This doesnt look right to me? I should be getting paid right now. Page Clicks Page CTR Page eCPM Earnings 1,709 22 1.29% $2.09 $3.57 yesterday 3,391 132 3.89% $2.58 $8.73 today Anyway to prevent this from happening.
Your clicks increased but also did your traffic...I'm not sure if you were click bombed, probably not.
Im trying to figure out how my click thru rate went up and my earnings didnt. Im getting 7 cents right now. I often have 15-30 clicks for $3.00-6.00 with lower click thru rates. Sometimes I average 20 cents and up for each click. With higher CTR I should have higher earnings. Im going to update my black listed ads. Click bomb is that a deliberate attempt to screw my google account up? Its up more now. 3,498 135 3.86% $2.63 $9.19
I see this a lot on my sites. I think it is mostly due to whatever niche you are in is getting a lot of traffic today and burning though the more expensive ads. Not much you can do about it.
I was thinking it was invalid clicks. I noticed the last few clicks bump it up over 11 bucks. I never had more then 35 clicks. So to be at 150 is new to me. It had to do with my ad placement too, since it was always the highest paying ad. Its the text links that I normaly get pennys for. But I think everything is fine.
analyze your site stat/analytics and see if you find anything funny. any reason for sudden spike in traffic? maybe one oif your article was made popular?
I don't think those were invalid clicks, maybe your site's visitors who click on the ads are not converting well for the advertisers.
I view all my stats daily, so i knew why the spike in the traffic. Mainly a site linked to me and gave me a extra 1200 hits. I just never had that high of a ctr and at first 130 clicks 8 bucks? wtf.. It ended right under 18 with 154 clicks so it did inflate per click as the day ended. the way they calculate its constantly adjusting and made it seem like a large amount of clicks werent counted or I was getting 5 cents a click.
