    I wanted to start a thread about this issue because it is greatly making me angry. I decided to just get everyone's thoughts on what is wrong. I have a pr 4 site located at www.link-monkeys.com. This site is over a year old, and I get an average of 179 visits a day. But despite this, when I check my adsense, it shows the site only has 3 page impressions!:mad: What is wrong? I have new sites getting only 50 visitors a day that are getting numerous clicks. Why can't I get this site to get more clicks? I've tried putting two google ads on each page but it still hasn't improved.

    It means your stats are wrong. No visitors = less/no clicks.

    syed123 you use awstats? I use stat counter to check my visitors. I don't know how accurate the program is but I would assume that it is accurate. The guy I purchased the site from has it through homestead and he told me his homestead traffic stats were wrong to. I don't get it. I really need this site to contribute to my income. I purchased it for that reason but other than text links and a few other things it hasn't paid off much.

    statscounter is more accurate, it counts page views only, not hotlinked files.

    Well, if stat counter is accurate, it shows I get 146 page loads on average. I still don't understand how I get 0 adsense clicks day in and day out despite having two ads on each page. It almost defies logic.

    Statscounter is very accurate, it doesn't "defy logic" to have no clicks from only 146 page loads. Maybe your visitors are not targeted enough?

    The website is about traffic and link building. I just took a look at the ads and yes they are targeted. I just find it interesting how old this site is, how much traffic it gets. Here are my stats from stat counter:

    Average Pageloads: 158
    Unique Visitors:133
    First Time Visitors:101
    Returning Visitors:32

    As you can see, that is a nice amount of traffic. As I said earlier, I have new sites getting 50 visitors a day who get clicks. Yet this one year old site gets no clicks on a day to day basis. I see a problem with that. It does "defy logic". What kind of a site gets this much traffic with no adsense clicks or page impressions when it has two Google ads per page?
