Subject: Re: Pamela: GadsManager is messing up my pageview counts!
Hi all,
We have confirmed that Adsense is recording a page view for each
viewport change. This is a bug, and we're looking into it.
Thanks to John for sending his stats over to us for checking out, and
thanks to the other who've reported their findings.

By the way, Steve - I clicked on an ad on your map yesterday so you
should see atleast 1 click :)
