MyBlogLog sometimes estimates I'd guess.

Anyway, nice job! If you've really gotten 46 clicks then that's probably more than I've made so far. If I got 47 clicks per 1000 impressions I'd actually be making a decent amount. My ads seem not to be visible.

Also your image isn't really visible. Resize?

I believe there was a thread before in Discussion that mentioned different MyBlogLog/Google reportings. Seeing as how Google is the authority on it I'd have to say you'd get less clicks than 46 if you actually get some since normally it's real-time. I'd guess they're just a bit slow and you've gotten at least some of those. Still, I have no idea.

Stumblers are a fickle crowd. But even normal bloggers are not necessarily going to click. Sometimes I think the increasing ubiquity of AdSense ads is going to reduce their interest for web users. I imagine Google deals with this issue by attempting to deliver ever more relevant ads, but I've seen plenty of flops too. I've also become pretty good at ignoring them altogether.

I know if you live in the USA and you get readers from other countries it's nice, but if they click your ads, you don't get any money for it either lol.
I wonder if it's like this in other countries also.
I see allot of bloggers from other countries looking for US readers. I dunno if they are going to get anything if their ads are clicked here.

Bloggers don't click adsense ads, this is the main reason why Darren Rowse and other stopped using it, takes up valuable space from good paying advertisers and you have more control over what you want to do with your site.

" bloggers rarely click adsense"

Sometimes I think blogging has come to just money now... Even though my account balance has increased. Blogging seems cheap with ads now.... blog ON!!!!

I guess you must have clicked your page many a times yourself.
I guess you should place your Ads matching to ur blog background color.

And try this :

Having the same problem. Lots of impressions with only one click showing but with Zero $0..
I also now think to focus less on adsense. I also agree this side of the Internet will not click on a Google add because they all have Google accounts however there are millions of people who don’t know. So we depend on the community to promote our links and also on the 30 million out there discovering our sites. So keep on blogging. It’s the only way. Also remember that everyday there are people out there using the internet for the very first time.

1. I can't even find your adsense.

2. If people wouldn't arrive at your page to buy something. They are unlikely to click an ad. It goes to your content and what you'll show up on search results for.

3. Traffic source, if you aren't getting organic searchengine hits, you'll get almost no clickthrough.

4. Audience, check your browser stats, Firefox users indicate a different crowd than IE users. Firefox users don't click ads as much. (And they might have ad-blocking plugins that completely stops it)

5. Time, you can have 1000 impressions and no clicks, and the next day 28 impressions and one click. Measuring over short periods means nothing. What is your total CTR over 6 months, a year. Thats the only thing that matter.

6. Forget stumble, Digg and other things, they are useless for adsense, But they DO provide a useful statistic if you want to sell adspace on your blog.

7. Learn that if you want it to be a business, treat it like one. This is work and not free easy money.

Use digg, propeller, reddit and other do follow social bookmarkings just to get backlinks, and traffic just bonus.

Honestly, there is a study before by an Internet Merketer (I read it somewhere I cant remember) that mentioned that traffic from Digg, Stumble Upon and other social bookmarks or webmasters are ad-blind as they used to see Adsense ads and usually ignoring them.

Everage Joe who not really Internet savvy using Google to search, Google to buy and everything just google, and they not used to Adsense so this type of users that usually click on Adsense.
