I couldn't find a more appropriate forum for this post, sorry.

I have a bit of a concern. I check my stats every day on one of my sites, and this month, I have been typically getting around 160-170 unique visitors per day, and making an average of $3.00 per day on adsense. This morning, I checked on my stats, and they seem to have gone off, showing nearly 1000 unique visitors, only trouble is, my adsense went down yesterday to below $2.00. So the conclusion that I came to is that these stats aren't correct, but I can't figure out why they would be off.

Here are some screen shots:

I don't have any DB's that I need to worry about, and no forms to fill out on the site, but it just seems to me that someone is either trying to hack my site, or somehow one of those visitor boosting programs got ahold of my site some how.

Does anyone have any ideas as to whats going on?
