I got 4 page impressions today, and One click from them impressions, but i got $0.00 earnings for that click, (which it should have been $0.12 for example\) sombody explain that, its confusing ???
There are a few possibilities: -It was an invalid click -The ad was a Public Service Ad (you don't get paid for those) -The click was less than $0.01
I think a genuine click has got to be worth at least a cent. It was probably like an incvalid click or even more likely a PSA.
I would say it was a public service ad. You do not make any money when they have no ads for your site and show a public service ad.
it was most likely an invalid click. Google has lots of ways to tell wether the click was valid or not, so if they believe it was invalid, they don't pay you.
It was most probably an invalid click or PSA. This normally happens if someone clicks on the ad quickly and then realises straight away that they didn't want to do it and then closed the window straight away or presses the back button.
That is just some bull google makes up so we don't all share our stats publicly, they will not enforce this rule. for as far as I know, nobody has ever had their account suspended for sharing their earning stats. Or else you will know, of course, people would start threads about it saying "WHY WAS I BANNED for" not "clicking on my own ads" but "telling others about my earnings"
Google has the right to not give publishers/you anything. today they might give you .80 a click, 2 days later the same ad can get you .02 a click, and no one can say jack about it. If they decide to one day make and extra $10million and give pubs. .02 per click - what can you/we do?
