    Sarcasm in the title if you couldn't tell.

    I got a click, and no earnings. Any thoughts? I don't think that's how it's supposed to work.

    It was either a click on a public social ad (you don't get any money for them as far as I know) or it was an invalid click which means they think you clicked on one of your own ads.

    I don't think that it was an invalid click, cause the staff check if you've got invalid clicks just when you get close to order for your cheque.

    It was proabably a public service ad since adsense couldn't find any related content ads at the time, It does this occasionaly, at least you've tracked it though shows that next time someone clicks, you should get paid for it

    Because I'm an amateur and I only get about 350 Pageviews per day, and only about 2 clicks.

    Just beware of clicking your own page's adsense. A guy I know was banned for doing it.
