Not sure if Adsense is working

    I am new to Adsense and the ads are showing up on my site. But I haven't got a single click. I know I'm not supposed to click on them, but is there anyway to verify they're working? I've gotten nearly 800 page views this week, but no clicks.

    800 page views per week are nothing to get clicked, plus there are many other factors involved with how you display ads, their positions, title colors nd stuff which all adds up to clicks...

    You can't click on them, but they're working for sure. If you got no click it's probably because your traffic is not good and/or your ad placement is terrible (very low CTR)

    The site I'm referring to is in my signature. Right now, I have one leaderboard ad and one ad in the sidebar. Over half my traffic was from search engine, with 4 pageviews per visit on average. Maybe they are working and just not getting clicks. Anyone got any advice on ad placement? Thanks

    YOu can put a text ad in the posts. A big one of size 300*250 or 336 one at the top of each post.
    Try different placements and see which works best for you.

    Ok I see its working. So far my CTR sucks. Gonna focus on adding lots more content, and maybe play around with my ad placement. Thanks everyone
