These stats look a little strange, and they change regularly. Could you explain?

Fab , not trying to answer for Ed , but those look pretty normal for namedrive , I had several that looked very similar until I found better keywords.

Hi Fab,

I've had a look in your account. Which bit are you actually referring to as strange? The views and CTR seem to be 'normal' - the only odd thing being the low PPC - i.e. "$ 0.00". Well, I did say we have high payouts...
Seriously, as much of your traffic is from Israel, and as far as I know Israel does not have very high PPC, then the PPC is unfortunately going to be low when Google report the revenue to us. We do not subsardise lower clicks which means we do not have to scrimp when it comes to the higher clicks. Your '0.00' click is not actualyl 0.00, but more likely 0.008 or 0.002 for example. I know that's not much consolation, but Google's minimum cost per click is $0.01. If a click is a $0.01 click, then there is obviously not much for Google to share out...

Let me know if this was what you were referring to or if you were commenting on other strangeness.

Thanks Ed, yes it was. I can't see why Google would pay so low ppc, even from Israel, since the ads cost a minimum of 0.05 cents or more in Israel as well.
