    I looked today and i saw that i have 8 clicks and 0.07$. I don't have public ads on my web site.
    Should i report this one to Google just in case, and what should i write them.
    Most of my traffic was from google search engine.

    Thnaks you.

    It seems that Google says some were invalid clicks. This happens to me all the time... I am not sure if need to e-mail them, but if you have a low-traffic site, I would probably go ahead and do it.

    Thank you for you answer.
    Blog has around 300-500 page loads (150 uniques) daily.
    I will wait 1 more hour to look what others have to say and then decide.
    I would report it but not sure how to write it down for Google...

    If you know for sure you have invalid clicks, it's always a good idea to report them. Unless it's a very few and the rarely happens..

    I just had someone hit my ads 11 times today, I just installed ADLOGGER.
    How do you report the clicks? I thought adlogger BLOCKED invalid clicks? I have mine set to 2 per day?

    As you can see, with 8 clicks and 0.07 earnings, google has already tracked and found out they were invalid, no need to report it.

    Thank you guys/girls for your answers.
    I will report it just this time because now i have 1.10$ with 19 clicks which is poor for me.
    This things starts to happening since i started to getting much more visitors from search engines (Google):mad::confused:

    It might be worth reporting it to google if you have any future invalid clicks... If you write to them and explain the reason, for example if you accidentally clicked on one of your ads, then they will probably be happier and they are less likely to attempt to ban you if you were honest with them from the start, thats my experience anyway.

    Probably some n00b clicked on your ads 4-5 times in just a few seconds.
    Nothing to worry about, Google doesn't care for such a small number of clicks.
