Main channel clicks != subchannels clicks

    What i mean with that topic..
    I have a site. For example www.test.com. I have ads on all pages of the site and i have a channel for each url on my google account to track impressions and clicks on each page.
    For example i have the following channels (the number next are the clicks on that channel)
    www.test.com 11
    www.test.com/community 1
    www.test.com/images 8
    www.test.com/blog 0
    www.test.com/images/displayimage.php 7
    www.test.com/net.php 1
    www.test.com/org.php 0

    So as the first channel suggests i had 11 clicks on the website.
    Adding the subchannels we have: community: 1, images: 8, net.php: 1 = 10

    Where is the 11th click?!?!

    (the rest of the channels are probably not showing up because they had not impressions or clicks, otherwise i guess that they would show)

    I've had this happen so often it freaks me out. I'm wondering if there is some way for people to read my blog from other domain names without me realizing it.

    For example, if you go to www.blogspot.com you're instantly forwarded to www.blogger.com/start I wonder if my blog at dadasays.blogspot.com might also be readable from some other domain name that gets popped in from a search engine.

    I haven't found it yet, but it is possible.

    That sounds like a possible solution.. If for example someone is using a transaltion tool (i have seen from the server logs that this happens often) to translate a url of my site form English to Chinese for example and click on an ad on the translated page (which is under the tools domain and not my domain), would that cause the click to not appear on my channel?

    The 11th clicks is happen when your visitor clicking at your ads in the new window/new tab.
    That's happen to me before I disabling the right click on my site.

    As long as we're playing clean, there's no problem at all...

    they might using google cache...so they were looking at older cached version and click on one of the channel ad which isnt used by you anymore
