    How is the possible? 2 clicks on each day for $0.00 and they can't be invalid clicks because I don't visit the site ever.

    Any ideas here? This previously displayed over 50 cent a click ads.

    Could they be the PSAs or Public Service ads?

    I've had this happen before on my site. Possibly a false positive in the invalid click detection code. Or maybe a valid alarm. I suppose AdSense would have a protection against somebody coming to your site, deciding he really likes it, and starting to click on the ads randomly so you'll make a lot of money. After some point, AdSense should detect it and start invalidating the clicks.

    It doesn't have to be YOU clicking for the clicks to be considered invalid.
