    I have checked adwords, and i have some stats, and am confused by some stats, can some of you adword experts give some explanation...

    Content- off 34 clicks

    (My content ads are OFF, just Google search ads are setup)

    I have 34 clicks.......but from real keyword clicks it shows just 10, (the stats show 10 clicks for the keywords, 3, 4, 2 and 1 = 10.....NOT 34...so why is there extra 24 clicks? (34-10 = 24) ?

    a)so where a have the remaining 24 clicks come from? - what is the usual reason for this?

    b) Why are the stats showing 24 click for content OFF ?

    so do you use content network sites to display your ads? or Just on the Google search?




    Heres an example of a site my ad was on (i tracked the url)

    http://www.smarter.com/se--qq-grants+for+housing.html

    Why was my adwords ads showing there, when content ads are switched off?
    (These ads point to a squeeze page)

    May be your ads are running even before your settings were saved.....

    If you are getting the clicks from content the next day after you changed the settings..... you should be worried... else don't care much :)

    Are you sure you are looking at data during a time period the content network was off? Many people log into their accounts and the time period is "this month". Well, if the content was on earlier this month, you'll see clicks that occurred at that time. This is a common mistake many people make.
