Adsense clicks being removed

Adsense clicks on my account are being removed. All November clicks / gains were gone.

For example, on November 12th I had 13 clicks (6.14€ gains).

Today I looked at the report again and November 12th shows 0 clicks (0.08€ gains), but views for that day remain the same.

I have a printscreen of this day (before and after) but I don´t know how to post the image here or if it´s allowed.

I haven´t received any warning and everything is ok with my adsense account.

Can you explain this?

Probably, is this a new website? how old? is it yours? I mean if you bought it recently or if it's of your own creation.

Advertising pays for different reasons, like showing the ads, someone clicking on the ads, or specific actions performed by the user (goals set by the advertiser). However, Adsense has a system of filters in order to detect if these aspects are legit, and tell the difference between clicks on purpose VS accidental clicks, otherwise people could be clicking there all they to make money. That's why the questions above are relevant, in case you are new to how this works.

I´ve been on Google Adsense for more than 10 years and this issue only started to happen in 2022.

I have 4 websites on my Adsense account. 1 of them is 10+ years old.

Clicks were removed from all 4 websites, only CPM gains were left.

I can't guess why without seeing your sites but I do recommend you disable adsense to protect your account while you figure it out. It could be just a reporting issue, have you contacted adsense to see if there is a problem?

I can´t reach adsense support. Everytime I tried it only allowed me to post a question on Adsense community. There´s no option to contact via email or send message to support

Hi cv2212 and welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]

Since you have had an active account for so long, it is possible that one or more of their recent changes might have caused this problem. It might be worthwhile to walk through their latest version of "getting started" instructions to be sure that nothing was missed.

Over that 10 years, a lot has changed. This year lots of people found they were not up to date on cookie compliance when earnings melted away. They needed to update 'funding choices'. We still see people just learning about ads.txt from time to time.
