I recently started out a finance blog that targets credit and mortgages, placing google ads onto the page. The page is young but i have had 2 clicks on the ads today but its saying that the amount i get is £0.00 2 16.67% £0.00 £0.00 My earnings for the day are the same as when there was 1 click but it seems to have frozen. Anyone else having this issue? It says i have had 10 clicks today across my sites but looking into the break down i only see 9 recorded on the stats...
I think your clicks become invalid, I also faced some time similar problem and research about invalid clicks. there are many reason behind invalid click, like if a user click two ads one single unit at a time then it become invalid. or clicks are coming from same IP everyday then also.
Aren't some Google adds paid by impression? So just because the ad is clicked does not mean you make money, you would only make money after the ad appers some many times. Anyone else have thoughts on this?
If your blog is only few days old this could happen. Also usually they sort out stats at end of the day. So your clicks are not invalid clicks you will see them later in your account. Also these might be clicks for those welfare ads and also CPM.
