Do Public service ads count towards impressions and clicks
 

Google adsense shows public service ads when their isn't any matching ads for content of my site.

My question is does the impressions and click on public service ads reflects in my adsense account? and how do i avoid this

I don't think public service ads are counted since they're unpaid.

Yes, they do count. They just don't pay anything. You can set up an alternate ad URL to replace your PSAs. This can be acheived from the ad setup wizard.

I got it,but can you tell me any other reliable service like adsence so I can replace PSAs.

IF your site is a high traffic Site try CJ Ads. I cant call other PPC services reliable as AdSense.

Public service ads not counted for clicks etc they are totally unpaid

In adsense on the second page you can select a different page to show if there aren't any relevant ads: https://www.google.com/adsense/alternateads

But if you're getting a lot of public service ads that can mean adsense doesn't know what your page is about. Try not to write about too many different subjects on each page. Be specific and use relevant keywords in your page and post title.

The good ole PSA LOL

Free advertisement it always surprises me since they really don't give anyway FREE advertisement that is usually paid for. Just blows my mind

OR something in your page ("stop words", content) is triggering one of their filters
OR you're blocking the mediabot (Mediapartners-Google*) from spidering the site.

Yup. They count towards your page/ad unit impressions.
(well, at least for me, they did).

But, if somebody clicks on them, the will fetch you no money.

So, they are just that : "good for nothing".

Giving away free traffic nothing wrong with that is there LOL
