I'm having a weird issue on my site. Whenever a link is clicked the file is being executed twice. The only reason that I noticed this was because when I would submit a search request for keywords, I log the search in our MySQL database. The database was always saving two records (there was a time stamp and the records were added sometimes in the same second, but usually only a second apart). I knew that I was the only one on the site and that the query wasn't getting called in a loop. So I did a fopen($file, 'a') to see how many lines of code would be added and there were most of the time two lines of code added. The only way that I could get one record to add was if I ran the same search 2-3 times in a row.
So the only thing I can think of is that we have goodle ads on our site. the only thing I can imagine that's happening is that when I click the link, the javascript that's tied to the ad also follows the same link.
Any other brilliant ideas?
Should I be scared?
I commented out the code for google ads as soon as I wrote this post (and saw @cillosis suggested).
I don't have the problem anymore. It totally was Google though. This was in my apache access log every time I'd run a search.

I'm scared.....
