Too many invalid clicks

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by panakos, Jul 18, 2010.

    I have three sites.
    freezlo.com , gr , co.uk

    I use adsense in all of them from the same acount
    I track stats with statcounter from where i see the exit links
    Adsense report counts les than 30% of the clicks loged by statcounter
    I check the clicks from statcounter to see if they are from the same ip and the duration.
    There are some clicks that have very small duration , or they are from the same ip
    But clicks recorded from adsense are very low.
    Also i get a lot of clicks with 0.01 cents

    I also use adwords for my main occupation being an Electrical Engineer
    I use chip keywords but is i set the CPC low i have to ads published an no cliks

    So i guess that adsense revenue % is very low for publishers.

    if you get 1 cent per click, then it is your niche that is giving you such low pay. it is possible that you have lots of invalid clicks. some sites, based on targeted geo and the method of promotion will have such high ratio of invalid clicks. you can try out different niche to see if that makes any difference. 1 cent per click is not something worth working for unless you have millions of clicks

    for the last 15 hours my statcounter acount has loged more than 40 clicks from diferent ips in the 3 domains that i have.
    only 2 of them were counted and paid.
    all the other are not even counted as invalid.

    this is getting on my nerves
    I also use adwords to advertise my main actinity being an engineer and i get charged more than 0.20 per click and i never have invalid visitors that i do not pay for.

    Most of the 43 clicks stayed at the other site more than 10 secs, some never came back.

    Statcounter accurate in tracking adsense clicks? When you say "niche", it is the theme of your site.

    i have noticed once that statcounter had logged adsense clicks from my ip. but that happened once and i browse the site every day.
    From the other exit links to other sites that i track i find it to be very accurate.
    my site is freezlo.com , do you think that i should change the "niche"?

    is there an alternative to adsense?
    i really dont like the policy of adsense that in simple terms says "We are always right , you just work for us and dont ask questions"

    how on earth can i send mail to adsense?
    this is #@#$% ridiculous.
    What makes me even more angry about the situation is , that where ever i have started a post about adsense not counting clicks every body answers like change your niche , or your theme and layout etc etc.

    I AM NOT LOOKING FOR MORE CLICKS , OR TRAFFIC , I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHY THE ONES THAT I GET ARE NOT COUNTED , EVEN IF THEY ARE ONE PER DAY OR ONE MILLION.
