USD 1.99 Earning Per Click

Normally I will log on to my Google Adsense account once or twice a day to see the daily earnings, page impressions and clicks.

The average earning per click would be at around 5 cents to 50 cents, sometimes I got USD 1.00 per click, where I actually though this shall be the maximum earning per click in the Google Adsense program.

To my surprise, I have made an earning of USD1.99 per click yesterday. This is the record earning for me so far. I guess it must be contributed from one of my blog where it generates high earning per click since it was indexed by Google, Yahoo and MSN search engine.
