I have been using adsense for a long time and am no rookie but when I see something on a channel like I did yesterday it causes me to question.. I've got a site I built about a month ago that is getting some traffice and generating some revenue (about .20 to .60 per day) I have had a couple days when I see .01 cents with 3 clicks and the same with 4 clicks for the day. Can anyone give me some idea of just how this can happen? I've never bought an adwords ad for less than .05 cents. I know google keeps part of it but how do you arrive at getting a third of a cent for a click?
Yup. On the content network with adwords, the minimum bid is actually 1 cent, not 5. The rest were invalid clicks. Just be thankful Google gave you the penny and didn't split it with you.
I think you will get an infraction for this post; For the guy who started the thread, i think those clicks are invalid, or you are missing a good niche or quality traffic.
thanks for the reply's. I think you are right, must have been a couple invalid clicks. Haven't seen anything like it and although this is a newer site its been doing minimum of .20 cents a day. Thanks all.
Why don't you try blocking the current ads through competitive ad filter? It worked for me sometimes.. Regards, www.Magnicio.com
well, be honest it happens to me always, i get $0.05 cents a click. soemtimes $0.01 click. its happening from last month.
