wierd adsense income in my account

samcarson · 05-30-2011, 11:33 AM

Something strange is going on in my adsense account. Since last 3 days, daily earnings is around $50. There is no mention of a site when you login, just shows impressions and clicks. I ran the adsense report and it shows a very small income.

The max I ever got in last couple of years is $5 per day.

I checked the awstats of my 3 sites and there is no traffic spike.

Anybody experience this before? Also is there a way to find out which site is sending these clicks.

There is nothing strange about this. I guess you are not using the Allowed Sites feature on your adsense account? Someone could have placed your adsense code on an illegal site, maybe to get you banned...
The money might be good, but imho you are taking a risk because you don't know where the clicks are coming from. If you want to use the Allowed Sites feature, search your Adsense account under Adsense Setup - Allowed Sites. Any clicks coming from sites NOT in that list won't be counted. Its meant to protect you from people doing mischief with your code.
