    Hi

    I will try and explain this the best i can..

    i normaly earn about $3 per day on my adsence sites.

    But for some reason over the past few days my earnings have exploded and in a crazy 1hr today 20 clicks made me over $14

    i have channels on all my sites but i cannot see were this money has been generated from as when i total up the amount of clicks in my channels and the amount overall there is a massive diffrence,

    so it looks like some one has my PUB id doesnt it???

    i have mailed google as im concered about click fraud and loosing my account :(

    Any ideas???

    Thanks as always.

    I think you had done a great job. Anyway did you check your page rank of your site or check for any keyword your site was indexed or may be 1 more thing also happened more visitors turn into customers who have clicked your ads. Anyway google will answer your questions.

    If you think someone is using your Pub-ID put on "allowed site" and it will show any non-approved domain (your sites) that you put in the allow list.

    I am getting $25 a year from some unknown website. I have no way of tracing it. Oh well, an extra $20 a year to do nothing, souns like a good deal to me!

    Don't bet on it, Adsense may be sending you a caution soon. They will sure react when such abnormal jumps occur from unknown sources.

    Use your "allowed sites" option and then only clicks from your sites will come up.

    What did Google have to say? I've found them to be very helpful when contact on such issues. It's always a good idea to give them a heads up.

    that is what I had enabled for some time... then I added another site and was not making any money from clicks for a couple of days (i forgot to add the site to the list of sites). I even emailed google asking what was happening and got a standard "do not worry, everything is being tracked properly" answer from them :)
