I've recently created a new arcade website. So far today I've had 6 clicks on this perticular, however none of these clicks have earned any money. Has this happened to anyone else? None of these clicks have come from me so they cannot be invalid clicks.
There is your first mistaken assumption. They could still be found as invalid by their system, or have been PSA's...
Yes I agree to dbmasters . Invalid clicks does not means that they had come from the publisher itself but if google noticed strange clicking behavior to its ads , it can also declare them as invalid , like clicking the ads by bots etc
They can bee invalid clicks even not coming from you. Imagine there´s a guys click-bombing...adsense gets his IP and all clicks from him/her are considered invalid. There´s also a chance that they were genuine clicks but the adds were those generic google adds which usually appear when there are no keywords.
invalid click for google adsense makes you earn nothing. clicking your own PSA and by clicking at by the same IP's makes it.invalid
There maybe 3 reasons why you do not have any earning for clicks: - PSA - CPM ads - Invalid clicks. PSA is the public service advertisement and CPM ads are the ads that are paid when you receive impression on that ad, but not click. For invalid clicks, Google will classify the clicks as invalid if Google thinks the clicker is not willing to know or understand what kind of product or service are selling for that ad.That will increase the fiscal burden of the advertisers.
