Adlogger's figures doesn't match with my adsense stats

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by ivalok, Jan 21, 2007.

    I've installed the adlogger and after a few days, I found out that the number of clicks shown in adlogger doesn't match with that in my adsense account. And the adlogger has reported that there are people keeping clicking the adv within a short period of time.

    Base on your experience is that a bug of adlogger? Did any of you experience this before?

    thanks, I think I'll just use it as a reference. As I didn't set the max no. of click per user, I might think about it now. :D

    How much difference (percentage) are you getting from both ?
    I'm using a selfmade script and I'm tracking only 70% (aprox.) of clicks reported by Adsense
    .

    At first I went to check adlogger and see there is several clicks so happily I right away login to my adsense account to see how much I earn that day but only to find it was zero......:eek:

    The reason I ask this is because I remember I saw a post stating that the adlogger has a bug that wrongly count the no. of clicks even you place your mouse on top of the adv or something. (I couldn't remember which post)

    So, I was wondering whether my case is like that or not.

    The problem with click tracking is that all the solutions depend on some JavaScript running in the browser to detect the clicks. But due to security features to prevent cross-site scripting attacks, some browsers (Firefox is the most prominent one) don't let these JavaScript scripts attach event handlers on the ads, which are served from a different site (Google). So all they can do is monitor mouse events within the area of the ad, so some of the clicks don't get tracked.

    Also, Google will discount clicks it thinks are invalid and so they may never show up in your stats.

    Not sure what you mean. Ad trackers are great tools to be used in conjunction with a good strategy for using custom & URL channels.

    I'll montior the adlogger for a period of time and see if it really helps or not.

    I'm afraid that if I set up some sort of max no. of clicks per user, it may only decrease my earning as it always count more than the actually clicking.

    Let's say the user wants to click the adv but adlogger already failed to detect it and thinks the user already click it 5 times, consequence is that he can't click at all.

    I was thinking on install AdLogger to see the most cliked advertiser and not to detect repeated clicks. Finally used another client script sending data go Google Analytics.
    That way I have detected and blocked the more clicked MFA sites and I've increased my earnings.
    Also now I can detect which search engines / referrals, etc. are sending traffic that reverts on more clicks. :)

    You may get it here

    Besides, I've sent an email to adsense google and reported the situation. Let's see how it turns out.

    I have problems with wrong count of clicks, adlogger reports more than google rewards me. but it might be due to the hover bug that people are talking about ?

    @adja52 would you be willing to share you custom click tracker code ?

    It might be the hover bug, yes, or it might simply be that Google has invalidated those clicks for some reason.

    @Eric I don't get many clicks on my site's ads :( so its pretty easy to track so far.

    The specific clicks where 45 minutes apart and from 2 entirely different IPs and 4 hours later adsense does not report any click !!!?

    Any work around or program that does not have this hover problem (cause I think it is the hover problem after all)

    I've a custom javascript based on the script you can get from: http://asp-net-whidbey.blogspot.com/2006/03/tracking-adsense-clicks-with-google.html
    There you'll find a guide to use with Google Analytics.

    NOTE: For me, it's tracking only aprox 70% of clicks reported by adsense. Please post your percentage here if you decided to install it too.
