Whats going on??? this morning at 6 am it said I had 26 clicks and made 5.49 cents, I checked it just now and I had 31 clicks and now it says 1.49 cents!!! whats going on also yesterday I made 25 dollars, I just clicked the yesterday thing and it went down to 19.52 cents.
so you clicked your own ads? thats why your earning got reduced. pretty soon you will be banned. or you mean "checked" and NOT "clicked" ?
wow wtf? this is weird I just noticed now it says Estimated earnings. I dont think its fraud because if it was click fraud, I have never ever clicked anyone of my ads. This is BS I bet you anything Google is just randomly taking away clicks just like they did that smart pricing. I dont even make much as it is. I was crushed seeing how my earnings went from 5 dollars to 1.49
no I clicked the yesterday setting to check you know the drop down when it says check yesterday, last 7 days and since last payment, you click it in your adsense grid. I have never clicked any of my ads.
Maybe you're looking at the wrong thing. Are you sure you're not looking at the estimate per 1000? And when you say clicks, are you sure you mean clicks and not page impressions?
I haven't experienced it myself - yet - but it might have something to do with the 'Estimated Earnings" thingie.
why did they do that? that is messed up why even put up an estimate to get people happy then the next day or two days later take cash out? I was so happy to see I actually had a day where I made over 25 dollars then to see it only 19 dollars was strange. but today is the worse it went from 5.49 to 1.49. I hope Microsoft does well on this ppc beta and doesn't take back clicks or cash from people.
Google is probably auditing the clicks since they did mention that the "estimated earnings" can be different from the finalized one. Even if you did not click on your own ads, did you mention your site to friends, relatives etc? Maybe they are trying to help you and click the ads for you. So check with them.
They do that because it takes them a little time to determine if there are invalid clicks or other issues. It sounds like that is what happened to you: a number of your clicks were determined to be invalid.
nope like 80 percent of my traffic is Search Engine...probably 20 percent is return viewers. maybe a competitor in the same niche as me is doin the clicks?
Invalid clicks will be deducted. They might be invalid clicks. Check your web log to study the traffic and check if some one clicks your ads purposely.
wow, that is really strange, it has never happened to me before it could be due to invalid clicks perhaps?
This is really weid, but probably will happen every time google adsense checked multiple clicks from 1 user.
