MyBlogLog Tracks Google AdSense Clicks

This post is just a teaser, but we hate leaving people in the dark. We know that Google AdSense clicks are suddenly appearing in everyone's top-click lists. It's also immediately clear that the click numbers we record are very different than what Google is reporting to you as AdSense publishers. We can't yet be sure but, the difference appears to be the ways that Google is filtering out clickfraud.

We've wanted to be able to track these clicks for a long time, but our ability in making it happen even took us a little by surprise. We'll be filtering the AdSense clicks out of everyone's top-5 lists shortly and restricting AdSense (and other ad network data) to everyone's stats reporting pages. Please watch this space over the next 36 hours for news on a better-defined ad-click tracking service offering and what it means for all AdSense publishers.

MyBlogLog doesn't run AdSense.

Very nice post. I have both adsense and mybloglog on same blog. and i was seeing the difference in both. Mybloglog was showing me more number of clicks everyday compare to adsense and when i check those clicks in adsense, there were no record. for few days, i did not feel so much but now i am feeling that Google adsense is cheating us, I searched on google with this term "google adsense mybloglog" and i landed on your blog.

Thats something really bad from Google. They need to justify with mybloglog tracking, there is a big difference i can see everyday and i am feeling like Google is cheating.
