yes and no.
You can setup your ads to "IMAGE ONLY". Most of these ads pay you CPM (although, some of them pay you only clicks).
If you are saying they are not counted in the report totals, I don't think this is correct. The Adsense Support website states of CPM ads: "Clicks and impressions are reported just as they are with pay-per-click ads".
So, whilst for PPC ads you are paid per click and for CPM you are paid per impression, with both of them the number of clicks and impressions are counted in the reports.
in other words, they equal = $0 because they pay you per CPM, not per clicks.

can you tell me where you get this info from?
can we please have a definite confirmation, that all image ads only pay per impression? image ads paying per click would be insane. remember the branding effect of image vs text. click price would have to be tremendous to compensate the publisher. this is obviously not the case. reminds me of good old affiliate networks who account image banners per lead or sale.. ridiculous.
Also, how is the payment done..is the amount accrued each time my impression crosses a 1000 landmark or is it done per every impression.. My site has infour hours last, got some 100 impressions with image ads, but i have not been paid anything as yet.
