0 Page Impressions - 2 Clicks Registered

What on earth might cause this?

I just logged into my adsense account and was suprised to realize this was my best day ever (at a whopping $14, woohoo!)

I was curious to see exactly which channels were contributing to my phenomenal growth when I noticed that a certain highly lucrative and also highly spammed keyword "#*$!#*$! loans" site had received 0 page impressions and 2 clicks yeilding ~$2

My page CTR and eCPM are both at 0.00 when in fact they should be infinitely large... somewhere around a google dollars I'd assume ;)

Can anyone give me any insight as to what might be causing this "problem"?

Could somebody maybe of clicked on an Adsense block from within a cached page... thereby not registering a page impression from my site but still getting paid for the clicks? That's about all this brain can muster right now, any suggestions?

If you check your stats during the day you have to keep in mind that impressions, clicks and money are not updated in real time, nor are they updated at the same time.

You see some strange things because of this, so it's usually best to check the complete stats for a day the day after.

I posted about this saturday. After reading this post, I went back to verify that maybe the impressions had maybe not caught up yet, but alas, 1 page impression 2 clicks, for a total of almost 2 dollars

There's nothing odd about a low traffic page (one or two visitors a day) showing more clicks than visitors, as long as it only happens once and a while. Some visitors treat Adsense adds as an opportunity to comparison shop. If the click-through rate over a period of a month or so is unnaturally high, then I might worry about it.
