    Are you clicking your own ads? or someone might be trying to click bomb you.
    What is your site all about?

    I had a similar problem happen to me last year. It turned out that some of the traffic that was coming to my site, over a two day period, was from known spammers. So, any earnings from clicks that originated from these sites was automatically reversed. I had to work with Google to clear things up.

    You mentioned that you "started sending traffic". Be careful where you get traffic from.

    Check your Adsense account to see if there are any holds on it from invalid click activity. Google doesn't play around and takes invalid clicks very seriously.

    if it was click bombing, CTR would be lot higher than 5%. looks like either PSA or invalid clicks

    36 clicks and 0.00 earnings plus two prior days with clicks and 0.00 earnings means they are either PSA ads or deemed as invalid clicks. I would contact Google to let them know what you are seeing.

    The clicks most probably would have been counted as invalid ones since they do not translate into any earnings in the report. What about the source of traffic? Are they real or generated by some bots??
