83 clicks for 0 cents....

    Got a new website. About 2 weeks old now. Been getting some traffic through, a little bit.

    About 5k impressions, 83 clicks, for 0.00...

    Now I knew video sites paid bad, but not 83 clicks for nothing. I got another video site that pays avg 2 cents a click.

    The script was ready made, I just altered it a bit. For the ads, I just had to put channel id, and pub-id. now, that could be the problem. This script is a bit old and could be that the script is outdated, eventhough the channel is reporting fine.

    I contacted google 3 days ago and still waiting.

    a) google is considering them invalid clicks.
    b) site is generating PSA ads which don't pay anything when clicked.

    Do you have any relevant content on the sites? Give it some oomph so you don't always get the PS ads. Are you using text or images?

    a) I've never seen PSA Ads since I made it.
    b) I don't know why. Unless those 5000 impressions were generated by same person and same person clicked the ads?

    Google is crap right now, erind PM me ill give you a program that is 100% better, 40 clicks 12 dollars, i average 20-50 cents, and its NOT widgetbucks, it looks like google ads, and you can pick keywords or let it pick keywords for you like google.

    DO you have Image Ads set up?

    Maybe the clicks are to Site Targetted Ads ? but you should see income from them...

    Maybe u altered your ad code?

    Dunno maybe a Google problem.

    First off, what have you done to get traffic? As in the sources. For a 2-week old site with little SEO + newly created, 5K impressions is "kind of" a lot. Just wondering because I feel like the source of your traffic might be the problem.

    What kinds of commercial uses of the YouTube website are prohibited, and which aren't?

    We've recently updated our Terms of Use to clarify what kinds of uses of the website and the YouTube Embeddable Player are permitted. We don't want to discourage you from putting the occasional YouTube video in your blog to comment on it or show your readers a video you like, even if you have general purpose ads somewhere on your blog. We will, however, enforce our Terms of Use against, say, a website that does nothing more than aggregate a bunch of embedded YouTube videos and intentionally tries to generate ad revenue from them.
