1 click - zero earnings?

    I have noticed on my adsense that I have a click which has zero earnings at the side of it. Is this possible?

    I've seen 1 impression and 2 clicks in my Adwords account on several occasions. Anything is possible, I guess.

    1 impression and 2 clicks is possible if you open it in a new window/tab :p

    I have also seen this. I presumed the revenue split was under a penny and/or the revenue and click side are not always in sync with one another.

    Sure, I had that happen last week. Kind of a downer though when some of my clicks are for a couple dollars each.

    yes its quite possible in adwords the minimum you can pay is £0.01 thats in uk, anyway dont know what the minimum is in US but although it says 0 earnings, it still could have made you something but due to rounding error it rounded down too $0.00...

    A while ago i had this happen on two of my channels i had one click on each both worth $0.00 and then in overall eanings for those two clicks generated $0.01 so i think this was due to natural rounding error of somesort so i dont know if that was a mess up but adsense doesnt mess up that often for me...

    This may happen when you click your own ad, or someone who logged into your adsense account at least once.

    This happens when you click your own ads and when you have alternative ads or public service ads.

    alternative ads or public service ads are not tracked in your stats

    I've seen clicks like this on my account as well and I don't get alt ads at all.

    I use firefox and adblocker extension to block my own google ads. So by the way I never see or click my own ads from my computer.

    That the way I really earn much than normal..:) No more clicks or impression to my own ads.
    IT REALLY WORKS..

    Jenstar confirmed that PSA clicks can be seen in stats like 0 cents clicks...
    Be aware if your sites are not showing PSA's ;)

    Yeah, they must have been PSA's, consider that as charity by you. ;)
