    :mad:Adsense Clicks on Statcounter Visitor Reporting Differs from Adsense Clicks In Adsense Reports.
    Where are 6 Clicks Gone. Why Adsense not to count those clicks?

    See 2 Images Below. For complete explanation.


    Image-1 Stat Counter Exit Link Report for Blog-1(1 to 13 Nov 2011)
    This Report Show me 8 Clicks on Ads. On BLOG-1
    download (1).jpg

    Image-2 Adsense Account Report for URL-Channel= Blog-1 (1 to 13 Nov 2011)
    This Report Show Me 2 Clicks on Ads. On BLOG-1
    download (2).jpg

    This is not first time I am to view this difference but this time this looks bigger to me in these numbers. 8-2

    Any other out there facing this?

    Any Adsense Experts who can say why this happens.

    Don't have solid reason to say but this looks like Advertisers are charged but we are not paid for these disappearing clicks.

    The clicks will not be counted if adsense consider them as invalid click

    Advertisers are automatically refunded in their AdWords account if clicks are detected as invalid (e.g. you are clicking the ads, your friends are clicking repeatedly or your users have abnormal click behavior suggesting that you have encouraged or incentivized them to click). Google have a pretty advanced system to detect invalid clicks and will do whatever they can to protect the advertiser (who's paying for the party). ;)

    Statcounter can not track adsense clicks. Those clicks never happened to begin with.:p

    I agree. And as others have said, any invalid clicks will not be counted.

    If you have colleagues or families who click on your adsense ads, you better ask them to stop doing that. Otherwise, you will be the next person on Google's Banned list.

    Adsense pays you, so only clicks counted by adsense are valid, don't look at any other source, you're wasting your time!

    None of my friend of family member know about my online activities. When Adsense is whole to decide what are those invalid clicks. This blog have all organic traffic from Google.com no other SEO or linkbuilding done. Never to ask friends or anyone to even visit my webs or blogs.

    What are invalid clicks ? FYI use statcounter at first then say it track the Adsense clicks or not. For sure this do track. As Adsense final script makes the Ads a part of my webpage so any click activity on my page will be countable in Statcounter.com

    No nothing like that. M not that new to adsense who going to ask friends, family and others to help me. I know SEO and I love organic traffic from google.com, yahoo.com, bing.com and other search engines. I never even to buy the traffic for my any webs.

    In your screenshot, I see two clicks on the same second.. Well do you expect two valid clicks counted by adsense?
    I don't think so.

    So we can assume statcount is not reliable, and there's no reason to think it is reliable, because as I said earlier, the only clicks that are valid are those that are considered valid by adsense, end of story really. Is it wrong? It's not the question.
