Earned a Few Dollars in AdSense the Other Day

But Control Panel Shows Zero Clicks and Zero Earned

hi
The other day, I earned few dollars thru clicks on my site.
When I logged on to the google adsense account, I dont see any history of clicks, or any pending payments to me.

All it writes is $0.00, 0 clickS!
This is strange.
Suggest me what to do.. write google obvously but tell them what!?

Are you new to AdSense? Were these your first clicks? Maybe they were cancelled as being invalid? Did they by any chance originate from your IP?

As for payments, they only occur after you have earned $100.

[Rose_1171]

Yes I am new to adsense. I did not make any clicks I am sure of it. I've been using adsense for sometime so am aware of TOS.
I understand I would recieve payment only when it reaches USD100.Not a problem there.
I have a feeling they have cancelled my account:( I hope not!
Should write them an email probably.
also , no matter what, they shoudl have written email to me, be it related to account problems or something else!
dont u think

How exactly do you know you earned a few bucks if the reports showed zero?

Kind of a loaded question, but anyway one possible problem is that the date rolled over and you were looking at the earnings for the next calendar day. Try going to the detailed reporting and make sure you select the correct time period.

hi! Well as I said, just few days back ( this month itself) it did show some earnings.
But suddenly all is USD 0.0
It certainly is strange!
Anyway, Ive written them. All i am hoping is that they have not removed my account. BTW , I still can access everything. When the account is banned, do the ID/Pw still work?
I'm being paranoid!

As I understand it (never been banned so I have no first hand experience) if AdSense bans you you cannot access your account anymore so you should be OK.

If you are 100% certain that neither you nor anyone associated with your computer(s) and IP clicked on the ads then it might be worth asking AdSense why they deemed some of your clicks to be invalid (which is the most likely scenario for your disappearing clicks). But they probably won't tell.
