Here is a strange story.. This is not about my google adsense account.. Actually I make some decent money so I took the liberty of telling some friends about this.. Helped this lady make a website and promote it. I showed her how to signup for adsense and she is a member of adsense from 20 Aug 2008 I explained that adsense will bring her money and I put my professionalism at stake when I saw that google didn't pay one click. The site has an average of 100 impressions a day this transforming in as much as 12 clicks a day. All clicks value 0 $. To top things off. I sent google an email in her name 4 days ago with all the traffic logs asking for that site. I asked her site to be reviewed as the site has real visitors and we are honest people. Google didn't respond until this date. I am amazed of this as I had nothing but best experience with google so far. I told them in the email that I am willing to cooperate no matter the issue. Maybe the account didn't receive money because of the ad placement. I never encountered this but who knows I can expect anything now. The google adsense account is from Romania and I see adSense support in Romania is slow and not that good for some time.. The ads are not images but normal ads.. I am not going to reveal the website url nor the keywords it is ranking on as I am afraid of the possible competition on a webmaster forum Did u guys encounter such thing before ? What more can I do.. I sent the email.. Now what?

Hiya Matey , I had the same problem . In the first 7 days it'll appear ''Public Ads'' Just google to Review your site and choose the best content for it . I think After 1 week 28 Aug + , she'll start earning Money p.s: I am not an expert but i share what i know and excuse me if its wrong . Thanks
On the site appear normal ads! I keep getting everyday 14 clicks or so but no money... I have 200 or so page views perday.. I contacted Google about this three times No reply from google for over a week.. Publisher email is beatrisze@Yahoo Please help!
If the clicks do not transform into $$, then they are considered as invalid clicks and will be useless. More invalid clicks will tend to land you in trouble and jeopardize your account. Hence, contact the adsense at once and explain your position. Follow the TOS in true spirit
You must contact then again and explain the whole situation, when clicks are being showed in th account and you are earning no revenues it means that Google is considering them as invalid clicks which can put you in trouble leading to a suspension of the Adsense account. You must strictly adhere to their TOS. I don't mean to scare you, but its better to take precautions as Google is becoming strict day by day and is quick in banning account due to invalid click activity. Tehmina
thanks all! I sent yet another mail to adsense .. Waiting for any kind of reply. Btw today I changed the ad placement and I see I got 2 clicks from 80 visits, but what's new is that I got $0.02 from those .. I guess this is a good start. I highly doubt any of the clicks were invalid.. but google will hit the verdict... Hope they verify my mail soon
1276 impressions & 57 clicks - thats 5% CTR. Might be Google wanted to check the cause of high CTR (esp its a new account), before crediting..
wow @ your stats i had 15,000 impressions for only 60 clicks, but not blended in .. i could of done a better job
Here is what google says about clicks but no earnings for more possible causes of Discrepancies in your reports check here https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/static.py?page=troubleshooter.cs&problem=reporting_discrepancies&selected=why_discrepancies Well contact them again but this time by telephone or fax. Because i have seen many people account getting banned when their earnings go near $100. You dont wana be one of them so contact them now so that if yor site is not compatible with adsense you can switch to some other alternative now without wasting your time. Hope it helps
You can ask for your query to admin side of google and wait for your reply. I think you will get correct answers from google.
i realy dont understand with this CTR things i read some article and it say if your CTR high you must beware of click fraud etc etc and the other article say if your CTR is very low you probably get adsense smart priced or something this things is realy2 make me confused high CTR you must beware low CTR low earning argghh
yeah public service ads are so low paying it's unbelievable. Hope she starts to get some decent higher paying links soon. also check out the most profitable niches with the google CPC traffic estimator https://adwords.google.co.uk/select/TrafficEstimatorSandbox
You should earn money from clicks, if you are not then it means some thing is wrong. Google is counting the clicks as invalid clicks. I suggest you should contact adsense support and tell them about this.
