Do you ever experience spike in clicks?

    My site has been up since January 7th, so almost a month now. My average clicks per day has been.....zero. I got maybe 2 or 3 clicks total, and I think it might have been a friend who was checking the site out.

    Anyways, all of the sudden today, I have 8 clicks so far at an average of 36 cents per click.

    Unfortuneately, awstats does not report referrers correctly for me, so I can't tell where my visitors are coming from.

    I will have to see if this happens again tomorrow...anyone ever experience this?

    Well, I have. My blog posts sometimes will be linked by other blogs. I then will get a lot more traffic and more clicks.

    As long as it is legit and you haven't gotten friends to click for you or anything I don't think you have to worry about Google cracking down on you.

    yes, i have. sometimes there's 6 or 9 clicks, and then back to the normal zero or 1. really puzzling, i admit.

    happen to me once in the early days. was having about 4-5 clicks/day and on one day it went up to 21 clicks. i panicked and asked google to take a look at it. they told me they checked and found nothing, so it's alright.

    just be sure none of 8 comes from you. :) (i'm sure none is though)
