Is asrep accurate or half my clicks invalid?

    Using the trial version of it, how accurate is this script?

    Why is it reporting twice as much clicks as adsense is reporting?
    Are half of the clicks invalid? :confused:
    This was for yesterday so I think the stats are all updated already too.

    Seems pretty accurate for me. However - note that you can configure the timezone asrep uses, perhaps it is not set to the same zone as google uses and therefor it might show more clicks, because the measured period is longer.

    Also I've noticed that it counts click for adlinks, where you only get paid if the visitor clicks and then clicks once more on an ad.

    also, there is a thing that is called "Unverified Click", i.e. if someone uses the right mouse Button on an Adsense Ad, asrep can only register this click. The User gets a popup menu, where he can decide to open, open in a new window, cancel etc. AsRep cannot track the action a user chooses from this context menu, so some of the unverified clicks will not lead to real clicks.

    Most of the time asRep tracking is pretty accurate.
    btw, I love asRep, it helped me optimizing my site a great deal, even the freeware version. The full version helped me even more, so if you are starting to make some money, you should consider purchasing the full version.
    It really helps you to understand what is going on at your site(s)

    Yes, it looks very promising. I just found another program, adsensetracking.com

    Looking into it now. Thanks.

    I bought the full version myself too, provides you with lots of good info (and realtime!), such as what types of ads the visitor clicks, where they where referred from, what ad they clicked etc. Lots of helpful data.

    Also it helps with the "adsense is not updating" panic, you continue to see clicks :)

    Are you suppose to put the asrep code in the header?
    Why is it counting twice the amount of everything? (page views, ad units, clicks)

    I paid for this app... I like it so far it has worked for me. I see what pages are doing best and I stock up on those subjects or work on promoting those pages. I also spent a little time with experimenting with adsense ads on these pages. In all cases I was able to increase revenue because of this app.

    What's the difference between verified clicks and unverified clicks in asrep?
