Right, ive used adsense for a while now and earnings are pretty low - no surprise However after joining "my blog log" I have noticed that the clicks being picked up on that to external sites (including adsense) show otherwise. I would say in the last few days ive had 20+ clicks according to "my blog log" and 0 clicks on adsense?? Are google cheating me here?
who said having some on the right should be fine? you? I guess only you. and based on what? your feelings? you should put your adsense even more at the bottom of the page, or I have a better idea, create a page only for adsense and remove it from all your other pages, and then make sure you have no link going to that page. this way you'll get even less clicks and you can blame adsense for cheating you.
I should really drive to Ashford and give you a big greasy slap for that dire attempt at trying to think you know something about this topic Placed on the right, clearly labeled, not blended - policy states should be fine And for those of you that have more than 1 brain cell, im still registering clicks but not on adsense. I think I will email Google and wait 12 months for an answer
When you talk about 'registered clicks', are the logs showing that they are clicks out through adsense, or just site exits that you assume/hope would have a proportion of adsense clicks? There may be an underlying issue with one or other of the systems checking clicks - maybe google is disregarding clicks if the landing page does not fully load before the user closes the window or hits the back button. Maybe?
most likely the visitors in your site are people like us... usually prefer to exit your site through blogroll links and not adsense ads.
OK, so help yourself, you seem to know all there's to know about adsense placement. Obviously you don't want to improve your number of clicks, you're happy with 0, fine! As for the reported clicks in mybloglog they mean nothing! All tools for tracking clicks on adsense rely on mechanism that are not working exactly and will report clicks when the user is right clicking or sometimes simply over the ad. Plus adsense will automatically not count every clicks made on your ads, because of reasons they deem legitimate, but you have no control over that and for sure don't rely on click reports from somethign else than Adsense reports. They have it unfair maybe by controlling everything, but that's the game, you don't have to play it, and honestly by having your ad block where you've put it, you'd be better off without it.
ok let me clear up a few things: 1. The clicks are detected by "my blog log" which detects all* out going clicks - so it actually tells me number of adsense clicks or exits from the site to an adsense link. 2. Im getting around 5-10 clicks a day out of adsense but on my adsense panel I get 0 or if im lucky 1 or 2 a day. 3. I know about the "fraud" detection so obviously its not the same person every day clicking on my links unless its one of you 4. I have tested this myself on a friends computer, made a click through, and still it has not registered? It just seems strange.. @ wwwSENSERELYcom - I get plenty of clicks on other sites so don't really understand your point here
My point was only that your adsense is not well located at all to attract click, that was my only point which you dismissed. Now for mybloglog detecting all outgoing clicks I told you that it is not accurate with adsense. But since you clicked on your friend's computer and no click have been registered, check the adsense ID: pub-2296292651071314 there have been some cases of hackers changing the adsense id. Also how do you track the click in adsense? channel url? if only with regular channel, then once again make sure those are the ones you want: //2007-10-08: seo technology, search engine optimisation google_ad_channel = "2239815655+1932206371"; Other than that I don't see a reason. Also make sure
I've suspected the Adsense totals for a long time now and it always surprises me how people often blindly believe that Google can't be wrong. Why is that, I wonder? Because Google are such a big company perhaps? I don't accuse them of cheating but I do believe they could fall short of perfection. Here in the UK nearly all of our largest TV stations (including the BBC) have recently been exposed for running fake phone in contests that have netted them £millions. I think the OP is perfectly right to question his stats.
