Today I've seen 8 clicks, all with 0.00 earnings, which means they are invalid clicks detected. Should I report them? I normally get one to three invalid clicks that I don't get any earnings from daily, so my question is, when should I report them? Only when that number becomes very large? Clearly Google has filtered out these clicks as being invalid, so should I do nothing at all? I've already read how ruthless Google is with invalid clicks, and wouldn't want to be another honest person getting the knife, so send me some useful tips.
why so many invalid clicks? black hat methods? if Google wants they will ban you without any warning. Your best bet is to take your adsense down from that page till you figure out where the invalid clicks are coming from. could be a competitor trying to get you banned... By the way welcome to DP
Thanks for the welcome. I think that's actually normal....I tend to get at least one invalid click detected by Google daily. I think they come from other countries who may be curious and can't differentiate a regular link from an advertiser link. I doubt it's a competitor though. I'm just wondering, should I report it even though Google has caught it's invalid....I would hope not because it would be time consuming to report every invalid click daily, even though Google already did the job.
Google knows what are fake clicks so don't waste their time. It probably takes them longer to read your email. if its other countries just clicking once, then Google has filtered it out and probably not deemed as fraud, but as bad leads...
Depends on where the clicks are coming from. Some countries' clicks are paid SO LOW they appear as 0.00 cents
Hello everyone. I have a question about AdSense. Let's say you had an old domain that you were auto posting other people's content to in the past that got delisted from Google. You remove the banned domain name off of the IP address used to run the domain from. You install a new domain name on the same IP address that the old domain was on that got banned, produce fresh content daily on the new domain name hosted on the IP address, and wanted to show AdSense. Do you think it's ok, now that there is a new domain name and fresh unique content hosted on the IP address that was formerly associated with the old domain that got delisted? Anyone know about this?
I tend to only report if it the number of clicks is a lot higher and clearly invalid. My sites don't get much/many clicks so it's easy for me to spot. For example if most days I get 1-5 clicks, all earners. And then another day I get 12 and some are clearly invalid (due to almost zilch earnings), I tend to report it, just to be on the safe side. With regards to the above question. It *shouldn't* be any problem. If you have shared hosting, someone else could be on the same IP address as you and, likewise have a domain with dupe content. I haven't had many autoblogs but, mine never got delisted and I know of a ton more which show in Google just fine. Do you think it could be due to another reason that the site was delisted?
