    I am tracking clicks. All IPs are from another continent.
    For these 6 valid clicks, Google has credited me only 3 times.

    how do you know they are clicking? google does not credit multiple clicks from the same IP in a given time frame, I believe.

    You are correct. There is a specific amount of time that must pass.

    Also an ad might not be a CPC ad. It might be a CPM ad. Any clicks on a CPM ad is worth nothing.

    Or it could have been clicks on a PSA

    It's a CPC ad for sure.

    It's not a PSA ad for sure.

    Right. Check the time stamps.

    Credits are from 3 different channels. So it must be a specific amount of time that must pass.

    Given that it's correct, I'm just glad that they are taking measures for their clicks. I think as most people grow their websites and content, it's going to be increasingly hard to micro manage the reports based on each specific page. If Google can take care of things, instead of banning accounts straight, it's good in the long term coz we know PPC will be around. I would still like to see higher earnings per click though :D
