Adword advertiser could set the minimum cpc to 1 cent. But that 1 cent is not what you get if people click the "1 cent cpc ad" on your page. You received the percentage of that "1 cent cpc ad". Perhaps google adsense give you only 30% of that "1 cent cpc ad". Then 2 clicks only worth 0.6 cent.
Dear StrongMinder, No need to worry, this happened to me a few times in the start. Yes it has happened for some of my sites, even 100 page impressions 5 clicks and still no earnings . Try to track the source of your traffic, using some third party software like Astracker or Adtrackz, this will help you in segregating the traffic.These softwares will give you all the detail of the page impressions and the clicks (even the IP) Regards Tehmina
My clicks have been high too, while the earnings from adsense has been very poor for the last few days
If you are not getting paid for a click, then this can have two reasons: The click was considered illegal (e.g. you clicked yourself or someone wanted to do you a favor by clicking lots of ads). You set up a policy for sites, that may use your publisher ID in the AdSense setup and a site, not enlisted there produced the clicks.
Chances are those clicks were illegal OR you are displaying PSA ads -- google "adsense stop words" to know more...

Can it be you are putting Link Unit? When a user click on the adsense link. It will brings the person to the related advertisements. Only when these advertisements are clicked. Then you will earn your part of revenue...
when did you put your adsense code up? are you getting related ads or PSA? if related ads, then those clicks must be invalid clicks
It may be illegal clicks. if some one click but not completed in process means half page open and close that page also.
