The $1.93 mfa?

[Publisher1]

One of my sites reported a single daily click with $1.93 value. Needless to say I was pleased, and checked on the site. Although the computer I am using now does not have the adsense preview tool, I am in the same country (by which you can segregate clicks). So I decided to check the top positioned ad (obviously without clicking through adsense, but directly to the advertiser) in the first ad block -- and it came out as an unabashed, pure, worthless, utterly useless, garbage MFA.

Now I'm wondering where that high-yield click came from? The other ads on the page that I could see were old friends; mostly mfa type things.

I'm not complaining of course, but am puzzled. Where did this high paying ad really come from?

There is no way to determine for sure where your click originated from.

Adlogger can work out where a click came from.

Unless they used Firefox, or has that been fixed yet?

In any case it appears that information has been lost now, so there's no way to ever know.

It could have been the second ad or an ad you've never seen. I notice at times different ads will appear on the page at different times or even within a second.

Also, are you sure it wasn't a cost-per-thousand impression (CPM) ad? If a CPM appeared on your site for a period of time, you might notice earnings with no associated clicks.

Adlogger can work out where a click came from.

But can it tell you the value of the click? As I understand it only Google knows that.

If Adsense has enough ad inventory I believe they are now rotating ads, based on what, I don't know. I can say one of my home pages had a completely different "suite" of ads this morning, versus a typical set I've become familiar with.

So if this is occuring you may never see the ad.

Don't forget localization

You will never see all the ads your visitor sees! The high paying click may have been due to a localized ad for the region or city of your visitor.

A web surfer living in Washington DC looking for a cosmetic surgeon, clicks on an ad from a cosmetic surgeon advertising exclusively in the DC area; probably pays pretty well. (Now MFA's have to make pages for every city and region, easy right! Ten billion more trash pages.)

No it cant, and as far as firefox goes it still wont show where the click went TO

Yes true thay have to make many more trash pages for it...;)

Do we have any software which can tell us on which ad the visitors has clicked and from which place he is and from where exactly he has been referred to my site.
