    Google only gives you credits if somebody clicks an ad on your site. Statcounter cant track this because its controlled by google.

    You dont get paid per impression with google. The only way to know if google is not counting your ad clicks is to click your own ads and see if they get counted by google. BUT thats against their TOS, if you have been clicking your own ads already and you are not seeing them on your google stats, then the chances are that google knows its a fraud click and they didnt record the clicks.
