How could I get through click bombs?

[gerwinjz76]

I was really shocked about this thing (check out the attachment). Someone has click bombed my Google ads. Could anyone help me with this?:confused:

Report this to Google Adsense Support Team. Make sure to send them site logs (like Statcounter or Analytics logs) and supporting screen shots.

I also suggest temporarily removing the ads, to prevent any more "click-bombing".

If the click bombing continues, just remove your ads.

Interesting,

I had the same thing happen a few times, and you end up losing all your legitimate income for the day, so Google needs to be more liberal and at least pay what is earned. Seems to me they are looking for any reason to not pay us these days, must be related to their reduced profits. lol

Internet giant Google Inc.'s revenue and profits fell short of Wall Street expectations in the fourth quarter, amid slower growth in consumer clicks on its advertisements and higher fees paid to partners.

Shares in the Mountain View, Calif., company fell about 7% in after-hours trading after it reported fourth-quarter profit rose 17%, compared with 46% profit growth in the third quarter. Revenue rose 51% from a year earlier to $4.83 billion.

Investors have been anxious that a consumer slowdown could affect online advertising. Slowing growth in the number of times consumers clicked on Google's ads, which appear alongside its Web ...

I am wondering which method of "e-mailing AdSense" you have chosen? And if/what response you got...
