Over the past week clicks on my adsense ads have went up around 1000%, I've taken my domain off the allowed sites list for now. I don't know if it's a malicious person or a bot that's clicking them. Is there anything I can do about this? I'm pretty much a newbie and would appreciate any advice thanks.
Why don't you consider including some Javascript? Take a look at http://www.affiliatebestprograms.com/how-to-prevent-adsense-click-bombing-and-invalid-clicks/ for a method of preventing click bombing
It's probably your family members or friends trying to help you earn some money. I think you should contact Adsense if you can, otherwise I don't see any reason why you should worry.
Well, either way, you should use statcounter to found out who exactly has been clocking your ads. It tells you the exit links and the ip that clicked it so in the event something happens, you have logs of who was clicking and can file an appeal.
Yeah remove the ads or block the IP thru htaccess so you can get your impressions up and your CTR down a bit before you do end up getting screwed.
