I have adsense ads on my site and suddenly for the last 5 days I have no clicks. The ads still appear and I and I am still getting 300+ impressions but no clicks and adsense for feeds doesn't even appear. Could I have done something that may cause the clicks not to register? I use WP plugin Quick Adsense. Can anyone please help!

    Maybe you are in for a website makeover. Like change a few words,
    titles, etc. Change adsense colors, placement, etc...

    Sometimes the quality of your traffic can take a dive, as the targeted
    ads. It is a good idea to see what ads are showing and block some if
    you dare.

    It is actually quite common for clicks and earnings to fluctuate. It's
    just that if you are making $10 a day and it drops to 50 cents, or nothing,
    it looks worse than to someone who made $150 and now makes $50.

    Fight the urge to click or get a friend to click. Don't do it.

    Focus on getting targeted visitors. You can do this without google.

    The frustration you feel has been felt by many.

    One of the first questions I asked here was why I go from kicking butt for
    a week, then zero. Then back up. They gave me the same advice as my
    first lines above. I didn't believe them and I got slapped around.

      Thanks Paul. I am frustrated because my visitors to the site keeps growing and I was getting more and more clicks but then it stopped and it has been for 5 days now. I wasn't sure if something I have on my site is blocking the clicks or what. I thought I was on the right track as I have learned so much here.

    Unless you put in the wrong AdSense ID, the clicks should be registering properly. This means you're just not getting clicks, which is okay. Keep in mind that lots of people simply don't click on ads.. especially if they LOOK like ads. For example in the site in your signature, you might get a better clickthrough rate if you changed the colors on your AdSense ads so they looked less like generic ads and more like an integrated part of your site. You can change colors when you create a new ad block.

    But another thing to note is that impressions don't always equal clicks.. I have had days where I got 300+ impressions in one day and got 0 clicks. It really depends on luck on some days.

    Good luck!

      I was just wondering if my theme was causing this or maybe a plugin. I just don't want to be loosing possible clicks because of something I may have done. I will try to be patient I just found it kind of odd that all of a sudden after some daily clicks that there has been nothing for six days.
