AdSense Fraudulent Reports

This is a heads up for everyone to double check their AdSense reports. I just noticed that the reports were stating totals 40% less than the real totals. I added up my clicks manually and found a big problem. This issue goes back pretty far, so I have been generating much lower revenue than what has actually occurred.

In the meantime, I contacted Google support (which is like sendng a message in a bottle). Maybe if the tides and winds are in my favor I will hear a response in a couple of months.

It has been one week since I have emailed the Google AdSense team to help with the errors. So far, there has been no response. I am still getting a 40% underpayment.

To be more specific, the reports are only totalling the clicks and revenue from my home page and ignorring the clicks and revenue from all of my other pages!

If there is anybody out there that knows how to contact Google, please let me know.

Meaning there is some "unhonest" business going on.
A) On 1 side the offer to get paid by click on link
B) On other side paying people to click on link

A - B = Controled and fabricated benefit

You told us that you compute your clicks manually... Can you share the formula for manual computation?
