I have also had a similar issue with the RPC for my parked sites. (4mesotheliomas.com) On Monday i had 1 click on the site, and the payment was $19.72. On Tuesday i had about 4 clicks and the payment was $2.75 per click. Does anyone know why there would be a difference in the RPC?
The only other thing I can think of is that I setup the ad channel for this site when google was having channel problems. Maybe it didn't register correctly. I have no idea but it’s very frustrating.
Just to let you know, you're breaking TOS on your links page. (No content, ads labeled incorrectly) I'd change it ASAP. Edit: Dude, you're breakin TOS on all of your pages except the home page! This might be the reason you're having problems.
check "allowed sites"- i had a few clicks but $0.00, found out the hard way after 32 clicks later, that ive configured "allowed sites" when i first got my adsense account and forgot to add my new domains in.
Thank you, thank you. a couple weeks ago I thought I had someone using my google so I added all the sites but since this is a new site I forgot about that. Did they ever credit you for the past clicks once you added the site?
From reading other posts on this forum you should see a 'feedback - ads by Google' link on the ad if it's a PSA or the 'make your donation here' ads.
No it wasn't public ads, when google was having the problem with channel reporting I though someone was using my code and setup allowed sites. This site that I built wasn't added to the allowed sites. So I wasn't getting credit for the clicks.
Haha. Dude I did the same thing. I was having problems with my account because i forgot to put a channel on one of the ads and still saw ad clicks, so I added my sites to allowed sites. Then I made another one, but I forgot to add it to allowed sites. 100+ clicks later, I am not making any money, and google is calling them "Illegal clicks". Apparently they werent, they just weren't allowed.
I have had 8 clicks today with no earnings. They were very early in the morning. I am hoping there is just a reporting bug today. I checked my site and the ads were the normal ads. One of my other sites did not have any of these phantom clicks.
If your site is showing PSA's after 24 hours of putting them. contact google. or just use section targeting at your meta description and meta keyword. like this: <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <meta name="description" content="Your Meta Description" /> <meta name="keywords" content="Your Meta Keywords" /> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> HTML: This will help.
