For the last two monthes i averaged around 10 000 to 15 000 impressions per day
and around 400 clicks per day
but then about 4 days ago google adsense is reporting 0 clicks a day
im still getting 10000 to 15000 impressions but no clicks at all.

i sent them 2 emails asking about this but it looks like they are just ignoring my question and suggesting that if im not satisfied with the ads showing on my site to remove the code

anybody else with this problem
anybody out there getting all those impressions and all of a sudden no clicks at all

Have the ads changed? If the content of your site is highly targeted, and the visitors are too, then a small change in the ads showing could make them seem irrelevant.

Alternatively your traffic is repeat visitors and they've seen all the ads before.

400 to 0 does seem odd, though.

no the ads didn't change that much i noticed only few new ads. the strange thing is that all until now i never got less than 400 clicks per day
and for the last 4 days according to google i didnt get even one click.

also the number of page impressions is still well above 10000

Sounds like you are under investigation and they have stopped counting your clicks temporarily until they can prove malfeasance.

Maybe.

Their response is very odd, uncharacteristic.

here is an answer from them

Thank you for following up with us. Please note that I have reviewed your
account and I also note page impression data with few associated clicks
being reported in your account over the last few days.

Public service ads, or PSAs, are non-paying charity ads that are displayed
when targeted ads are unavailable for any reason. Clicks on these ads are
not reported to your AdSense account. Public service ads do count toward
the total number of page impressions in your AdSense reports when your
site displays a mix of these ads with relevant paying ads. Your account
will not show any data on days when your site only displays public service
announcements.

Please keep in mind that, as previously mentioned, public service ads will
appear on pages that contain content primarily in an unsupported language,
such sa Croatian. Thus, you are probably displaying public service ads on
many of your pages.

Please understand that you cannot filter PSAs from your site. You can,
however, implement an alternate ad or ad color that will be displayed
instead of public service ads.
