Last month, I noticed clear click fraud in which I was the beneficiary. No idea who did it but it was clearly someone clicking like mad on our site. I reported it and expected to lose hundreds of dollars as a result. But my approved amount is the same as that was previously calculated.
It's not that I mind getting extra money but there was no doubt about this click fraud - for three days, the numbers of clicks were dozens of times the average for that channel. It seems like I just, inadvertantly, stole hundreds of dollars from some rightfully upset Adwords advertiser. Not sure what to make of this.
Another question, this is my first month on adsense, do new users get approved at a different time?
Does everyone generally get approved at the same time? Or is it different?
Any answers would be very helpful.
What happens if I don't get approved? What does that mean?
I emailed google this morning, but I am sure they are swamped at this time of the month. I have heard nothing back from them. I have been told by others here - and elsewhere that most users are approved at the same time. I find this hard to really believe though and clearly not everyone posts when their payments are approved!
I would not be surprised if they spend extra time on new accounts with substantial balances, however, perhaps that is what the issue is. Without revealing any info, are you waiting for enough to buy a hamburger or a LOT of hamburgers? :) :)
also, if you can AIM me, at <snip> so we can talk and see if we get approved at the same time or at all!
