    I have a small site, that recieves a couple of clicks per day.
    I recieved 50 clicks for 100 views today, and obviously there is something wrong with this.
    I can't even see where did those clicks come from, because they are not shown on any custom or URL channels.
    Should I write to google and to what email adress?
    Should I do anything else?
    Where can I check where do these clicks come from?

    Ive never violated any of the google TOS so I should be ok

    Forget about checking where the clicks came from,
    what are you going to do with that information?
    what good is it to you. Just write to adsense support
    and tell them of your suspicions and that you intend on
    suspending your adsense campaign for a couple of
    days while you wait for their response. and take
    it from there, Tell them that all clicks should be disregarded
    for that day. since you have no logs to see which ones are legit.

    Contact adsense and tell them you suspect you were "click bombed".

    It will only take them a couple of days to ban your account.

    I suggest you contact Google here

    google.com/adsense/support/bin/request.py

    Choose "Invalid Clicks or Unusual Account Activity"

    I was wondering...what if you get say 500 clicks a day, and someone clicks your ads 50 times?

    That's obviously 50 invalid clicks, but will google punish you? I mean there's no way for you to know it was a single person and not 50 different people.
