New Sites Not Receiving Credit for Clicks

[CWebguy]

I have noticed that all my new sites (which haven't received a lot of traffic yet) have in total about 15-20 clicks with $0.00 credit.

Does Google not pay out to new sites?

My other sites that are older register earnings just fine. Anyone else noticed this?

Thanks.

Did you remember to list them in your "allowed sites"?

The problem was is I was waiting for like a month to check stats and couldn't! I was so mad, haha. But thanks for helping me to fix it purplecape. Kudos to you!

CW, so do you lose out on those 15-20 clicks, or do you get credit for them after adding the sites to the allowed list?

So, what is the advantage ot disaadvantage in using this AdSense feature?

[purplecape]

The big advantage is that it reduces the chance that you can get in trouble with Google for invalid clicks--if someone copies an ad with your code on it and puts it somewhere weird, for example.

The disadvantage, and I think it's a small one, is that you can do like CW did and forget to add sites to the list.

I think it's a great feature and I use it.

No I don't get credit as far as I know.

For some reason it still tracked impressions though, and clicks, just no earnings for those clicks during that time.

In your AdSense Control Panel:
AdSense Setup -> Allowed Sites

You can do like marcel said, I think the default is that it is not turned on, so it might not effect a new publisher, just us oldies ;)
