Hello guys, I would like to know some information and tips regarding pay per click advertising. I have a blog which i connected with Google adsense and inserted some advertise on each page. The advertise shows generally on the basis of my posting which you all know already hopefully. I know that if people visit my site and click on the ads I can earn some dollars via adsense. But the matter about which I am confused is that, if any people who have got my sites link at social media and follow the link to my site and click on the ads will i get paid? or if someone searched with the keywords which is relavent to my posts and got my site and clicked on the ads. I am confused aboit these two ways of getting click. Please fellows help me on this confusion matters.

Short answer for : clicks that arrive from social links or from search engine results both count the same to AdSense — what matters is that the click is genuine and the ad request was served normally. Ads are matched to page content and user signals, and AdSense filters out invalid clicks so only valid, interest-driven clicks generate revenue. (adsense.google.com)

Clarifying what “genuine” means (important given ’s point): self-clicks, asking people to click, incentivized clicks (paid-to-click), automated/bot clicks, and layouts that cause accidental clicks are treated as invalid. Repeated or unusual click patterns can trigger adjustments, limits, or even account suspension. Treat any sudden spikes or unusually high CTRs as suspicious and investigate. ()

Practical steps (builds on ’s Analytics hint):

  • Link AdSense with Google Analytics and use the Traffic Acquisition / source/medium reports to see whether clicks came from social, search, or elsewhere.
  • Tag social links with UTM parameters so each post or network is identifiable in Analytics. Example:
https://example.com/post-title?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=nov_post
  • Compare CTR, session duration, pages/session and bounce rate by source; lots of clicks with near-zero session time suggests non-human or low-quality traffic. Use the Campaigns & traffic sources doc and the Campaign URL Builder when creating tracking links. ()

If you find suspicious activity: do not try to hide or inflate it. Collect logs, pause suspicious paid/referral sources, and notify Google via the Invalid Clicks contact/reporting tools — Google can credit or adjust earnings and will investigate if needed. If invalid traffic persists, follow the AdSense policy guidance because severe cases can lead to account suspension. ()

This guidance answers whether social or search clicks pay (yes, if genuine), shows how to verify sources, and lists the main pitfalls to avoid.

When you add your blog site to adsense then you have added your information also. If people will visit your blog and click on these ads and visit is genuine then google will pay you for it.
