Invalid clicks!

    Hello everyone, I have been using Adsense for four days now on my 13 days old site. Today, I noticed something weird. Usually, Adlogger over counts the no. of clicks but this time it's under counting for me or is it Google. Adlogger shows only 1 click but Google is reporting 5 clicks for $0.00. Is worthwhile to contact Google?

    It might be due to the fact that your adlogger has a different time zone to that of google and some clicks are noted on the same 24 hour cycle which is different to that of google.

    I don't know if 5 clicks are that important but if I was you I would just remove AdSense from the site for the time being. Not because of the small chance that you got a couple of bad clicks but because with 18 impressions / day on a 2-week old site, the risk of someone doing something stupid and getting your account banned it too high when compared with the kind of money you can hope to make from it. My suggestion is that you first build your traffic to around 500 hits a day before adding AdSense and even that might be too soon. Let's be honest. You won't make any money from AdSense unless you are generating thousands of impression daily.

    Just my 2c.

    I'd suggest just give it a few days. :) Might just be a small bug. ;)
