Is Adlogger anywhere near accurate?

    Hello,
    I installed the adlogger on my server about an hour ago and according to the the script I am averaging 1.81 clicks per user as well as multiple users with 5-8 clicks. I have seen the mention of the ghost clicks with adlogger before. Is this normal or should I worry about this and start blocking people left and right?

    Help would be really appreciated

    Wow! That's a lot of clicking! I would be concerned and at least look into which countries these clicks are coming from.

    I have found it to be pretty accurate, so I would be concerned.

    It is not accurate I get around 1 or 2 clicks daily in official adsense report whereas adsense shows more than 10 clicks daily

    Just go through this official FAQ

    hmm... what to do ... what to do... the clicks were as follows for the ones that had very multiple clicks:

    the one with 13 clicks - Philippines
    11 clicks - AU
    8 clicks - UK

    I am not going to do anything but chance the maximum of 2 clicks per visitor per hour, even though I do not see how it could control that, but we'll pretend, hopefully this will not mess up all my site activity of 3500+clicks/day

    Any other ideas very welcome

    Get in contact with Google asap and give them a detailed web stat. Your daily clicks seems to be abnormally high. If you've not been receiving this type of click rate and got payment from your AdSense before, the chance of getting the infamous suspension email when your account reach $100 is high. Good luck.

    : ) thanks for the concern, but I have been getting over $150 a day from google for a while now, and have been always contacting them about various issues and have been getting paid by them for a year and a half now, so hopefully there wont be any trouble. I still think its issue with adlogger though, might have to implement their script for where you can disable ads once they click once

    regards

    Well most of webmaster not happy with Adlogger's accuracy. Sometimes they show more clicks than your Google Adesense report.

    I somewhat noticed that, sometimes they report same click the same second. But overall still a good tool as far as finding out target URL's and such.

    Adlogger counts overmouse in Firefox(tested) and it is not very accurate, but as a protection tool almost all of us use it

    Adlogger was kind of hit and miss for me. I'd get some bizarre stuff sometimes. I don't use it anymore.

    Hmm for me its not been so good. Around 40 clicks (from adlogger) but adsense has only tracked 20 :(

    I'm guessin its the firefox mouseover thing which causes problems.
