You're doomed!

:-) Just send a quick email to Google, and hope they won't mind.

Never heard of this problem before, but if you worry about it, mail Google now and explain what happened!

Weird case, does this mean the W3C link checker is "Adsense Unsafe"?

I carefully checked my channels and the clicks don't came from the page that I've verified with the W3C validator. False alarm, sorry that I've missinformed you.
It seems that I've got a click dump, shortly before I've use W3C validator.

Speaking of click dumps. How often does this happen to you? In the last days my account shows for as most as ten hours just page impressions and after that bang! Clicks!
