VERY small numbers but still more clicks than impressions

What to do if I suspect invalid clicks

Hello all,

I am not a big adsense earner but I do make a few dollars a day.

Checking stats this morning I saw one channel with a CTR 250%!

Obviously a mistake of some sorts but it got me wondering... Should I wait for it to fix itself? Or maybe even contact google?

friis,

I had similar on one of the channels and contacted Adsense support. Answer wasn't very clear, but if I understood correctly, someone did reload page from within their browser's cache and clicked ads, which did not count towards page-views, but clicks were legitimate. The numbers were very small too, like 1 pageview, 2 clicks.

Whenever you see anything in stats that rises your eyebrows, absolutely contact Adsense from your control panel, they are responsive.
