    I have just had 5 clicks on my sites, but no income.

    Does this mean that someone is sending invalid clicks to my site? Am I going to get banned by someone doing something dodgy?

    Page ctr = 10.87%... but $0.00 income for today???

    public service ad where you dont get paid for it.

    It might be updated later in the day or it's public services ads as suggested.

    Maybe the AdWords bid was only $0.01, how would this be shared with Google?

    If I'm not mistaken, $0.02 is the lowest bid possible.

    Unlikely if we're only talking 5 clicks and a brand new account, as seems to be the case. PSAs seem the most obvious explanation to me.

    :eek: you need to install ad logger into your site. If you want to be super super safe you can always contact google about it.

    I've asked Google about the same issue and they told me it's fraudulent clicks. Their system is not perfect but pretty close to perfect actually.

    It's not a new account - I think it's actually ads. I think I will contact them and see what is going on. now have had 8 clicks and 22 cents.
