I run statcounter on my website, which is free (statcounter dot com) I am looking through the data, and it's become apparent to me that some of my visitors are leaving my site through google ads. I check my google adsense account, and i'm not being credited for these clicks, even though I have my statcounter telling me person x left the website through this link. And it gives a really long google adsense link.. What's the deal? I can provide screenshots if needed, but I don't want to go through pages of exit links to track down each adsenese click.. The statcounter clearly shows the page people came to visit (whether its the homepage or an article I wrote) It shows the exit page ( page people leave on, after reading a article, person X decides to leave on the page ) It shows the exit link (if person x clicked on any outside links, where did they leave to? did they continue to do more research about a topic? did they see an appealing ad and click on it?) Please Help

Its hard to say. I would not be shocked to find out that vaild click thru are not counted by Google for some tech reason. I do get click sometimes that pay zero which always makes me unhappy.
I have the same problem. I had more than 20 clicks in the last 24 hours (according to statcounter) and google showed 1 click and recieved 1 cent. All click came from different cities and 90% were from US
