Click not counted on fresh site

maybe a stupid question, but...

Hi! Yesterday we put on a new site we have been working on and it has some adsense in it.

Proud of the new site I showed it to a partner and he was surfing around on the site. Then he saw an Ad and clicked on it.

Today I see 74 impressions on that domain channel for yesterday, but NO click! So, his click was not counted.

That means, I generated traffic by telling a business partner to go to that site, which showed a relevant ad he was interested in and he clicked it. I want at least 3 cents for that :)

Seriously: The only reason I could think of is, that he is in the same office network of the building I am in. Do they filter these clicks out?

Basically I am not amused...

P!

Neither is google. Tell him to click it 200 times next time. It gets downright hilarious then.

Yeah, then it would be fraud, but that click should have counted... he really registered on the site he clicked the ad! I just wonder how many proxy clicks go nil because of such a filter!

he used another machine, btw...

P!

A site that has has not launched and gets NO traffic, and then gets a click from the same IP block? That seems like a no-brainer for Google to block.

If the same IP clicked as has logged into the AdSense console, you won't get charged for that click. I've occasionally accidentally clicked on an ad while working on my own sites (I now work with gif image placeholders till I'm ready to go) both from home and from work, and I see the click but no revenue. So Google knows.
