The discussion revolves around the challenges faced by a user in generating revenue from Google Ads on their website. Participants explore issues related to ad clicks, revenue reporting, and the implications of ad types, particularly in the context of a math forum. The conversation includes technical aspects of ad performance and user experiences with Google Ads.
Participants express a range of views on the reasons for the lack of revenue, with no consensus on the underlying cause. Some believe it may be due to the type of ads or the site's indexing status, while others emphasize the importance of avoiding click fraud.
There are unresolved questions regarding the timing of revenue updates, the status of ad clicks, and the implications of the site's recent indexing by Google. Participants also highlight the need for caution regarding ad clicking practices.
Jameson said:So I finally put some ads from Google on my page to try to generate revenue and people have clicked them, but no money is in my account. None, $0.00. Does anyone that's used this before know why this is? I only ask at this site because I know that this forum uses Google Ads. Any help is appreciated.

Jameson said:Sorry, I don't know what PSA ads are. They are the same kind of ads as this site, generated by content.They are per click ads, so I figured that I'd get a couple of cents per click, but nothing yet.
Its probably cause your site has not been properly and fully spidered yet, email Google's support about it.Jameson said:My site has only recently been searchable on Google. Without ads, it's been up maybe 3 weeks and with ads about a week. But I don't see how that affects me getting money when people click the ads. I'm positive they've been clicked.

Its that and more. For example every computer and network has a DNS assigned by your ISP. Mine is pcp08540242pcs.wchstr01.pa.comcast.net ... This tells ISP, geographical and god only knows what else that can get out of it, but say my neighbors is pcp08540243pcs.wchstr01.pa.comcast.net and both of us click an ad 2 times, that can get us banned cause our DNSs are so similar.Greg Bernhardt said:Google is extremely sensitive to click fraud. If the IP of the clicked ads is close to the IP that is used to check your account or if a user has clicked ads repeatedly with an IP then it's very likely google has voided the clicks.
Eh i wouldn't count on it being anytime soonJameson said:I'll be really carefull. Just FYI, the clicks have actually generated some revenue, around $2, I just didn't get to the right page before. I wonder how long it will take me to raise the $180 for a VBulletin liscense?
