    lol

    Then check out the rest of the help... as, if you do not understand the terms used in the TOS, then the TOS is not going to help you all that much.

    Maybe some of the clicks are on CPM or PSA ads.

    How many impressions did you have in order to get those 8 clicks..?

    The clicks alone don't tell you the whole story. Look at the impressions and your CTR percentage. That will tell you what you need to do... ie- change the location of the ads, change the appearance of your ad blocks, etc.

    On your other blogs, have you tested different ad variations?

    $0.03 per click-ish. Not the worst I've seen.

    I have no problems with the TOS.
    SO an impression is just an invalid click right?

    I can raise my hand for that!

    The adsense board has just went downhill for the last year, and it continues to drop. With no moderation or merging of threads... nothing less can be expected.

    Wow, I wish I made $0.25 off 8 clicks. You're making a killing.

    Try $0.01-$0.02 per click. That's what I'm getting.

    Just stop complaining now and get used to it: your niche sucks.

    You should give us more clicks stats so it's easy to make the right conclusion

    New AdSense publishers think that's pretty bad. The truth is that's the reality of AdSense.
    Sure you will get clicks paying a lot more than just 2-3 cents, but most of the clicks pay as low as that.

    Umm, according to Google impressions are invalid clicks, so 100 impressions still won't gie you anything.

    I always get $0.03 per click. Its normal for me and many other people.

    I suggest you increase your traffic.

    Traffic = $$$

    LOL, I linked you to the glossary, so you should know the difference between a click and an impression....though it's clear that you do not.

    How can you not have trouble with the terms & conditions if you do not understand what it's talking about?

    The ToS uses the word CLICK in one form or another over a dozen times, and impressions 6 times. So how did you have no problem if you didn't understand the terms used?


    Click

    In link unit reports, the number of clicks received by ads on a page resulting from a link click. This is different from link clicks, the number of times a link in a link unit is clicked by a user, leading to them viewing the page of ads.

    [SIZE=-0] Ad impression [/SIZE]
    An ad impression is reported whenever an individual ad is displayed on your website. Different ad formats will display varying numbers of ads; for example, each time a vertical banner appears on your site, you'll see two ad impressions in your reports. In addition, keep in mind that the number of ads in any ad unit may vary depending on whether the ad unit is displaying standard text ads, expanded text ads, or image ads.
    (also see: Ad unit impression)




    Invalid click or impression may assist as well in the understanding of the ToS
