Hello everyone, I am in spite of everything pretty satisfied about my earnings even is not more than 3 bucks a month but today one thing took my attention. I have received the first 2 clicks of the day but with 0 earnings, not even 0.01 cent. The CTR for these 2 clicks is 6,90% something very high for what I am used to see. Is there a logical reason why 2 clicks received no earnings? Thanks in advanced. Fred
No, they were most likely valid clicks...even Google isn't that fast. Most likely they were non paid ads. When google can't figure out what ad to use on a post they will use charity ads ...you will not get paid for them but the clicks will still show.
Thank you both for the answer. I just first thought about charity ads but I always use travel and tourism ads so I don´t think this could be one of those. About invalid clicks, impossible since I am the only owner of my account and I never click on them.
They could be "bounce" clicks. This is caused when the clicker either hits the back button immediately after the click, or closes the browser window.
Thanks SearchBliss, that makes much sense to me. This is the first time at least I realize this can happen and was concerned. Two clicks and no earnings and once, last month I received one click for 0.25 cents.
Sometimes you just get public service ads and even on a travel site I have I see than sometimes. Don't worry about the few clicks you don't get paid for, just go out and get more traffic and backlinks. Alan
Thanks Alanl; for my joy every month I increase my visitors in about 5% and I am working on everything else.
If this would be fraud clicks as you think, can you explain who clicked on them if it was not me the only owner of this account? Can a bot click on the ads?
I'm not sure though. But as long as these unpaid clicks are very few then just focus on improving traffic to earn more.
