    Hello and thanks for reading this post.
    My deal is I am getting over 30 clicks per day and one phone call, as before I would get 15 clicks and get 2 to 3 calls a day. Seems like some one is clicking on my ads I have tried to set up a tracker but it is not working. Google sucks in explaining things on this. So if any one has the time to help me it would be greatly appreciated. Or if You may know another way to track who clicks my ads.

    Did you try Google analytics?

    In adwords just see the "Reporting and Tools" tab - in that you will find Google analytics - try it.

    hope this helps...

    I found the place but I am new to this stuff and do not know how to set it up correctly I guess. Is there a place that I can find step by step instructions.

    Mike,

    I'd recommend using Statcounter as your analytics package. It is easy to drill down to individual visitors. Put tracking code on your ads such ?S=Adwords and you'll easily spot the Adwords visitors.

    Thank You for this site, it is very easy to use and seems with the counter I have had less clicks today. Which will more than likely mean money saved. Thank You again

    Not mention Google placed my ads on some sites that are just pages of sponsored ads, and the clicks are just to landing page and no farther. Now I know. Thanks again.
