Got a click, but no idea where it came from?

    Hi there guys,
    I noticed I got a clicked today, but no idea where it came from? (the click was worth 0.50 something cents)

    All my sites have at least ONE channel..... this is not showing up anywhere in my channels.

    How should I continue? Wait and see if it happens more, or just report it?

    The only reasons I noticed it was because most of my earnings come in the afternoon/evening... so it's easy to spot clicks when there isn't many :)

    Ahahah I got one as well this morning, 0 views and a 0.48$ click. Guess they forgot to give me some pennies at one point :p.

    lol.

    That's not exactly what I meant :D

    When I added up my clicks (16) there was 0.50 something that didn't show up ANYWHERE in my channels... =\ I emailed them anyways, all my sites have channels... so it's weird...

    Oh... Could of been :) Wouldn't it still show up in a channel?

    I just track my clicks closely, nothing like this has happened before, so just made me wonder

    Sound goods for me about Google Cache clicks.

    Is it possible that someone use your code and got a click from his site? (Just want to know about this.:))

    I haven't heard anything back from adsense... not even the standard one you get when you email them saying they will email you back :(

    Bad sign?

    That's a possibility, but I'm not sure why anyone would. If there were a LOT of clicks then it could be someone trying to get him in trouble. I guess the other way would be if someone swiped a few pages from the site to put on his own and the guy didn't remove the adsense for some reason. My bet is on cache, though since it was an isolated incident. I've gotten a few like that in the past and that's how I've chalked them up.

    Happened to me before. I deleted a channel but the code associated to that particular channel was still on one of my pages. That's why.

    I've actually recieved about 20k impressions over a couple months from somewhere I didn't know about. Too bad I only got just a couple clicks.

    People have gotten banned for less then this... :eek:

    At least they have it noted I contacted them when it first started to happen... hopefully that's worth something in G's eyes.
