Why Do People Click Bomb Other People's AdSense?

Man, I keep getting click bombed! I just woke up to 5 AdLogger alerts. It seems every other day someone click bombs my AdSense ads. I always report it to G, but do you think they'll just consider me a risk a give me the boot?

 

same happened to me today, but it's the first time... in at least a week.

 

Are there any immature web masters that might consider you to be their enemy?

 

Jealousy, competition or even friends/family who know your URL and think they are helping...
There are loads of reasons, none of them good. Keep an eye on it, and report to G like you have been, and hopefully they will get bored.

Because they can...
Seriously, because they are little bastards who can't stand others doing better then them. They could use the time annoying other hard-working webmasters better with writing good content their own. Would get them a lot more satisfaction in the long run.

 

Not that I know of. I never put my AdSense sites in my sig on webmaster sites because of this.

Sadly, I don't give my sites out to friends and family. I'd like to but they might click my ads thinking they're helping me out.

I hope so, geez. I know it's not users who are doing it but other webmasters. It seems to be automated or some kind of bot because it's so many click in a few seconds.

 

This is what I have experienced. Competitors mad you have a bigger piece of the pie.

 

I do not know a lot about adsense, but could this be competitors of your advertisers comitting click-fraud? ie another widget company doing it to make rival advertisers have a decreased ROI.

 

cant you track ware the clicks come from and do a ip ban?

 

I think Adlogger is protecting you

 

why people doesnt realize that Google himself HAS to do something about it?

limit the clicks in javascript, don't pay more than 1 click per ad, etc etc.

 

It's never the same IP. They're too smart for that. Plus I don't like to ban IPs, I might inadvertently ban a whole network and lose all that traffic.

 

I get click bombed more than 50 times daily .. 50 IPS , like 2000 times among them / day .

 

It is usually a case of 'to succeed others must fail', it is sad, but so true that that many webmasters will go to those lengths to ruin your business.

 

I'm having the same problem with you.
Adlogger's figures doesn't match with my adsense stats

Maybe the figures are not correct? I don't know, still monitoring.

 

I dunno why

but people do consider u as ur enemy if u have a site related to same content specially if its famous

 

out of jealousy, competition and other mental disorder.

 

How do you cope? I would think you'd be banned pretty quick with those #'s.

 

Thats why i have removed my sig

 

My Fren,
Can you post that "AdLogger" download link here. I am also trying to prevent CLICK BOMBS on my website. Help me man...
