I just checked my Adsense account to find out that one of my channel generates 4 clicks with 0 impression... there is a revenue out of those clicks too, is this even possible? Has it happened to any of you before? o_o;
It seems like a lot of times the clicks show up before the impressions. Give it a few hours, it'll return to normal.
Yes, I have seen this type of things in my account too. I believe that it is related to the different processes used to count clicks and impressions. Impressions rarely need sophisticated checks, but all clicks need some checks (automated or with human intervention). One can expect that impressions are (almost) shown in real time, but clicks are shown after a variable delay depending on the type of checks that needed to be performed. This can explain that Google reports clicks today for impressions of yesterday. Jean-Luc
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the delay is between someone actually clicking an on your site, to it showing up in your adsense account?
You really can't know for sure until the end of the day. Google's stats are a little wacky sometimes. It's only at the end of the day that everything comes together and makes sense. Wait until then, and if it doesn't resolve itself, post again.
