Strange thing, possible glitch?

    Just checked my account a few hour ago and noticed a strange thing.
    I had 25 clicks and X ammount...
    I check the channels ( i've all my ads with channel, no exception ) and there was only 17 clicks all together making the X ammount.

    I waited 2 hours and now it's the same...
    I checked and i've 29 clicks and only 21 in the channels, the same 8 misterious clicks are still there...

    What can this be? Adsense glitch? Or someone stole my pub-ID, created an ad and is clicking on it?

    Google for sure detected it as invalid clicks cause i didn't receive any money from those 8 clicks...

    Should i email Google? :confused: :confused:

    EDIT : [​IMG] Here's a printscreen

    I had a similar problem too. However, for mine the Total was not add up correctly. It "forgot" to add the clicks from several channels and continued to stay that way, even after I log out and re-login.

    The problem disappear after a few hours though. Maybe google's "calculator" is a bit retarded today.

    Sometimes your channel reports and the main "Today's Earnings" do not match or are off by a bit.

    One could be updated before the other.

    This one:
    This month, by day

    is sometimes ahead of the main readout.

    Yes i know that, but it's not the case here...
    When that happens, after one hour or so, the stats update and everything is fine again...

    My case is different, today...Meaning 10 or 11 hours later, it's still the same...I still have 8 misterious clicks that didn't give any money...
    I still have my adsense account this morning so...I guess i'm safe for now...

    It's what Google said about "invalid clicks".
    The clicks doesn't meet the requirements and only the valid click have been shown at your details. For total those 29 clicks, your ads have 8 invalid clicks!

    hello jarod:p :)

    Email google like i said, tell them the problem, and tell them that you suspect that you are beeing click bombarded.
    In the next days, if the situation continues remove all adds, and email google saying that you are geeting clicks but you havent any adds on you pages.

    8clicks 0cents each i might pass for one day, but continually i think google may ban you:(

    Nop. All my ads, and i mean all are covered with channels.
    Only possibility is someone stole my pub-ID...Can't think of something else.

    Then protect your source code with any programs out there.... that would be safe!
