Today (2014-10-20) I noticed that on one website of mine I got two adsense clicks without any page views. How is this possible? And should I worry about violating adsense policies?
This question is very similar but also quite different:
How can I have more clicks than page views in AdSense. The answers don't apply at all if there are no page views at all (i.e. right clicking, a user clicking more than one ad).
Here's a screenshot I just took:
Update: It's still 0 and 2 a day later. Meanwhile I'm seeing it also on another website today, with 1 click for 0 page views.
Update 2015-01-29: I saw 1 click and no page views, in the afternoon. Half an hour later it indicated 2 page views. I guess adsense might show clicks before page views in some cases.

Adsense clicks and views are not in real time (they seem to be updated at set periods through the day). Also, there is a possibility that somebody (or more than one person) loaded the page before midnight and then clicked on one of the adverts after midnight. Possible example:
User loads the page at 11.30pm.
The user's attention drifts to another tab or page (or they are interrupted by an external source).
At 12.07am, the user re-focuses their attention on your page.
12.08am: The user clicks on an advert that interests them.
This often happens when the clicks are just after midnight. The page views actually come from the day before and are attributed to the previous day.
I am an Adsense Publisher since 2006. Sometimes Adsense is giving a not so updated figure, just wait for 24hours and you will see you have a page views
