# Earnings & Stats

> What counts as a paid click, when money reaches your wallet, and how to read the reports.

## What you get paid for

You earn on **unique valid clicks**. A click is valid when it comes from a real visitor and passes our filters; repeat clicks from the same visitor, bots, proxy and data-center traffic are recorded in stats for transparency but never paid. The per-click amount depends on the advertiser's bid for that impression, and your reports always show the final net figures.

<Warning>Sending purchased or automated clicks does not work here: they are filtered on arrival, and confirmed fraud leads to deductions or removal of the property from the network.</Warning>

## When money arrives

Earnings accrue per day. After a day closes it is held for about a week (protection against fraud chargebacks), then released automatically to your OnlyTraffic wallet. No invoices or payout requests: the ledger on the stats page shows each day's amount moving from **Hold** to **Paid**, and penalties, if any, are listed there too.

## Reading the stats

**Earnings & Stats** shows, per widget and per period: served requests, impressions, clicks, valid (billable) clicks, suspicious clicks and earnings. Two extra views help tune your placements:

* **By page**: which pages of your site actually serve and click. Useful for deciding where the widget earns its slot and where it wastes one.
* **Earnings ledger**: day-by-day accruals with hold status, release dates and running totals.

A high share of suspicious clicks on a page usually means the placement attracts junk traffic (iframe stuffing, aggressive pop scripts nearby). Moving the widget to normal content pages fixes both the share and the revenue.
