    I would argue that they are invalid clicks, whether you know it or not..

    Email Google, i'm sure they'll set you straight with whats going on

    Could be CPM ads as well. Though I'd expect with 128 impressions you would have made 1 or 2 cts.

    Nothing. Absolutely nothing. If it's CPM then that screenshot is expected behaviour.

    One way or another they may have been flagged as invalid clicks or potentially invalid clicks and up for review by a human. It is unlikely you will be paid for the clicks since they weren't charged to the advertiser. It's just how it goes with adsense - you could have someone viewing your site, clicking an ad then using the back button a few times so the ctr is ridiculously high - bang! Trips an algo filter and is flagged as invalid clicks. End of story. No payment. No fraud either but no payment.

    You can contact adsense if you really feel you must but that's what you'll be told.

    Oh, btw, the image of your stats is in breach of Google's TOS since it shows the ctr - you may want to change that ;)

    i can honestly say that CTR is not one of the things that trips an algo filter, i have a sites where sum days (when i acutally get any traffic) the CTR is over 200% and i have never seen a click without any earnings

    well it should be invalid clicks or google put you under CPA instead of CPC.. not sure if that happened..
