    One of my blogs got four clicks, yet it yielded 0 earnings - why is that? My blog does not display any PSA's. What could be the explanation for this?

    Its either a mistaken click by yourself or a possible glitch in google's software thinking you clicked them yourself?!

    @ dootch: if they are classing it as click fraud, would Google know someone else did the clicking? because I am positive I did not click on my own ads.

    @ceweqsakti: perhaps so, my page view was just two, click 4... however, there have been instances in the past when my blog had pageview and click ratio of 1:1, the clicks even more, yet there was earnings credited..

    Most of the time google adsense report does not show correct number of clicks. I hv experience the same. Alos chances of invalid click or click fraud can be attributed to this issue.

    in last days, I saw weird things...

    today, for now, 2 clicks on my blog = 19 cents, 1 click on my site = 5 cents what is together 25 cents but there write Today Earnings: 42 cents...

    why google give me money for free? it's better for me :D , but is weird...

    and this is not the first time i saw something like that...

    the blog involved isn't in any of the three below, it's a financial niche, albeit, I have had clicks everyday for months and google pays..perhaps this is just an isolated case don't you think?

    It could be a CPA ad = Cost per action, which when not completed earns 0

    It can happen, some spam sites pick up on very minor word with little relavance and get away with really low click costs!

    I've never seen $0.00 but I have seen < $0.05 for some clicks. Its worth checking your adds every now and then (obviousl#y dont click them) and just delete the spamy looking ones as competitors. I take it you have already done this with things like Ebay and Yell (they pay very little!)
