How weird - the number of clicks increased, but the amount stayed the same - is this normal - will it catch up once verified or are they being discounted?
It is pretty normal and all of us experience it now and then. Your earnings depend more on the price per click, not that much on the number of clicks. Simply there are clicks that pay 1-2 cents and there are clicks that pay $3-4 or more. So you guess that having 100 clicks 2 cents each is less than having one click only that pays $3.
it's not happening here ... clicks are increasing, earnings are decreasing ... I dont understand ... maybe if I remove g's ads from all my sites and put them all late ;;
Well, I certainly don't think that removing the ads and putting them back later will solve the problem. Check how much you get per click (choose a couple of random clicks) and this will tell you if you are getting all the 2 cents clicks.
