Did Google counted all your clicks today?

I think they don't.

The day has not end, yet, but I have a software to track my ads clicks. The software is always no more than 10% of difference respecting Google always below Google, this is because it works just for IE ...
But today, my statistics shows 50% more clicks that what google is giving me .... mmmh...
I have the feeling that during the downtime this morning, some clicks were not accounted ... I wonder if the advertisers were charged or not ...
What do you think?

@ 6 am UK time, no ads being served/displayed anywhere on the web so maybe you still getting traffic but wont get clicks without ads

Seems a little low for me too, but not 50%, perhaps 10 or 15%. But as you say, the G accounting for the day isn't over yet.

Then again, IF there was a problem, your clicks may come at different times than mine.

It would be really nice if G would give the publishers an accounting over which (or at least how many) clicks went to which advertisers, how much they were worth (ya right!), and if they converted.

You know, treat us like partners.

Some day G will shut off the "wrong" publisher, and some day, some court (probably in the 9th District in California) is going to find the AdSense publisher's agreement to be so one-sided as to be unconscionable and unenforcable.

Oh. I'm sorry. Was that out loud? I didn't mean to think that. Oh, someone's at the door... one of them ha

Google is listening ..
They double my adsense income in the last 2 hours :)
So, I withdraw this :)

Hey, guys, I posted my findings on another thread - Is there a lag today? post #27 or so, on page three.

Essentially, Google's stats for page impressions are ststistically absurd in comparison to mine.

I've coined a new term for the effect: Scroogled.

As for G's contract, there's a lot of what lawyers like to call "restrictive covenants" in there. These kinds of contracts are usually ruled to be illegal, so, when some slick class action attorneys (I'm sure some of them are already working on this, as AdSense Publishers constitute a very large class) get their hairs up, there will be lawsuits, however, we'll get little if anything, as the lawyers will pocket huge fees, Google will pay up or appeal, and the process will take years.

I speak from experience. I am currently a participant in 2 separate class actions. In both cases, the offense occured at least three years ago. In one case, the company has already been found guilty and agreed to pay damages, of which I was informed 10 months ago. To date, I know of nobody who's received even a nickel. In the other case, the hearings have just begun, so don't hold your breath.

The downside for companies who lose class action lawssuits is usually minimal. Their stock may take a 3-5% hit. Big deal. As usual, us peons are peed on.
