I use MyBlogLog tracking on my blog and for a while now, I've noticed that what MyBloglog is reporting as being clicked isn't necessarily what Adsense is reporting. For instance, as of today, MBL has reported that I've had 7 adsense clicks, also telling me what pages have been clicked. Adsense is insisting that I have 1 click. Now, I know MBL is fairly accurate. I've checked how many comments I've had today versus how many times MBL says I've had my "comment" button clicked, and they match up exactly. So why is my Adsense off by so much? Is it MBL or Google mis-reporting? Oh yeah, I've asked Google about it and they've told me that using software to track clicks is against their TOS.
MBL is reporting wrong most likely, I highly doubt its on-side for Adsense. You should track clicks with Google Analytics anyways.
Glad I found this, as I'm quite disturbed by some results I've been having with Adsense. On a new site of mine, after a nice stumbleupon spike in traffic, as I watched the pageviews and vistors climb from 50 to 100, 200, 300, 400 and so on, I also watched to see what else they were clicking. Naturally, out of this many people seeing the article that was stumbled, I noticed the adsense clicks going up. After over 500 visits in a couple of hours, mybloglog stats were reporting 38 clicks on the one adsense ad I have on the article. Guess what Adsense credited me with? 1 FRIGGIN' CLICK! This just happened yesterday, so I'm wondering what the deal is? Any thoughts would help. Just for a control measure, I made the same thing happen again today. With 400+ views of a different article, MBL was reporting 22 clicks on my adsens ad - which makes perfect sense, nothing abnormal about it. As of now, I haven't been credited with even ONE click. What the hell is up with that? Obviously, you can see that I've gone through stages of excitement, and rage...lol Thanks for your help...
I think mybloglog is reporting correctly. But there is a possibility that the user just recognized that he has clicked accidentally and presses ESCAPE, or something similar. But only 1 click reported out of 7, makes me think.
