Is google ripping me off?
I have a pretty huge difference between what google says are my clicks and what clicktracks says. I just started my first campaign last week. Here are my strange results:

Tuesday, August 31, 2004 - Monday, September 06, 2004

Google: 297
Clictracks: 211

That is a huge difference?? Any reason why??

I realize differences in their time and my log time are 4 hours.
I also realize some clicks might not make it to my site but 86
is huge? This is at a cost of at least $32.

Here is a one day example:

Google: 58
Clictracks: 44

Can't be right??

Thanks everyone

Good thinking Bill-Gates, this part of the forum is visited much more frequently. Sorry I don't have an answer, but one of the real pros probably does... Cheers

Another Silencer!
"This type of misposting"

What are you talking about?
Looks like a legitimate question to me.

What is it that you object to?
Wrong forum? Taboo subject matter? Anti-Google comment?
Not appropriate? It is an adsense question in the adsense forum. What's your problem?

I just love forum posters who tell others to shut up.
I guess he should have gotten your approval first.
Lose the ego, you ain't the boss.

I've noticed that sometimes I have people click my link twice, back to back...google charged me for it on a lot of occassions...maybe the other company only counts clicks from a single ip...

surf-dude, this post was originally in the wrong forum, but got moved to the right forum. So, jason't comment was appropriate at the time, but not after it was moved.

Sorry
DD-
Here I go leaping to conclusions, again.
I see what you mean.
Looks like I should be the one to shut up.

Just showing my hair-triggered intolerance of any perceived intolerance.
Solution: Read more, yap less. Done.

Do your stats include Google's partners like AOL and Ask Jeeves?

The time difference probably has an effect.

Some people turn cookies off so they won't appear in the tracking stats.

my google clicks come in under a number of referrers - even when I don't syndicate. Google directory, froogle, news.

How many times does Google AdWord count same clicks from same IP during the day?
