give it time Adsense catches up eventually, BUT you may start noticing you get more in the adsense cp than adlogger shows, I think its to do with IE7

EDIT also remember adlogger doesnt know whats an invalid click, so you will probably always have a different count

Also AdLogger is registering clicks when should not. For example it could registers click when surfer right-clicks an ad (to see real target url for example). Also it may register same click as 2 clicks, etc. So adlogger stats will never match your adsense account stats.

I see, it just seems strange that it is that far out. I usually should expect around 20 clicks, which adlogger is reporting, however adsense hasn't registered any of them.

Strange.

Thanks for your replies.

If G deems a click invalid for any of the many reasons it deems them invalid, that click may not show up in your Adsense account, even if Adlogger says there's been a click.

you can also check in adlogger the IP of the click why not look and see if there are many from one IP, adlogger also reports if someone clicks so many times in so many minutes that you setup in the admin area

Yeah i know, it just seems strange that 20 clicks would be deemed invalid...if that's the case then that's the case i guess...

I think it was 20 clicks from 13 IP's...

Could it be the time zone difference that makes Google's reports appear to be less than Adlogger's?
I don't think that Adlogger uses Google's time zone when adding up the day's clicks.
If your server is in the Eastern Time zone, your midnight will be three hours ahead of Google's midnight. So clicks that occur between midnight and 3AM in your time zone will not be included in the current day's Adlogger stats.

I am utterly disgusted with adlogger.

V1.2 was great, it flowed along with google and gave me great data. 1.4 is a dog.

Sure you get lots more data, but the cost is statistics so wildly out of balance with google that the program is worthless.

The program seems to record a click on link units as well as many forms of random hits, where there is no data loaded except for IP. Is it a mouseover or something else triggering the 'click'?

I have tried repeadly go get help in their forums with many complainers of the present system and absolutly no help to rectify it.

It would be easy to fix, just filter out rogue clicks from the db, or stop counting them.

Developer changed javascript event handling a little. One line of code.

File: adlogger_tracker.php
v1.23: window.addEventListener('beforeunload', doPageExit, false);
v1.4: window.onunload = doPageExit;

Feel free to change it back to revert to 1.23 event handling.

BTW, those using adlogger could speedup it by adding indices to mysql database. It would make ip check work much faster and lower db load.

adlogger is kinda useless.

first in firefox if you go over the ads it count 1 click.

also its no very compitable with ie7

and hundreds of other bugs..

I disagree, sir. If the fault comes from the excess of reporting and not lack, you can give it a use. For example, is more easy to identify the low paying ads-blocks, you can search the clicks ips in stats and see how they behave... remember at least you should have the ips of almost all clicking visitors. Use your imagination to increase this list ;)

It gives WRONG report!
did you ever used?!

In firefox a "hover" counts a click.

Thanks so much joelgreen!

You are the only person after a week of trying to fix it that has given any information on how to repair the program.

I really appreciate it.

My solution was to wrap the following code in ppc_click_logger.php.

Its now underreporting, but hey, the data is much more useful!

add this line below
if (!empty($ad_target)){

// Go ahead and insert all that information into a row in the database
mysql_query("INSERT INTO " . $db_table_prefix . "adcheck_logs SET
timestamp ='$timestamp',
visitor_ip='$visitor_ip'

down to

$result_id = mysql_insert_id();
}; //end new
