    Guys can anybody of you explain this


    I've opened adsense account recently , after 2 days my account show about 200 impressions but no clicks was made , It was quite strange for me so I asked my friends ( 3 different person in different countries )to click on my ads ( they clicked only once ) so it might show at least 3 clicks made but my adsense account still show no Clicks .

    Why ?

    Please let me know why

    you do know that google has a system that knows you're in touch with those friends via your email account or IP, and you might get in trouble for doing that now?

    "Google spy system"? That's exaggeration :). But that's really strange, something doesn't work properly. But in my opinion you should wait a few days with the verdict.

    Ahh dont worry they are trying to trick you...... they don't have a spy system. Just don't ask ppl to click on your ads.

    Perhaps they were counted as invalid clicks.

    Not a spy system (that we know of lol) but consider that perhaps they left a traceable signature. Showed up via direct link and immediately clicked an ad. I'm sure that's in google's suspicion algorithms somewhere.

    Yup, but I don't think that ~3 clicks can be taken as a fraud.

    Very true...at what magic number does it become fraud? Reminds me of a story of this woman who agreed to sleep with a guy for $10,000. At some point the offer became a mere $20. She asked "What do you think I am???" The response. "We've established that, already, now we're just arguing over the price." Same here. It's fraud regardless, now we just don't know at what point your butt gets TOSsed.

    What you should have said is that you told your friends that you put up adsense ads and that they should check out any interesting offers :)
    But even that can be taken as fraud by google.

    Oh really? So if I go into a store and just take 3 (heck, what if i just take ONE) candy bar without paying, it ISN'T stealing? Since you know, I only took ONE candy bar. What magical number qualifies as "fraud" to you, pray tell?

    P.S. rentdn, so you told three friends in three different countries to click on your ads BUT JUST ONCE(!) as a test? Hmm, seems to me like you've put a lot of thought into how to cheat the Adsense system, otherwise you wouldn't have been so elaborate about your "test". :rolleyes: e

    Theft is theft; there's no number that can justify stealing.

    1 Candy vs. 1,000,000 Candies are the same thing at the end of the day.

    Yes a mill might be a LOT more than one, but the principle is the same.

    M8 I do not want to make fraud clicks , I just want to ensure that system works normally . I've asked my friends to clicks just for TEST , cause my goal is not to earn some cents :)

    Though I can say 100% that google cannot track these as fraud ( I agree that it's fraud , but google cannot track it , no way ). As I live in Armenia , and clicks was made from 1 click from USA , Second Germany and 3-rd from Canada , I've spent about 10$ to call my friends lol.I'm not the idiot who'll do anything to get banned for some cents , I just want to know why it does not count my clicks , because it was strange to me that I'm gettin 200 impressions and no clicks .

    Probably I must wait ?

    Thanks for comment guys

    200 impresions is nothing i had once 500 impresions and only 2 clicks so you have to wait for more traffic. On the other hand no matter if you just wanted to test the system , the advertisers would have paid those click if they were counted.

    I dont think google adsense could detect it, even though wat he did was wrong,
    But anyways, I believe that your friends might not have clicked the ads properly ! If ur really sure they did, try waiting for sometime, coz google takes some time to update earnings.
    (There is no need to "test" google adsense, for its been working for us all !! Let's hope there is no 'google spy' in DP, otherwise ur doomed ! lol.)
