    Hey everyone,

    So one of my blogs had 14 Adsense clicks yesterday and Google didn't give me $.01 or even credit for any of them. (This is according to MyBlogLog stats) How could they possibly decide that those 14 clicks were not legit?

    How exactly does that work? It's a little frustrating...:mad:

    Reported clicks with no money are usually clicks that they have determined to be "invalid".

    If I were you, I would be concerned about where they came from and take steps to correct the problem.

    Else, you may get banned.

    I had another 9 clicks today. When is Google going to start giving me credit for these? I guess I'm not sure why any click on these would be considered invalid. It's not me clicking on them and it's not any of my friends. It's people visiting my site...how can that be anything BUT valid?

    could be people clicking on PSA ads... or perhaps from behind proxies.

    Those clicks were counted as invalid clicks.

    I had someone click some google ads (the web-designer!) and google contacted me straight away. I realised what had happened (you'd have thought he'd have known) told him not to do it again and replied to google (almost immediately) and explained. They were fine about it. That was about 18 months ago, my account was very new - maybe they have changed their procedure. Are they PS ads? Have you contacted google about it?

    Google does not act stupid w/o any reason..there must be something wrong with your source of clicks..
