where are all my clicks going?

i recently installed asrep on my server and its been tracking all the clicks and such perfectly fine.

however, the number of clicks that i'm seeing in asrep and the number i'm seeing via adsense are nowhere near the same.

now, the only way that asrep would register a 'click' would be if someone gave the adframe focus, but im assuming people dont just click inside the iframe to give it focus and not to click the ad, right?

the 'missing clicks' arent substantial, but i guess it's still quite significant. it can vary from between 20-50 clicks on a good day and even more on a bad one.

also, im not clicking these ads, im not even clicking the iframe, so i know its not me.

I am unfamiliar with asrep, but my tacking software routinely registers "double clicks" -- I assume this happens because if a person clicks then hits the back button on the browser.

Of course AdSense only registers a single click from a user per ad per IP per day, so even if a person clicked 3 times on one ad, the advertiser only gets charged (and you only get paid) once.

Does asrep show you each click, and the IP or other identifying info for each? If so, you can check out my theory! :)

Good luck.
