    Hi ppl,

    Although i'm running adsense on my web site for a while, i'm a complete n00b at AdSense matters and I hope I can learn a lot from here. I've been running it since january and didn't made $100 yet :(

    My first question is:

    - The last few days I was making around $2 a day and I don't know why, the last three days I only made $0.03 !!! And in these three days I had 11,16,32 clicks !!!

    Why this happenned ? What I've done wrong ? Could someone explain to me ? :confused:

    Thanks folks, be sure Ill be asking more questions here :)

    You need more traffic.

    If you got 11, 16 and 32 clicks and I assume your CTR to be about 2 percent then you had 550, 800 and 1600 impressions.

    A drop frmo $2 to 0.03 isn't significant on those numbers. So before anything else, get more traffic. If I guessed your CTR too high, get it up.

    Get some more posts, then post a Website Review and we'll give you our ideas about improving it.

    11 click with only 0.03 cents?
    Are you clicking on your own ads? is adsence displaying Public suport ads on your site?

    Check ur site, do you have ads or PSA's ? yesterday all my ads on my main site changed to PSA ads I had to change keywords to pick a different group of ads (turned out I blew the budget of people selling ringtones with the keywords "crazy frog".. now using "crazy frog axel f" to get some ads.

    But the MAIN thing you can do.. is get more traffic :)

    Whats your URL?

    Yes it sounds like your clicks are being invalidated.

    I had

    *DELETED*

    and yeah i clicked a few of my own ads, but my IP always change cuz i use a dynamic IP provider. But let's say, I clicked hmmm, 4 or 5 times each day. Not that much.

    Could this be a penality from google ? Wasn't it expected to be interpret as a new visitor since my ip changed ?

    And btw, how those numbers are calculated ?

    What is CTR, eCPM and how the final value is calculated ?

    Whats the best to have, high or low eCPM ?

    Thanks folks for the fast replies.

    Why don't yuo go somewhere else asking this then?

    Your basically saying:

    "Hi, I just stole loads of stuff from a house, sold it on eBay but didn;t get much for it? Any tips?"

    Click your own ads = you're a scammer. Might well have been one of my ads.

    Thanks for wasting our time.

    Google is much smarter than you and other simple cheats out there.. They know you have cheated. You probably will never see a dime from them and when you do hit 100.00 of legitimate clicks, they will cancel your account and hold your payment.

    It is people like you that send cost per clicks through the toilet for all of us honest publishers.

    You should not click your ads. I hope you get banned from Adsense. And google will have have more ways of preventing click fraud than you think. Theif.

    Even now on your site, you are saying somthing in red letters about Adsense (http://www.compartilhadores .net/) (Remove space to view)

    Look I didn't want to be aggressive or waste your or someone else time.

    Thanks for the warm welcome and for being a such sweet person.

    As I said I'm totally n00b. I thought that clicking a few times, google might interpret it as a new visitor and it will ADD a few hits to my counter not stole everything and make millions of hits and tons of money.

    Thats why I came here, to get some information and not to waste time of noone.

    Ppl from here tend to be aggressive with newbies or attack at first and ask after. I read some topics yesterday before posting here and saw a few of this behaviour here. What a pity that a good forum like this have ppl acting so infatile.

    If someone still wants to help me and explain the numbers and tells me how google work out owner clicking own ads (a few times) it would be very appreciate from me.

    Thanks

    We don't like people who steal our advertising money, you get what you deserve.

    Read the TOS next time before entering a financial/business relation. If you had done just that you didn't have to come here and our time wouldn't have been wasted.

    Because of twisted people like yourself, we collectively loose millions every year.

    stupid mistake... STOP CLICKING YOUR OWN ADS NOW

    and also NEVER post CTR / CPM or anything other than impressions + earnings as it is against the big G's rules to tell people those figures... I suggest you edit your posts and remove the figures... remove your URL... turn around... walk away from the forum

    The first rule of Google club is don't talk about Google club!

    You broke so many rules I'm left speechless. I'm guessing any money you earnt will soon be given back to the advertisers (where it belongs) and you'll be kicked off the program :eek:

    Cheers

    hey, although i clicked some of my own ads, i swear i looked all the pages i entered. Some of them were very interesting. As I said, my intention was not to rob someone cost per click or make a million.

    If I was to be a real bastard and fraud google i would look a more nasty way like a script or some automated stuff.

    And WHAT if i think a AD is interesting and I REALLY want to look at it ? I can't ?

    Man, you ppl are so freakin nervous that i'm already giving up joining this forum...in only 15 minutes of participation :(

    Hope noone goes to google and says "Bruce stealed !!! Send him to jail !!!"

    Now that I know how serious it can be I won't be clicking ads without a good reason. And besides, if my intentions were bad, why I would come here and admit that i clicked ??? Didnt anyone here made a mistake in life and tried to recover ? Or at least get some information about what you did so you wont do it anymore knowning now that its too bad ?

    "Three days with $0.03...

    ...rest of my life with $0.00."

    Be proud, you just had the best days of your AdSense career. You probably hit your peak faster than anyone else.

    Your name is quite suitable, Mr Sinner.

    You accepted the TOS. It's in there.

    You accepted the TOS, implying you read it. All you needed to know was in there.

    Welcome to the self-preservation society. You are the weakest link...

    yeah i will edit.

    as I said, I was totally lost about it. Thats why I came here.

    TO LOOK FOR HELP. AND I DIDNT GET ANY. ONLY FLAMES.

    Im from Brazil, English is not my natural language. It is hard to understand some points specially if the language is too technical.

    I didnt read the TOS, i didnt know you cannot post CTR.

    EXCUSE

    Cant you ppl be more calm ? Just say "look, you are wrong, hurry, edit there and do not make it again"

    but instead you shout and send me to hell. I was expecting more help and friendship than this.

    At least now I know what to do right, and wont make mistakes anymore.

    Unfortunately i learned with ppl shouting at me :(
