment option (like 100 dolars, 500 dollars) the check will be sent to your address once you reach the target. But be patient for the check to reach your address which will take up to 4 weeks
you can see how much you have earned by going to you Adsense account. But make sure you don't click your own ads.
Maybe it was free ads displaying, when somebody clicked on your ad? You wrote that your account balance is $0.00, but didn't mentioned how many clicks did you get.
