Hello, I wish I had a screen shot of this but I don't. Anyway I was having a great start with adsense this morning. Had gotten 11 clicks from the U.S. CPC valued at over $1. Later when I checked my account I was shocked to find out that my CPC in the US had dropped from over $1 to .07....WTF! Google devalued the 11 clicks that I had all ready and made them equal to .07 each! At first I was thinking click fraud right or maybe click bomb...but if that was the case...then why didn't Google just make those US clicks invalid and remove them and not pay me anything for them. Has this happened to anyone else before? I have seen adjustments done but never to that degree. Team Slide

After awhile I started thinking that it could be the case. If so I am wondering why G still keeps the CTR the same. If a click is invalid I think they should remove those clicks from the stats not just the money. Or maybe they do it so that you keep your CTR...in that case that is a good thing.
Google considered those clicks were invalid clicks / fake clicks.these often happens when the clicks are made from same or almost same IP address. thanks.
