7 clicks 0 cents??

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by japindian, Jun 29, 2008.

    I just started monetizing my website screwcensorship.com with adsense, and in the past 4 days I have gotten 7 clicks (about 3 percent CTR), but I haven't gained a cent! Is it normal for adsense to not payout for the first few weeks or something? And no I am not clicking my own ads.:confused:

    Thanks.

    Some person must have clicked your ads constantly, and system detected them as invalid.

    But even if someone clicked the ad multiple times wouldn't it at least count it the first time?

    Not always, adsense detects all sorts of click fraud. if the same person clicked someone elses ad a million times and then yours it might now count. Ive even heard of fractions of a penny clicks not showing up for a bit. Good luck.

    If you have ppl just going to your site directly then clicking adds / leaving there invalid or if they click to many adds. google is very good at detecting invalid clicks.

    Only explanation is Adsense not working properly or invalid clicks.

    Ok thank you! Is there anyway to detect the ip of who clicks the ad? I'm pretty sure google does not provide it, so is there any 3rd party program

    7 clicks = 0c => invalid clicks for sure ;)

    invalid click. This might happen if the page are not complete load or the visitor re-fresh the ads

    It must surely be invalid clicks... someone must have clicked your ads repeatedly

    Like others have said it must've been invalid clicks, that's the only thing I can think of.

    Thanks for all the replies, I set up statCounter and Google Analytics in my website to see where the bad traffic is coming from. (Google Analytics seems like a pain though as it seems as if they only show stats from the previous day).
