Did the clicks show up in your reports with no earnings recorded, or did they fail to show in your reports at all?

Let's put it this way.....
I'm not sure, and I never want to know. LOL
Simply put the code in, never discuss it with anyone that visits the site, work hard at creating content and interested visitors will come 'a clicking.

That "never discuss it with anyone" isn't meant to sound like paranoia, but rather just good sense...no pun intended.
You don't need all your buddies clicking, thinking they are doing you any favors.
Let the system work it's magic for you- as it was intended.
You'll be fine.

You will know when folks click on your ads, they will show.
The AdLink boxes need your visitor to click on the ads inside, or the click will not show.

Zero $ could also mean you were showing public service ads.

If you just added AdSense I am in the PSA camp. Wait a few days and those clicks will start to show earnings.
