Got ClickBombed, lost 420$ and an adsense account

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by ahp33, Aug 10, 2007.

    Hello,
    At the end of July I subscribed to google adsense (I tried Oxado before that but I was gaining like 1 cents per click).
    I was making about 45$ per day on Adsense, with around 130 clicks per day, around 100 000 impressions per day and a CTR of 2%. One day, my clicks went from 130 to a thousand. Same thing the next day, I am about to send an email to google (I was searching contact box on their website), when suddenly I receive an email : Google Adsense account disabled! I am pretty sure someone did it on purpose, as I banned some people from my website. I send an email to google explaining everything to them, but I still got no answer.
    I can try doing it again: buying new domain, changing address (sending it to a friend), and creating new adsense account. But what is the point if I will get click bombed and banned the same way??
    Is there any way I can protect myself against that?
    If someone has any good solutions .. Thank you

    I think there is a program out there that doesnt' allow the same IP click more than twice. Some member will mention it probably in a while.

    The problem is that program is a google adsense TOS violation.

    ahp33, you need to try to contact google more times and try to explain that it's not your fault. But once an account is banned it's very difficult (i would say impossible) to reactivate.
    You can try other things, different from adsense.

    I programmed my website to see as many things as possible on my website, I can't check who clicks on Google adds, but I saw some strange ips on my website, like for example a list of ips like that:
    90.5.65.1
    90.5.42.6
    90.5.78.1
    etc..
    all starting the same.
    The probleme is I can't ban a specific IP as they change, and I can't ban everyone from 90.5 that would ban some other people.
    I send 2 emails to google the same day, I got banned last monday, and I still have no answer.
    I would prefer staying on google adsense if possible (they pay good), does someone know any other program like adsense that pays well? (And in Europe too if possible)

    Can you post a source for that claim? I know that thousands used adlogger without being banned.

    Is there any way to program something yourself that would see which IP clicks on the ad? So that I could block 24 hours the same IP that clicked on the ad. I could just hide an ad from an IP after it saw once the ad, but I won't have any proof if the IP clicked or not, so i'll probably loose a lot of money. But better making 10$ a day with this system than getting 45$ a day and getting banned at the end of the month :/.

    i am on my third email to google asking them to reactivate my account. They do not seem to really care though, so you cant get your hopes up.

    i am using bidvertiser now and they seem to be doing well for me, however you need to get them all the info about your traffic. i sent them my exported analytics pdfs which they accepted as a valid proof of traffic and my first payment is supposed to be deposited to my paypal account at the end of this month, so i am keeping my fingers crossed

    AdSense is still superior but the better the program, the more people try to cheat it, and other honest publishers get screwed because of some unfortunate events

    I recommend you get all the traffic reports from your site and send them with your appeal.

    Banning IPs is not a solution this can happen to anybody... so google has to improve... on this point and check whether the publisher is doing clicks or not... and they can also do this... if they see a forge clicks or fraud clicks they could just take the earnings for that click i think that's not a big issue for google... and its just a simple code which will do this and ban this ip to produce a click for a month... so if any one having a "click bomb" virus they can be rest assured... with the quality...

    But i think this will solve the problem and no body will have any point to discuss google on forums about adsense.... :D

    google are a bunch of useless crooks. I emailed them and even showed them proof that some prick made an exact copy of my website with same domain name (.info) and he was the one that sent the invalid clicks which lost me over $2000. I swear only if I can find this prick wow what I would do to him/her.

    My advice: Move on.

    There is no way you reactivate your account. They banned my account for same reason. I sent them email and explain them but they reply they will not reactivate it. I sent them again email next day they reply sending repeat email will not reactivate you account.

    The only solution is to make another account with different name.

    I wonder why Google can't let us to see, Who clicked on ads and remove clicks if they looks fishy. It would have saved their valuable advertisers money and publishers accounts too. They spend billions for other things but why not spending few hundred thousand to develop something like Adlogger by their selves.

    Hmmmmm, why is that, did Google ban the program from being used or something ? or for the nature that it could be avoided easily by clicking and holding CTRL in firefox without the page being reloaded ?
