Hi. I just signed up with AdSense 2 days ago. I've already had 70+ page impressions and 6 clicks and 3 search queries but I'm not showing any money yet. Can someone tell me if I'm doing something incorrectly, please. I've got ads placed on the following pages: huntercreativegroup.com (just index page) 33skiptracesecrets.com (just index page) and I'd like to place more ads on but, considering it's not working, should figure this out first, I guess. Any help would be great - Thank you!
Clicks and no earnings means those clicks were determined to be invalid. If you have a friend that might be clicking to "help" you, tell him to cut it out. Also, you don't get paid for search queries, only clicks on the ads on the search result page.
Thanks, Nonny. I'm curious though because I haven't talked to anyone about my site for over a month - let alone told anyone I was going to place ads (I, myself, just decided to do it a couple nights ago). So, how come they would be considered invalid? I don't understand why they wouldn't count. Can you tell if I've done something wrong on either of the 2 pages?
i hope you are not clicking those ads and thinking that Google don't know that you are clicking own ads.
Ok, I'll admit that I clicked on 2 ads when I originally set them up but I got out immediately. I only did it because they weren't showing correctly (the ads seemed to come and go and I wanted to make sure I had set them up correctly and that they were working properly). However, once they were all showing, I did not do it again - and I won't do it again. BUT ... I'm still not sure if they're set up properly and I've tried avoiding my webpage all together and not even visit it. I definitely did NOT click on them 6 times so why would the others be considered invalid? What are the other reasons that the rest would be considered invalid? And, where do I self-report for those couple of clicks, I haven't come across how to contact google for this ?
Ok, so I added some new ads to a different site .. I'm still not able to see that I've added anything. I don't get it ... are they supposed to take awhile to load? The first one I did was immediate - how come?
Few key things which might be useful if you are not aware 1. You can not put more than three ads. Even if you put more than three Ads than Adsense will pick only three places and show the ads. 2. I believe it's not just pay per click. For example, sometime if someone clicks an ads and exit immediately then google might not pay for that. 3. Google Adsense takes some time to understand the content of the page and gather the ads related to the page. That might be the one reason for delay.
Log into your adsense account. Then go to Adsense Setup > Allowed Sites Check to see if your domains have been added to the Allowed Sites list. I suspect that is the problem you are not making money despite getting visitors and clicks.
