MBL shows about 10x the amount of clicks that I actually get credited for in Adsense. I’m not sure what the problem is either.

I found an old achived post about this on Problogger, but no answer as to why there are such discrepencies. Since installing MBL, I have not seen any of the Adsense clicks it monitors, pass over to, and show up in Adsense. Some sort of click-fraud to hurt the competition maybe? Also, I'm just not sure what to make of the Ad tracking by MBL... does sound a bit dodgy. I will probably delete MBL unless I find some good answers and reasons to keep it.

Even if it's helping, like you described, it still makes people nervous/edgy to have something poking around in your site.

You know a lot more on this subject than I do. I admit all this was over my head, but I just didn't see a problem with MBL tracking ad clicks when they were actually displayed in my log! Thanks for all this additional info. I really appreciate that response, Andy. You know a lot more on this subject than I do.

I would say the tracking isn't finished yet, by a long shot, but I am also sure that that is something that will be easily addressed. Ad clicking works for all accounts not just pro, I just posted a screenshot to clear up any doubt. People were using 3rd party tracking services and scripts well before Google owned Analytics, and analytics can only track adsense if you use a 3rd party script, the same one pointed out by DDN, and you can get modified versions that work in all browsers and work for YPN and Chitika. Yes you can track YPN conversion with Analytics... actually since 2005 - where is the big scandal? It never happened As far as I know there isn't a solution available that is 100% secure without some kind of competition clash or security problem. If you run scripts (I own 4 different ones on different servers), you are liable to being hacked. If you use a service, they have access to your data, and there are other services that every blogger loves that not only track adverts, but the owners have a financial link to a monetisation service. Then you have niche competitors, lots of people who run these services also have their own sites. Did you trust Performancing? Performancing had the same data and were effectively blogging competitors. (Yes I trusted them) People need to do some real research before jumping on these hackbait bandwagons. That is no disrespect to you Matt, you have the data you have available and reported it honestly.

Definitely a thing to be worried about. Well well was a little taken aback when I read about this posting on MBL. Definitely a thing to be worried about.
