I've had thsi problem since I've been using adwords. I have no idea why or if i'm seeing it wrong. Anyway I had my main campaign paused for a few months because I just wasn't getting any sales off my advertising but was paying like 30 bucks a month. I just started it last night with $1.00 a day to try it out again. Now it says I already was charged 95 cents and have 7 clicks. but if i do a search on all terms with clicks more than 0, I only get 2 clicks shown. Is there something I'm missing? the 2 clicks are a total of 45 cents.
There is a reporting delay and you can get different results depending on which detail you are looking at. "Reporting is not real-time. Clicks and impressions received in the last 3 hours may not be included here."
wow thats lame. So they update what they're charging you instantly (money money money) but not what charged you that.
I've waited all day now, when I log in from adwords.google.com it shows i have 5 clicks totaling 94 cents. but if i do a search of clicks greater than 0 it shows i only have 2 clicks. and I have no site targeted campaigns. What's up with this?
Try clicking on the campaign->ad group that got those clicks and sort by Clicks. The clicks will be displayed at the top of the page. Also, make sure to select "Yesterday", not "Today" statistics.
I did this and it still shows the same thing as yesterday. 5 clicks total but when i search the way you say, which is how i was doing it before, I still show only 2 clicks with 5 total. This is why I kinda stopped using them it seemed nothing ever added up and I got so confused.
