Weird AdSense-related Traffic

Google DDOS?

[CheeseburgerBrown]

Okay, DDOS is a massive exaggeration, but Google has sucked over 100 MB of my bandwidth repeatedly downloading the same 24 kb file over the last three days. (I say Google because it comes from a Google IP, and the referrer is one of their advertising servers.)

This started when I put AdLinks on the page, and hasn't stopped since. The file in question is generating a 1200% increase in raw hits, but no more than normal impressions as reported by AdSense and no change in my CTR.

Still, 100 MB worth of 24 kb file in 3 days. I run a small website -- that's quite a spike in traffic. What's up with that?

Any insights would be appreciated. I've written to Google three times, but received as yet no reply.

Any insights would be appreciated.

CheeseburgerBrown, I'm guessing this post is intended for the AdSense Forum?

Yeah. My reading skills are decaying, obviously.
