The click and earnings data are sometimes out of sync, it can take a little while for the 2 figures to ballence out.

It has happened the past few days though. I have been receiving 2-3 clicks with 0 income! Are the forum clicks that worthless? Or do you think something is going on?

I installed vBulletin for the first time and used the embedded Advertising setting.

I would turn that setting off. Obviously something is wrong here, and until you figure out what it is, you don't want to risk losing your AdSense account.

If you're consistently seeing clicks with no income, that means there's something wrong - probably with your traffic. Forums are not typically great earners with Adsense.

First thing I would probably do is turn off any auto settings, and maybe manually embed AdSense on ONE page and see if the click pattern continues. If it does, then you need to look at your traffic.

I turned it off for now. I didnt want to risk my account over this new forum. I had lots of spam the first week of installing this software. I was finally told how to get rid of spam but now I have this new issue with my adsense.
