I just thought to try the content for the adwords for the first time since i had adwords account.

for the two days i run this campaign i got 10 times the clicks what i used to get

this is understandable as contents reach is very high

but what astonishes me is that about 40% of the clicks were received from the same publisher id website...so i am fearing some clicks...intentionally made...i have stopped contents advertising and emailed to google...

is this possible that some one website is so populsr and that effect my campaign like this?

i am awaiting reply of google for this..and your reactions too

Who knows?

Based on my experience dealing with Google, this is my guess at what will happen:

1) They will send you an e-mail explaining how these clicks could have occurred naturally, how it is not uncommon for advertisers to see a lot of clicks from one dedicated website that is on topic, and that they have a strong fraud control system in place so you never need to e-mail them because they will automatically refund any money that was lost to fraud.

2) They will not refund your money. You will never hear from Google about this matter again.

3) Within 3 days, the website that sent you all those clicks will no longer be an AdSense affiliate.

I have noticed this on some websites with overture.

There are 2 main sites where i get my clicks from. But what is weird is they are not even listed in the Search Engines.

But conversions are okay(not excellent), so i stick with it.

Are you noticing more conversion rates or better ROI?
