Depending on where your visitors come from (like Digg), the people could have ad blockers and that will mean your stats are different from what google says.

I don’t know about anyone else but I am sure noticing that google doesn’t register all the clicks on pages where I have ads either. There is a huge discrepancy between the stat counters I use and and what google is reporting for clicks and for page views. A couple of hours ago my stat counters are reporting over 500 hits and google is reporting 4.

Hey man, I had the identical problem and I figured it out what was happening.

Try this: Check your mybloglog for how many adsense clicks you have, then come back to your site, let your mouse hover over one of your adsense ads, then click backspace, or somehow use your keyboard to navigate away from the page. DONT CLICK THE AD. After you’ve navigated away, check your mybloglog and you’ll have another adsense click.

Mybloglog determines clicks based on where the pointer is as the browser navigates away from the page.

I don’t think it’s possible to get an accurate count that will match what is reported in AdSense; Google is more than likely excluding clicks based on a variety of criteria, such as click fraud, duplicate clicks, smart pricing (i.e. the source of the traffic), etc. It makes sense that what MyBlogLog is reporting is accurate in terms of real clicks, but that isn’t the whole story as far as revenue is concerned.

I’ve seen the same inconsistencies, not just with MyBlogLog and adsense but 3rd party analytics also in place. Does anyone have an accurate reporting tool??

Loren, I’m confused by your final analysis.

Dom reported that according to AdSense, his traffic went up considerably but no additional clicks were reported. MyBlogLog roughly corroborated the increase in pages and showed a commensurate increase in clicks.

I won’t comment on AdSense’s stats, but I will say that it’s odd to question our click reporting for reporting numbers that make sense.
