No clicks, but much visits

My site Fitness deluxe

First day - 159 UV
2nd day - 460 UV

The site was running only 2 days

325 Visits from Search Engines (Yahoo and Google)
233 Referring Sites (Stumbleupon mainly)
50 Direct Traffic

Well , I completely get $0 from it, I received about 10 clicks, but it says $0.00 , total about 30 clicks, but I am receiving no money!
My site that was getting 65 UV per day... received at least 0.50 per day... but what is the problem with this one? How come all the clicks are invalid.

This is the 1st time I experience such a thing....
And do you recommend to change the ad placements or something?

#clicks #visits

Well generally Google is pretty smart so you clearly did something to piss "it" off. Haha, Maybe the problem is that Google sees it as unnatural for your site to be online for 2 days and get that much traffic, so it suspected suspicious activity on your part.

How can I prove it to them?
Well all the other sites were fine.... my partner get's the traffic, he has many years of experience, and all his sites are getting money except our site Fitness Deluxe... how can I fix this?

Change some image ads into text links and use the blue color links.

Thanks Ross, I've done that, I did it at start but thought maybe pictures are better (BTW there are only 3 Adsense ADS there.. 2 in the posts... and 1 on the top right, the other ads (5) are Clickbank affiliates.

But how does changing it to Text help me with invalid clicks?

Maybe someone are clicking your ads to make you ban.
I don't know if there is a plugin that removes the adsense
ads when there's consecutive clicks.

I'm not a fan of adsense that is why most of my sites
ads are clickbank products. I just used adsense to some
niches that don't have a fit product.

Is it ok to have affiliate links and adsense on the same page ? Isnt this against adsense TOS ?

Can I have an amazon widget on my site which already has adsense on it or not ?

can't help you on your lack of clicks issue, but...

nice site.

just want to point out a couple of things...

you have a bunch of links in the footer... I'm guessing those were added by whoever you got the WP theme from. Remove them. One or two links are fine but four is pushing it.

make better use of your sidebar. you have a lot of wasted empty space that could be better used. fill that puppy up with some selling goodness.

also, what are you using to track your stats?

I use Google Analytics to track my visits, and Adsense for clicks (haha)... thnx for the compliment... but what do you mean by with some selling goodness, I will check TOS once I'm back from GYM, is it allowed? But I don't want to put too many ads :s but your suggestion is good, I will think what to fill in that space.

  Affiliate ads in adsense pages are fine. They cannot look
  like a copy-cat of google.
  
  Don't bother emailing google. That is, don't email and
  expect a response. Email if it just makes you feel better.
  
  A huge amount of invalid clicks like 10 means something was wrong
  on that day. You say nothing about the other days. If you
  keep getting a bunch of invalid clicks, and everybody will get one
  here or there, then you have other issues with that site.

I checked it out, 13 clicks in 1 day, but only 15 cents (which was credited for 1 click only!)

Isn't this scary? Posting your site with Adsense here?

Beware of clickbombs.

it doesn't need to be ads. I agree that you don't want to overkill your site with ads.

some options would be categories, a tag cloud, recent posts list, most popular posts.

As far as I know you can use adsense and other third party ads on your site. I see it all the time.

Install the statpress reloaded plugin for a second opinion on your site stats.

  I think the reason why google are not paying you is because its a very low paying keyword.
  On google keyword tool, 'fitness deluxe' has a cost per click of £0.04, it'll probabaly be a lot different if the advertiser had to pay more.

  Thanks

No.. I've researched for the keyword.. they pay $1.5 or so for the keywords I've entered, but with my other site "Fitness" I used to get at least 10-50 cents per click!
