    18 clicks.. no eCPM
    Today's Earnings: UK£0.00

    ...anyone able to explain?
    i have 2 attention things on the main screen

    first one: Your payments are currently on hold. Action is required to release payment. More details. <- but thats to do with payment, not my todays earnings...

    second one: On 9/12/09, our engineers will be performing site maintenance from approximately 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM PDT.

    none of them explain i will experience any problems...

    sounds like your clicks are at least questionable - have you seen any sudden spikes in traffic/CTR - where is your traffic coming from?

    Look through your web server logs and figure out who has been visiting your site. If possible you want to correspond the web server logs and timestamps with any data you can pull from Adsense reports. Second, you want to install a "heatmap" tracking system on your website to figure out where your visitors are clicking. I used to use crazyegg.com back when they were free and it was amazing the level of detail you show for each visitor. There are other similar services, and I think Google Analytics might have something like this called "site overlay" or whatever. The main point is that you try to figure who is visiting, where they are going on your site, and what they are clicking on.

    Then you can use this information to answer your own questions about why you saw Adsense clicks without earning any money. It could be those clicks are from a disallowed IP address. Check your Adsense setup and see if there are any IP address filters for allow/disallow.

    Curious to know what you find out and what your log analysis shows.

    What is your page impressions for 18 clicks?

    You will start getting paid only after reaching 100$. f you have passed 100$ in your earnings, you can unhold your payment from your account settings.

    Site maintenance is as normal for any web site.

    I am sure that they must be invalid clicks.. if they are from same IP then contact google immediately and ban that IP otherwise it will get you in trouble..
