I am running a humble niche blog and run a few adsense ads. I recently added the Mybloglog code and have noticed something rather disparaging. Mybloglog records adsense clicks and will often report to me that I have had 4-10 ad clicks, but then if I check my actually adsense report I'll only be credited with 1-2 or maybe even ZERO clicks. WTF is going on here? Is google ripping me off? Is Mybloglog innacurate? Anybody else notice this?
Yes this is a double post but you'll have to forgive me. I actaully found my own answer and thought I'd post it here incase anyone else with the same problem one day finds this post: Try this: Check your mybloglog for how many adsense clicks you have, then come back to your site, let your mouse hover over one of your adsense ads, then click backspace, or somehow use your keyboard to navigate away from the page. DONT CLICK THE AD. After you’ve navigated away, check your mybloglog and you’ll have another adsense click. Mybloglog determines clicks based on where the pointer is as the browser navigates away from the page.
Ah... this one's very helpful. I've always wondered why i was lacking a few hundred or so clicks a day in my adsense account.
ye it does happen with other click tracking programs, they show more clicks then that are in adsense account but i really can't figure it out why that is so
