I dont know if the problem is from adsense or from statcounter..... I have statcounter in my site , it showed that i had 17 clicks yesterday although i had only one click in google adsense from that site.
Just wait a few hours. I experience similar things from time to time. Having 3 clicks but no revenue. Then, a few hours later, the revenue is updated.
Sometimes clicks are discredited if the 'Clicking User' doesn't navigate deep enough or stay long enough on the destination page.
I frequently see a discrepancy between statcounter and what shows with adsense, although not usually that many. Still, you will often see clicks on statcounter that google didn't count since the person didn't stay on the website long enough or it is determined to be an invalid click. And sometimes you get clicks that don't show up in statcounter too, so it goes both ways.
but i counted the clicks in stat counter they are 75 clicks although i got only 22 but i think it dont count because most of my vistors are children.... They dont stay less than 3-4 minutes in my site but about 60% of them stays in the same page till they close the page. the problem of children which i face too is that i dont know which colors, sizes and places i should choose for my adsense, Sure they dont think like us....
In fact quite normal, depending on what type of Website,Class sites, such as games, it may not adsense show 1000 one-click
i think why google do that is that google consider the other 16 clicks as unreal clicks might be accidental clicks it happens to many publishers..
I believe that there is a discrepancy with statcounter and google since google may have determined that some of the clicks have been invalid for several reasons that they determine. Usually clicks from search engine spiders.... But google's system usually takes awhile to show up in the reports....
Google does not pay or count every click. It only counts the click which Google algorithm determines as legitimate click. Again, sometime Google does not give credit for clicks which came through referral sites. It gives high priority for searches which came from search engines.
