I haven't had a chance to do additional research but am guessing Google has set some threshold that determines when they pay and when they don't. I am guessing they set a cookie that tracks the amount of time you spend "viewing" the ad. If the user doesn't stay on the ad (long enough to read it) the ad host doesn't get paid...again just a guess? @Ricky - I continue to struggle with my AdSense numbers not adding up.

It looks like removing the MBL code does not help either. It would appear that Google has become very strict with respect to what they deem as a "valid" click. @Dave - Since I posted this article I have been seeing others that have also noted a discrepancy in the number of clicks AdSense is reporting.

For example I had something get posted on CollegeHumor...which brought like 15,000 unique visitors. MyBlogLog showed a bunch of clicks, but there was practically none from AdSense. I contacted Google, and they basically said we didn't see those clicks. Not sure if MyBlogLog is accurate or not, but I'm curious which one is truly right. I actually saw the same thing on my page.

I think your are right on, I am thinking that these clicks are being deemed as "invalid"...not sure why though. I am definitely not clicking on my own ads. @Erik - I have waited it out and still nothing.

Have your stats updated at all? Google may have deemed the click invalid as well. That's all I can think of. That’s definitely weird. Have your stats updated at all?
