Every Click Is Invalid - HELP!

Hi guys,

I have been working through the xfactor course but I am building larger sites (I have about 3 sites each with about 40 pages) in 3 different niches.

My first site was a wordpress blog and the clicks are fine from that one, however my other 2 sites I used a HTML template and for some reason every click I get is an invalid one, I have installed analytics on them so I know the traffic is coming from google and using the right keywords so I don't think thats the problem, Ive tried everything I can think of to fix the issue including redoing the adsense code, deleting and readding the channels, I even copy and pasted the EXACT code from my wordpress blog to my static sites.

I have also replicated the xfactor template and Im still getting invalid clicks, I don't know what else to do, Ive alerted Google to the situation but no response.

Any suggestions? Below is the code Im using (Please note I have changed the pub ID and google ad slot, aswell as putting hxxp instead of http so its NOT that.):

Code:
<td class="XSP_CENTER_PANEL"><table class="XSP_CENTER_PANEL" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td class="XSP_MAIN_PANEL">
 
<h1><font face="Arial">LCD TVs</font></h1>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-11111111111";
/* 336x280, created 30/11/09 */
google_ad_slot = "1111111111";
google_ad_width = 336;
google_ad_height = 280;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="hxxp://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
<p>Text about LCD tvs here.
I can't see anything wrong here, my account isn't banned and the ads are still showing up, it cant be anything to do with the publisher of the ad because all I get is invalid clicks on BOTH sites.

Please help!

    either create lots of channels or use Google Analytics merged with your adsense account.

      Hi thanks for the response.

      To clarify every single click Ive had on both of these sites (one site has had 7 clicks, the other has had 2) have ALL been invalid, since I installed google analytics on both I can see its on multiple pages and different keywords so I can verify that the traffic is coming from search engines, they seem like legit clicks and show up in my adsense account but I don't get credited for them.

      As you can see I thought it was just a one off or maybe a mistake it in the way ive copy/pasted the code but I have copy/pasted the code EXACTLY like other publishers and even tested it exactly like my other site which hasnt had any invalid clicks, still doesn't work :-(.

      Any more suggestions?
