2 clicks 1 penny? What?

[tgo]

I just checked my adsense stats and today I have 2 clicks, with a total of 0.01 in revenue... Since when do they accept half cents for clicks?

I cant imagine ever accepting 0.5 cents for a click, Thats so not worth them leaving my site. I never have seen this before, anyone else see similar numbers?

Really pathetic, come on yahoo let everyone in.

Edit - Now sitting at 3 clicks 0.01 cents earned.... somethings got to be wrong.

1 click = 1 penny
1 click = public service

 

[tgo]

I dont show public service adds, I use a alternate ad program so that is not the cause...

Now 4 clicks 1 cent.... this is getting ridiculous.

 

[italks]

it happenned a lot of times with me.

No... this is something new... I'm at 136 clicks on the day for .01 ... , yesterday my RPC dropped by .67 from usual... and that's just the CPM for the site I'm sure...

Dammit, what's up?

They trying to push me even faster over to YPN for all my sites?

 

[tgo]

Can I ask if anyone else added the referal code to a site that is experiancing this.... Seams to be coinciding with my adding of this code. I do know that it counts twards your impressions, thus droping your ctr if you get no clicks.

Ya poor Canada... Yahoo should let us in to

 

[bojianh]

me too! actually it fluctuates. Some days i get 5 clicks $0 but 1 day, 2 clicks $1.47

Does anybody have a good explanation for this? Yesterday, my first click was $.41, and then 4 more clicks @ $0.00

Is everyone who is experiencing the no value clicks participating in the Adsense or Firefox referral program? I wonder if it's recording the click-thrus on those banners.

 

[yandig]

I'm using the referral program, but I had no clicks on the referral ads yesterday.

I received 62 clicks one day and received on average of $.03 CPC. The strange thing is my average CPC is usually $.15 - $.30 with about 20 clicks/day. I had two issues then, 1) why the sudden spike, and 2) why the drop in income? I still don't know why, and now I have a growing suspicion towards Adsense and Google in general.

who knows it is invalid click?

who knows.... what happens....

I found this snippet on another blog:
"Here’s another tidbit that makes me question the value of AdSense, at least on my blog: quite of few of those clicks resulted in zero earnings. I understand Google tracks IP addresses and apparently doesn’t pay for clicks if they appear to come from someone who’s just trying to run up the click rate. That’s fair, but don’t you wonder if the advertiser still has to pay Google for those clicks?"

Google is smart, of course they pay the advertiser back... what are a few bucks compared to a bad ROI and lost paying advertiser? They have to keep their costumers happy, having that said - advertisers come at first place if you ask me.

Just my 2 cents.

The other day I earned about $2 for one click.

Today, my 7-day report has gone from $10 to $7 already.

 

[Shorty]

I just started using Google Adsense. I hope there's some kind of bug to be honest, because it says i've had 300 page views, and no clicks, 0 RPM and $0 revenue in like a week.

 

[theparrot]

CPM ads, clicks from countries they don't pay for are two possible reason.

I am running the firefox program and that has its own stats section so does not impact the context ad stats.

And what results with google firefox program ?
