Strange clicks

I just noticed a page on my site with only 1 view today with 7 clicks for a total of a 700% ctr. Anything I should worry about here?

After reading the recent post about the guy who got banned after contacting google it makes me nervous to contact them. I'd say over the last 4-5 weeks I've contacted them 1 per week about such strange things.

Sometimes I have this too. A page with only 1 impression but for example 4 clicks in one day.
But the next day it's like 100 impressions and no clicks. As longs as it equals out in the long run, there is nothing to worry about.

yeah it's gone down to 266% now...another click and a couple more impressions. However 266% is still awefully high and it makes me nervous! This page doesn't usually get many impressions. Guess I'll just hang for awhile and see how it develops.

Visit the page once or twice yourself and... voila.

yeah thought about that but then I figured Google was even more likely to notice me there and think the clicks had something to do with me. Think I'll stay away from that option.

You may be just experiencing some stat delay somewhere, mine are often all over the place

um, adlinks?

the initial click is worthless, the user clicks on the ad from there and goes to advertisers web site, clicks go back, and chooses another advertisers website...200%CTR one adlink clicked from your site, multiple advertisers visited.

Most likely your click stats are updating ahead of your impressions, it's nothing to worry about. And it's not unheard of that visitors click more than one ad on your site.

It's the numbers at the end of the day that count.
