    And it would be pretty obvious once I reveal my stats for yesterday.

    Page impressions: 710
    Clicks: 3,491
    Page CTR: 491.69%

    Anything I can do to encounter this? I have e-mailed Google just 2 minutes after I realized the sudden up in my clicks. From valid clicks though, I earned 0.26 $...

    Cheers

    I would remove the adsense code ASAP, or remove it from the Allowed list until adsense team answers you.

    You need to remove adsense until google replies.

    that stinks. I had something similar hapen to me but a lot less clicks. Around 100 clicks in a short while. I wasn't paid for any of them so I did not e-mail Google. Hope your situation turns out ok.

    Are those stats for only one site?

    I had that happen to me 3 weeks ago. Someone clicked 78 times in the matter of an hour on a mortgage site of mine. Google never paid me for them of course, but I thought I would surely get banned for it. I didn't email them or anything about it because I figured if they believed it was invalid clicks on my part, they would let me know quick enough. But, they never said a word. So, my take is that Google knows when it is some idiot just clicking on ads and they just take care of it on their end. So I think you will be fine.

    I hope you already send mail to adsense support...No one can say whether you will get banned or not

    As has been suggested here, email Google and hear what they have to say.

    Chances are you won't get banned if you let them know about this happening.

    You have done nice thing by mailing goolge so that they can understand the problem.
    It will be ok and let us know what is the response from google team when it comes.

    I not sure whether it is advisable to email your website traffic stats to Google(if you are having their ads on 1 domain only). You sure that you're banned?

    Did you receive email from them?
