How can i avoid INValid CLICKS?

Hey guys 2day i faced the invalid clicks prblm for the first time, I never asked someone to click on my ads but unfortunately someone hit 26 clicks on my ads n page impressions are only 14. I am really worried now. It took my aggregated CTR to 6.15% from 4.25%. Please help me out, how can i avoid and overcome this problem ? Will google ban me for this ?

 

Well first check IP log, you will get to know what's wrong and if you sure then block that IP. Second thing, it is everything ok for now then no need to report Google but it you still getting clicks then report them about this!

 

how to know about IP

 

Thanks for ur reply Rohit. Please tell me how can i check the IP log ? Does Adsense provides this facility ? hmmm No i am not getting those clicks now, they are still 26, what u say should i report google now or not ?

 

Put big words "Please don't Click the Ads if You Are NOT INTERESTED"

I never try before....but it may work...

 

Haha thanks for the idea, but Its in human nature that he does every that thing which he is asked to avoid , What u say now ?

 

Well you can check if you are tracking your visitors, if you are not doing it then you can use any free ones which helps to check logs. If you are on Wordpress then you can use Plugin Statpress SEOlution which gives you detail information including their exit too.

 

I am not tracking my visitors right now, thanks for the info Rohit I'll contact google if i notice invalid clicks again

 

invalid clicks are from the clicker clicking on the ads by google

 

You cant avoid it, but I would let google know about it first so they can reverse it...
Good Luck

 

If you wanna log that ip who clicked again and again your site you should to use google analytics
these service provided from google and it give you all information about your site visitor google.com/analytics

 

I am using google analytics but reports are displayed after a day, by the way i never came across the IP log option in google analytics, if u know the exact link of IP log please do let me know

 

Hmmmm please give me google customer support email

 

How Google Detect Invalid Clicks?

Hey thanks for the info Ali. Its good dude

 

I wouldn't worry about it. That's a tiny drop in the bucket compared to all the fraud attempted on google's adsense. As long as the invalid clicks are not coming from an IP that you have used to login to your adsense account, you should be fine. If clicking a bunch of ads on someones site would get them banned, all your competitors would go to your site to get you banned.

 

hmmm of course that wasn't my PC.. Thanks for the info though

 

google filters invalid clicks automatically, but if you are getting consistently invalid clicks then ban those country traffic altogether.

 

Also some time google considers auto refresh of page as invalid click as some ads are CPM ads, so avoid auto refresh.

 

Thanks for the info dear
