25 clicks = 0.00$?!

    Hello,
    I logged into my adsense account a couple of minutes ago, and with very few impressions, I had an unusual amount of clicks, yet 0 dollars. To top it off, apparently they all came from a site I own thats been down for a week now! Anyone know why?!

    Thanks... Nicolas

    I've noticed a lot of these invalid clicks, hopefully google doesn't get ban friendly.

    Quite obvious all of those clicks are invalid.

    That happened to me as well. 25 clicks, to boot.

    I immediately sent Google an email reporting unusual activity. I've read all the horror stories from folks on here that've gotten banned.

    There may be two reasons, as stated above, they probably are invalid clicks or you are in middle of your stats updation.

    there are 2 possibilities

    1) click bomb/ invalid click
    2) updating stat

    So, as a precaution step, send a report to google about your stat.

    I happen the same one time, I have 32 clicks and $0, this are invalid clicks, the same people who click a lot of time in the same ads... people who waste the time doing jokes.

    Report it to Google so your adsense account doesn't get banned.

    yes, i guess they were public service ads, that's what I was thinking. But, if you say your site was down, how is that possible :S

    That's a mystery dude. You sure your site was down?
