Yesterday, according to my analytics, for one of my pages I had 14 clicks but adsense said i only had 8 clicks. Is this stuff normal?

    It's quite normal. No stats matter except google's.

    Other programs will count any and all activity around an adsense ad.
    If someone clicks the ad, but not the title, other programs count it
    as a click. Not google.

    Google only counts clicks that get the website, and stay for a certain
    amount of time.

    I also believe that they don't give credit for various form ads, unless the
    forms are properly filled out. I could be wrong on that one.

    Google does not shave or scrub clicks. But they won't count clicks that
    are accidents.

    It's free money and google makes the rules.

    thanks, i didnt realize that they will not pay you if someone clicks the link by accident. I thought this was why everyone seems to like blending the links to the color of the page, therefore they get more clicks. but i guess in the end its not that simple
