7 Clicks and Only .04 Cents

How do you exaplin this?

I only use Text Ads Only feature and don't have any eCPM based ads.

On one particular channel I see about 80 impressions, 7 clicks and .04 cents. how can you explain this?

I thought Adsense has some minimum bid? So this even does not come to .005 per click.

Maybe you had multiple clicks from someone on the same ad and they were later discounted?

But yeah, fraction of a cent clicks would seriously suck ;)

Could be multiple clicks from same person or clicks from a bot/spider or some other type of invalid click.

If that's the case, shouldn't they not be included in the count?

Erku, if that's for today, keep in mind that impressions, clicks and money aren't always updated at the same time.

I'm quite sure that is the case. Give it some time to update!

Thanks guys, it's only today so far.

I think Google's robots are getting smarter. I think they track the IP for each click becuase sometimes it happens to me too. I see $0.00 with 4 clicks.

Could it be cpm ads?

it probably is an update problem, but fwiw, i think that the minimum bid on the content network is now $.01? so how many clicks would that take before you show any earnings?

hard to believe that you'd be getting those tiny bids and no site-targeted ads, tho... did you tell google to not serve up any site-targeted ads?
