google is eating away many clicks on my site

    I simply can't take it any more.

    I am looking at mybloglog statistics and they report all outgoing clicks. The count of adsense clicks there on mybloglog is always greater than from what i see in my adsense account.

    How can i report this to google?
    The clicks which are not showing up in my adsense account are actually clicks on different pages which means they were not repeated clicks by my website users.

    What can be done about this?

    It is impossible to accurately track adsense clicks, so don't pretend you, or mybloglog can. The capibility does not exist without altering the adsense code. The only accurate tracking is done by Google, and shows up in your account.

    So overall, don't worry about click #s not matching up, you can still use those stats to see other information, like which pages are getting the highest CTR.

    instead of complaining why not focus on using the tools/stats given by google to improve your CTR

    I have increased my CTR and also income. I am happy with that, however i thought mybloglog statistics are accurate. I have also seen several complains that google sometimes doesn't pay for all the clicks. So, all these things made me think that google is crediting correctly for all the clicks generated.

    you can't trust 3rd party statistics, google has it's reasons to take away your clicks if it does that (how do you know mybloglog is not adding clicks to your stats, as a webmaster I know that javascript is very unstable and inaccurate technology). If you think Google is cheating on you all you can do is start using other advertising network.

    I believe Mybloglog is far from being accurate.
    Actually Ypn count 1/10 of the clicks reported by Mybloglog.
    I do show ads only to USA people with geofilter, so I cannot believe ypn filters 90% of clicks.

    it's the tracking program that is misleading you, not adsense.
    why would you trust some piffy program over adsense?
