I have just checked my Adsense stats (I check them every morning to see what yesterday's stats were like) and I have just found today 12 impressions and 100 clicks. Obviously this is invalid clicks. What do I do? Do I contact Google or do I wait for them to contact me? I've enclosed a picture. This was not me I'm not that stupid as to click on my own ads and I certainly would not do it 100 times!
hmm.. seems like you have problem totally opposite that of me :-D ... I get paid for no clicks sometimes.. thought it's very less like 5 cents to 10 cents !!
Yeah, Dean. Just send AdSense an e-mail and tell them you found some invalid clicks on your account and the rest should be history.
Just don't do nothing. You don't have to report anything to Google, it is their job. Personally, I never contact Google unless I have a question. Peace,
Go to adsense help and fill out the form, they will not do anything if you send an email. Changes are they already caught the problem because you show no earnings. If you really did nothing wrong, you will be fine. It happened to me and I filled out a support form and I got a respond that the problem was taken care of and I had nothing to worry about.
No need to contacted them as they already know that. Otherwise, you would have got some dollars reflecting on your stats. BTW, remove the CTR and eCPM on the attachment image before G finds it.
Thank you guys, I think to be on the safe side I shall contact them, I'm thinking it will look better if I report it rather than wait for them to contact me about it. The one thing I do not understand is that every time I place an ad on a site I use a channel so I'm not sure why the 100 clicks are not being listed next to the channel they came from.
Hey amol, Your problem is because you are showing pay per impression ads. These are very low paying as compared to PPC.
