Tell me one thing
how do you get hundred of visitors when your alexa rating is unknown and your google PR:0. is there any advertising compaign or some thing else

[aeiouy]

Pretty sure posting all that info is against the TOS for Adsense.

I know posting a link at the bottom of your post is a violation of the WebmasterWorld TOS.

It is just smart-pricing at work. But to go from 33 cents a click to HALF A CENT, wow.

[albanwr]

Woah there, don't jump to conclusions.

Look at the site.

I had a link from Mac Bytes yesterday which cause all that traffic.
There is nothing underhand here.
I have on my site pictures of the UK Macworld conference/expo, that a lot of people obviously wanted to look.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld albanwr

how do you get hundred of visitors when your alexa rating is unknown and your google PR:0

Hehehe...you've fallen for that one haven't you? Trash, utter and complete trashy garbage...! You've been reading too many magazines and "other" forum boards.

The first thing I do when installing any new system is to remove Alexa and as for Page Rank...has it ever worked correctly?

I seem to remember a couple of days a couple or more years agoooooooo...

I had a link from Mac Bytes yesterday which cause all that traffic.

Haven't you answered your own question or am I mssing something?

[albanwr]

My main question is on the 31st of October I get $4 for a few clicks and then get (nothing ) On the 1st of November for loads of clicks.

P.S Thanks for the welcome. Especially after the previous comments!

[garyr_h]

Perhaps they were invalid clicks? Which seems a very good posibility since the day before you only got 1/2 cent a click. Someone seems to be a bit clicking crazy...

[OptiRex]

then get (nothing ) On the 1st of November for loads of clicks.

Because the visitors only came to see your photos etc. They were being vain to see if they were included?

I see your Adsense is on a blog...from what I've read they're not very high click thru sites, maybe someone else can advise since I don't use them.

I did notice when I looked that 4 ads were for blogs and 1 for Bill Gates...on a refresh at least 3 Mac ads and 2 for tech repairs...hmmm...not the way to a million methinks.

I don't think anyone can explain to you exactly what is happening. When you have a smallish number of clicks, funny statistical things can happen.

What worries me is the 8 clicks for $0.00. It looks like some clicks might be getting filtered. You're not clicking any ads on you own site, are you?

[albanwr]

I am filtering nothing. This is what I cannot understand.

[albanwr]

Anyhow thanks for your support and advice OptiRex.

[dzcap]

Here's what you should do. Change domain! It's the quickest way to fix that stupid smart-pricing. But you've got 8 clicks for $0, I'd email adsense about it.

[OptiRex]

But you've got 8 clicks for $0

However did those click thrus immediately click back?
