Is AdSense behaving weird for you?

Honestly, I cannot work Out AdSense lately. 1 min your earnings are showing £3 for an example, half an hour later that's jumped up to £8. Then you go back 20 min later and it's dropped back down to £4. It's like this for most of the day, it seems to be getting worse and I don't know why.

    its probably taking away clicks that they find to be fraudulent. Every once in a while I'll get this, if you're getting it a lot you need to be careful with how you're getting clicks. Id install a clickfraud plugin for sure.

      Fraudulent is not the word. Click fraud is not what's going on, in 99.9999999999999999%
      of these cases. Google wants to give credit to only a real, long (only they know),
      genuine, interested, beautiful click. Google has gotten better about not putting
      these out first, then taking them away. I went all day recently, then boom, a chunk
      was gone.

      You probably do not realize that it happens all the time. You would need to check
      each and every minute. If you never saw it, came back, you would not know
      it was taken away.

      I need to reiterate. It is not click fraud. It's an invalid click.

      If you are getting 100 clicks, and those 100 clicks are invalid, you need to
      worry. Most people do not fall into that category. More like 1-3 out of 100.

      No big deal. As more and more people go mobile, look for a subtle increase in
      this. Those thumbs and fingers can go awry quite easily.

    My adsense account has no problems, but I have experienced the same. I think they were just not valid clicks. I have an app on my phone to check adsese sometimes its way different from my actual adsense figures. The reason is that Google know dodgy clicks and adjusts earning accordingly.
