ok so I started AdSense... just check my stats and I have 3 clicks but no money earned... i thought they pay per click??? help em out here..
The clicks could be on public service ad. They might not have any ads for your topic or ads are new and google has not shown any paid ads yet.
Give it some time they do pay but when you first sign up they want to give it a chance plus it takes some time for them to show you what you've earned its not real time.
ok well everything was reset last night to 0.... now this morning I have 1 click but it still says $0.00... is this normal in the beginning??? is there something I have to do before I will earn money???
I (almost)always supply an alternate URL in case the ads don't show, that way I at least get a chance to push an affiliate program.
I know what you mean but i still don't get how alternative URl work.. Do you give google the url to the page with only the Banner/Ads alone? or do you give them the html code?
congratulate, your first buck ya. keep it on, make in until 1000 per month. sometime adsense delay on updating, so stay tune.
To use alternate URL first you must create an empty html document: <html> <head><title></title></head> <body> </body> </html> Now whatever you place between the BODY tags will be displayed when there are no adsense ads. I usually just put a banner in there or leave it blank until I figure something else out. You can also put ad code in there from another network. Cheers. Pete.
ok is this normal???? today with adsense I have had 230 impressions and no clicks??? is this just he traffic I am getting??
here is what my Google AdSense thing says.. URL TAKEN OUT... how can I have 12 clicks total and not get any money??
Maybe those clicks were considered fraudulent. Things like this happen from time to time, you have nothing to worry about. Good luck!
