    Hi Guys,

    I am new to adsense but I noticed something odd today. On a channel of mine it shows a single click (1) but $0.00 in revenue. What Gives?

    That could be due to invalid clicks which do not earn any $$$!

    It could be that you or someone else might have clicked the ad from your computer by mistake... or reports might be slow..

    Would that be my computer in particular or any of the computers that other people may use on my network (same internet connection)?

    No, however I have realised that people within the organisation (who use the homepage) may well have done. Is there anyway to block the ads from being viewed internally without major modifications?
