My idiot friend clicked 3 of my ads.

Ok I was showing my friend my site, and he clicked 3 of my ads around the same time. This is on his pc not mines so it wont look like I did it.
I just wanna make sure that this is ok. I told him never to do it again, and i really don't wanna get banned.

 

Calm down, its ok.

Just play it safe from here on, even if its bad, theres nothing you can do anymore the clicks have been made.

Just play it safe here on

 

Then whats to stop some loser from click bombing my ads.

 

Then contact google, tell them you are afraid of being clickbombed. And for them to notify you of any problem before any termination, as you are on the verge of being click bombed.

Then they'll let ya know if they have any concerns

 

the don't want to be contacted about 3 invalid clicks, just make sure it does not happen again.

 

Nothing you can do. If some people bomb click your adsense and then email G saying that you asked them to do so, you're out of the picture for good...
And there's nothing you can do...

 

3 clicks is normal...there have been times when users have clicked 6-8 ads on my sites ...Google isn't so dumb to ban anyone for 3 clicks.

In future, just make sure you don't log into your Adsense account from others' PCs.

 

I've read up on adlogger. How good is that for protection?

 

completely pointless and so way of the mark (for me) that it was a waste of the little amount of webspace it took up.

 

thats going to help your site more than hurt it.....

 

that is okay only 3 atleast it wasn't over 5 or 10. Then u r banned for shore

 

You can prevent your friend from clicking that many times again by setting the amount of clicks a single IP can have in a given period of time. Once your friend, or any other visitor for that matter, has clicked the designated number of times - your advertisements will not be displayed to them until the time you specified has passed.

 

What will stop losers from clicking anybodys ads? Everybody cannot contact google without a reason. Just leave it like it is now.

 

how do you do this?

 

Rule 1 of Webmasters: Don't tell your friends you make a living from people clicking on ads.. its a natural tendency for them to 'make you money'!

 

if he does not continue to click, i think it will not be a problem

 

Once you've installed AdLogger, click on 'Manage' in the navigation menu. Under 'Click Fraud Settings', define the number of maximum clicks for a user during a given period of time. I'm not certain what Adsense qualifies as 'click bombing', so I can't help you much with the definite figures. Knowing this system exists, though, should be consolation to many.

 

3 clicks from an IP that you didn't use to login to your adsense account is harmless. I frequently get 5-6 clicks in a few minutes from the same IP. I'm very sure 3 clicks is harmless unless you've used that computer to login to your adsense account.

 

Do they really keep track THAT CLOSELY to make sure everything is legit with the clicking?

 

Its fine if your friend do it naturally. He will be treated as normal site visitor
