Basically the number of individual clicks in Click Performance Report is higher than the number of reported clicks in Criteria Performance Report.
We compare the number of entries in Click Performance Report, that refer to a specific (CampaignId, AdGroupId, KeywordId) and falls inside specified date range, to the sum of Clicks values from Criteria Performance Report, for the same filter parameters.
(also tried adgroup and campaign levels, getting the exact same results as the criteria level described above)
We see a difference for a all of our clients, checking different time ranges, and the proportion of "lost clicks" is generally about 3-5% (~9% for one smaller client).
Is this normal, and how should we interpret this?
Thanks!
