I've heard that it is because of some invalid clicks.. But the funny thing is.. I'm not using adsense anymore for almost 6 months now but I still have almost $80 there.. How come it took them 6 months to figure out that my account have invalid clicks and they need to deduct it without us publishers having any notification on why they need to do it? That is pretty lame rule imo. Oh well I'm earning big on other program now and I feel sorry for those publishers who are working hard using adsense and the adsense team will just deduct almost half of their income just like that w/out any explanation.. Goodluck with that!
There is reporting problem with adsense. If you login to your adsense then there is a notice stating that "Our engineers will work on site maintenance on sep 11 etc", once they finish their work, it'll b okay again
Sometimes systems mess up.. It is not going to be 100% reliable, nothing is that reliable. I am also satisfied and absolutely love Adsense and I like the program because it provides an opportunity to publishers that are willing to make money online.
Recently I have seen too many maintainence notice on adsense. I think adsense's interface will be changed just like they have changes the interface of google translator.
there millions of adsense publisher with millions of accounts, the invalid click occur 6 months ago and the red flag went up 6 months ago and google's system detected this all, but it took 6 month for the adsense team to get to your account reviewed amongst the millions who also got red flags.
You still have adsense ads in your site. And visitors may always click the same ads in one and that's the possible reason why adsense team consider this as invalid clicks.
Adsense is now showing correct total amount of earning since last payment. The problem is just a system glitch. I just hope next time that they put atleast a notification on adsense account page so everything would be clear. Mods pls. close this thread. Thanks!
It could be the temporary problem of the system. These days we are facing many problems. Wait for some days and then send email to google adsense team regarding your payment deduction.
