Okay let me write this right, these 3 days i'm facing some troubles with my adsense acc. The day before yesterday it was the first day that i faced problems with my adsense account for the first time, on that day my stats didn't move for a long time. One day later on my performance reports page was a message from adsense saying "We're sorry, some data in this report is delayed, please try again later. There's no impact to ad serving or payments." And that day i had 400pageviews and 6 clicks, later i saw a decreasing on my pageviews from 400 to 215! also one click was removed, that message later was gone but nothing changed to my earnings. Today everything seemed to be fine but now i see that i had 542 Pageviews and 3 clicks, from which one of them is from portugal and pays 16cents, but two others are from U.S and pays 5.47eur which i don't think it's something normal, i never used to get paid this good before, i thought it might be an invalid click but it's been more than 3hours and google still didn't remove it. I run a tumblr blog with gif/pic (not adult) and this is the place where i've put my ads! Also one on the top wich i don't think that violates anything because i saw almost every website has that on top but about this on my bottom next to pagination i doubt! It's been 6 months i do this and never had any problem but these 3days i feel something isn't right! Are those clicks real but it's just i got paid good enough? and i should be happy and not to worry or i should report to google? This is my report for today! Please i need some advices, maybe im just exaggerating and i'm worrying to much for nothing, but i really want to be a decent publisher and i don't want to have problems with google, i've chosen Dp because i browse for a long time here and i've seen almost every person tried to help someone else. Thank you! p.s and how can i know if there is an invalid click? does google remove it or i just get banned?
I think you are worried a lot. This is normal. If you see huge spike in clicks, then those are mostly invalid clicks. Learn more here : http://adsense.blogspot.in/2011/11/top-5-things-you-should-know-about.html
Thank you very much for your reply sir! I knew i was too worried but i'm scared i could lose my account. May i ask you about the placement where i've put my ads? Is that bad? because i've seen too many blogs(not just tumblr) and websites that use even hotter places to put theirs ads and don't get ban!
and I would like to add that don't put your CTR and CPC in public it's agains Adsense policy... you can show others but hide those important info that Adsense told you not to disclose .... and CTR and CPC are part of those!.... and you don't have to worry those spikes happens and the placement is perfect as well... cheers
