Never seen a day with no clicks. Wonder if there is a problem?

    check and make sure that your ads are targeting the right niche or something that looks like your users would look into, also change around the ad placements.

    Sure my ads could be better targeted but I received 173 clicks so far this month.

    I should have minimum of a dozen clicks or so out of 1450 on a normal day.

    Only found one page out of thousands that could not be crawled.

      Have you checked for PSAs? Are your websites targeting similar industry niches? Perhaps you are targeting industries that are dominated by advertisers that have been Google Slapped for the new FTC crackdown?

      I can't think of anything else, unless it's an AdSense reporting issue.

        This might sound silly but have you entered your adsense code CORRECTLY?

    "This might sound silly but have you entered your adsense code CORRECTLY?"

    Not silly. Most of these sites have had the code for years.

    I checked a number of spots and ads are targeted- no PSA's.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    I will wait another day then contact Google if I still have this problem. If they don't want to pay me for my traffic, I'll remove their code.

      Hi hotftuna,

      Even though you haven't touched the code in years, you should still check the publisher IDs. It's not uncommon to see sites hacked at the host server level and no evidence appear, except for changed publisher IDs.

    If the ID was changed, I don't think I would see the page impressions.

    Now up to 1550 impressions and I just got my first click of the day.

    My sites are not design with steering traffic to adsense in mind, but this is nuts.

    I believe your users are Ad blind.

    Hi it is normal if your website is dealing with technology. Most of the viewers of tech related stuffs know what is adsense ads and they usually avoid it. Only suggestion I can give is changing ads placement and use rectangular boxes instead of other formats.

    I am also facing the same issue here, getting almost 1000+ impressions daily but very low CTR. if you found any placements that are doing great please post here.

    Mine is a Article related to Programming, mostly developers. I have already started using another advertising network along with adsense(CPM based).

    This seems a strange behavior but wait for a day or two to make sure if it is a temporary problem.
