Why do I have a link to spam site as a "click" on my stats?

  Hi — Today on my stats, there’s a link that I didn’t put in. It goes to this: http://allhealthalert.com/uk/weight/index-m.php, but the address is a mouthful, beginning with “ads.mopub.com/m/acklk?hourly=0&c=agltb3B1Yi1pbmNyn…”

  I have manually checked every link in every post viewed today in hopes of finding it. All the links are working properly.

  Any idea where this is coming from, and why, and what might be going on, and whether someone is actually connecting to this site somehow from my blog?

  Thanks in advance for your help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there, I’m double-checking for you, but it’s likely that the link is from one of the ads that we placed on your blog.

  We run limited ads on your blog in order to keep free features free. (You don’t see them when you are logged into your blog on WordPress.com.) If you would like to completely eliminate ads from appearing on your blog, we offer the No-Ads Upgrade: http://support.wordpress.com/no-ads/

  Hi Jenia – Thanks for your response. I hadn’t noticed an ad on my blog.
