According to exit link tracker from statscounter I got over 200 clicks but my adsense stats only shows less than 20! I know somebody will probably say statscounter is not accurate but even if that is true, no way I am getting under 0.30% CTR for this site. So I suppose adsense is throwing away majority of the clicks?
Yeah same was the case with me on a wallpapers site..! do u have a entertainment related site and traffic is south asian? -
You cannot compare stat counter with adsense data... it's totally different thing... robot clicks registered with ststcounter does not count i adsense data
Well Google has own system to detect Clicks and we have to believe on their data as we get money for it! It may possible which junvalasek mention above!
Here's an example... Someone tried to put my adsense down before (last 2006) by clicking more than 100 times on my ads... Because I am running a special firefox plugin where I can see my earnings on my taskbar, I notice the CTR was more than 500% but no earning... I immediately emailed the support telling them what I discovered and after a couple of hours, I got a response telling me that someone from Indonesia clicked my ads so many times... I am from Philippines so they believed I am telling the truth... Adsense said the clicks were from 56 different IP addresses in Indonesia and China... Even if I did not report that problem, adsense would still believe,.. they have all the means to track cheaters and honest publishers...
Some of the clicks might not be valid or be from the same person. So, those clicks won't be counted. If its a regular thing, you might want to get in touch with AdSense support.
Not just some, this is like 90% of clicks not valid? The thing is even if all those clicks are counted, the CTR would still only be under 3%!
You said "Yesterday". How was it for the days before? Do you get about 200 clicks per day or this is new?
