    What's going on!

    I've had 4 clicks on an Ad and 1c to show for it?

    How can this be?

    Some of those clicks were probably counted as invalid. It happens sometimes.

    My explanation: Shit happens.
    other possible explanation 1: only 1 valid click worth 1c
    other possible explanation 2: some smartpricing thingy going on

    Log in later in couple of hours.. maybe it was a mistake from adsense. Or the stats didn't update yet.

    Your site might've been showing Public Service Ads. You don't get paid for those clicks.

    That's what I thought, I mean it must be - but I didn't know Adsense paid for that, or I didn't know that Adwords cash went on page impressions as well as clicks.

    Earnings and clicks are updated close to real time, impressions take several hours to appear.
