    Hi guys I have found 9 clicks on single channel with just 7 impressions (its also deep link)
    google does not give any money for it but I am worried that contacting them and telling about situation is necessary or not?

    If yes then how to contact?

    Thanks!

    I would say you contact them & tell them. In the other case, if you don't, they might think that YOU did it. Also, this might be a one-off incident.

    Why contact them??? They have millions invested on their Adsense Technology and it can detect invalid clicks. Let it be.

    If it is an occassional surge in clicks there is no need to worry, but keep checking the stats, if you find it recurring then send adsense an email regarding that with the log details to keep yourself safe

    First time I got this much click on that page.
    I think I should not contact them as google considered them invalids as well because no money was given for those clicks... but still contacting them would be more safe?

    Yes, you should contact them and let them know. Google guys act like Gods and ban you forever if you are found guilty later!

    No need to contact them. If there's any invalid click activities, they will know it before you.

    Sending them an email (to let them know of invalid clicks) can save him from receiving an email from them (to let him know of ban due to invalid clicks)? ;)

    This happened to me too. I had 5 clicks on one site but I received $0.00 for it so I know they know the clicks were invalid. I don't think I need to report because they obviously already know about it, right?

    Maybe those are perfectly fine clicks.
    You can't be sure.

    Anyway, no need to report anything to Google, if they think those were fraudulent clicks they will just ignore them and you will not be paid for them.
