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. Thanks.
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. -Patz
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.
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
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).
