How do Clicks on WebSearch include?

Are they including free listing clicks?

As we know the clicks on AdSense include the clicks from paid ads, PSA's and AA's.

For WebSearch, three actions will be taken place:
1. Clicks on paid ads (Ads by Google)
2. Clicks on free listings (Searched the web)
3. No click. Ignore it and hit back.

How do the clicks in WebSearch inlude? No. l only or No, 1 & 2?

Has anyone had some data on this?

I see a fourth action - clicks on an internal site page that fit what they searched for.

Based on what I've seen in my reports, they are doing all four actions. Sometimes the earnings are much higher than the 2 cents mentioned in other threads, leading me to believe they searched the web.

Of course, the clicks reported would only be for clicks on ads. The impressions would show how many searches were performed.

Actually, you are incorrect. AdSense impressions include AdWords ads, PSAs and AAs, but AdSense clicks only include AdWords clicks. See my post (msg #22) in the thread 41 clicks $1,73 What's the bottom amount? [webmasterworld.com].
