    I believe they count all clicks - after all, if they didn't that would be no better than stealing from their publishers. However, I think they deduct clicks which are suspicious.

    So the answer is: Yes, they count all clicks, but No, they don't pay for all of them.

    Yes, they are able to count all clicks. But they don't pay for each and every click, but most of the clicks.

    Adsense is the middle man between publishers and advertisers, they need to be very accurate and THEY ARE.

    In fact i do not know but I guess they do not count all the clicks coz some clicks might be generating from same place continuously.

    They do count all but they don't give you anything for invalid clicks.

    They count each and every clicks even your own too. They does not give any idea of invalid clicks.

    If you click on your own ads, bye bye adsense. They should just not count them but no, they have to ban you too

    I have already debated over this earlier, However to support my vote here, I am enclosing the google's official response to my mail regarding this.

    I voted for that google counted every click (and show in report) even if it's invalid.

    Reps appreciated

    Adsense counts each click, even the illegal ones (counting clicks and paying for each click is done automatically), in case there was an illegal activity, the activity will be checked and an action will be taken, but basically the clicks are counted.

    That is what most of us are saying. Google counts each clicks except those which are not valid. Two ways of saying same thing :D

    You're wrong, they do count them, though they won't pay for those.
    And once they get tired with counting them, they'll eventually ban your account.

    Please stop bringing this issue up. I have seen this asked many times since these adsense tracking programs came out. It is IMPOSSIBLE to track adsense accurately with ANY of the tracking code. Netscape based browsers (firefox) do NOT allow any accurate tracking to occur. They do not allow the javascript onclick method to be called for the adsense code, so tracking programs must guess at when someone clicks. Most tracking programs guess that, if you have your mouse over an ad, and you leave the page, that would be a click. This is easily a serious flaw if anyone uses keyboard shortcuts to leave a page (Alt f4 or Alt <-). Also, for internet explorer browsers, the onclick event is not as accurate as you might think. The onClick method is called if you click and release off of the ad, but you will not be taken to the ad page if this happens. There are other flaws that I don't really have time to go into right now, but basically, you can see almost everyone who clicks your ads by using a stat tracker. You also see many people who did NOT click the ads, so stat trackers overestimate clicks. Okay I'm done with my rant =P.

    My point was that stat trackers are not accurate.
