    Ha, I got 1 click and didn't get paid for it. I hope they didn't filter it, because the site does have valid traffic, not a paid for type of popup hell traffic. That just puts all my trust into google. With the custom channels problems, and then the low paying clicks problems I have been having (smart price hell).

    Wednesday, December 19, 2007 164 2 $0.12
    Thursday, December 20, 2007 202 1 $0.00

    It's been getting steady traffic to it with a steady 0.3%-1% CTR. Which is normal for this type of website I have. I mean I don't expect a lot from it, but come on giving away free clicks. That is just bad!

    If it is a PSA why the are they showing it as a click? I thought they filter out the PSA clicks. Wait I have PSA turned off and just have it show a color google_alternate_color = "000000";. So, unless AdSense is ignoring my request not to show PSA.

    Yes, it is an Arcade site. I didn't expect lots from clicks from it. I just want to average 0.10 cents a day from it. So, I can at least renew the domain after a year.

    Well,

    Many can post about their negative experience with AdSense. From my point of view Adwords campaigns generate too many invalid clicks. It takes me too much time to filter the campaigns so they can bring decent ROI. In a highly competitive business like web hosting that means many hours spent... sometimes for nothing.

    Why don't you try contacting their very responsive and awesome Customer Support? Im sure you will get an answer saying "We detected some invalid clicks" or something bitchy and info less.
