Deductions from earnings FAQs

Your earnings may include deductions for various reasons. Google may adjust your earnings if it detects invalid clickactivity in your account or ad implementations that are not in compliance with AdSense policy. We encourage you to review the policy and traffic quality guidelines to learn more.

Google may also adjust your earnings if it cannot collect payments from advertisers whose ads were displayed on your AdSense content, including but not limited to sites, mobile apps, etc. These advertisers may have used stolen credit cards or otherwise defaulted on payments. Google works diligently to ensure that these instances are rare in order to maintain a safe ecosystem for users, publishers and advertisers.
