    The clicks were likely considered invalid. Man if I had a nickel for every WTF post about x clicks and 0 dollars I could retire.

    Well, let him ask buddy. He must be a newbie :)

    To answer your questions, they are invalid clicks determined by Google adsense system. Don't bother too much until you have been click bombed.

    Do you use allowed site feature in Google Adsense ? If so, please remember to include your new sites in that.

    Yep, invalid clicks so you get nothing. It was proablly a bot or something. I see this sometimes so I know how you feel.

    this happens sometime...

    They are either invalid clicks or advertiser got banned immediately after you received clicks for his site

    I can understand that you haven't got any cents for 4 clicks. There can be certain reason but have you got anything in CPM?

    There are cases that many webmasters want their ads to be as CPM so even anyone click that adv. it will not be calculated as CPC but rather as CPM.

    If you haven't even got any CPM then it might be the case that adsense team might have been experimenting so that everything is fine. In such case you will not get anything.

    But if these are even not the case then its out of reach to conclude. Clicking your own ads wouldn't get you any problem on the spot and it will show you at the end of month.

    If they arent invalid, you'd write to google! Probably best to email though.

    Totally absurd to make any conclusions from 4 clicks (especially your own) :)
    Statistics starts from about 10000 hits or 1000 clicks...

    4 clicks on your site? but zero clicks on your ad? thats pretty normal isnt it? unless you're clicking on your own ad.. . if that's the case you wouldnt want to say that to adsense unless you want to get banned.
