    This is my paranoia.......

    all my hardwork and honesty meant nothing because some guy click bomb my adsense ads that cause my adsense account being disabled.

    How to avoid this?

    Is adsense only a game of luck?

    Don't advertise your site on dp. I guess that would add 50% to your luck of never getting cbed..

    yeah the safest traffic is from search engine, but it still doesn't guarantee you safety

    I feel that adsense is like cancer

    Even if you try to live healthy and eat lots of anti-oxidant, it does'nt mean that you are guaranteed to never have cancer.

    even if you try to play it safe, it doesn't guarantee that some guy would not click bomb your ads

    The thing that annoys me most is that Adsense could cure this problem at the source.

    It's simple. If they can detect click bombing and show them as invalid clicks., why not just disallow the clicks instead?

    Another thing (possibly) is detect if the bomber has an Adsense account (check his cookies or MAC address) and if he has, ban his bloody account instead.

    that's why monopoly is bad
    If there's a PPC program that provider 10% less payout but with more sensible regulation, I'll leave adsense immediately

    I used to use an app which disabled ads based on the number of clicks from a specific IP, not much good if you get a lot of corporate users behind the same firewall/proxy with the same IP address.

    I will dig out the name and post it up.

    looks like a nice tool

    are you sure this does not violate TOS?

    It can't if it snips the ad server-side, such as on PHP level. May be in violation if hiding a div or something, though.

    it`s the big problem! do not advertise your site on public forums etc. just get only organic traffic to your site!!!

    i bet everynow and them WE ALL get click bombed...

    the difference is some of us stay in safe side, others go down. why? ask google...

    but to be safe, or try to be safe, never talk about your sites to friends/family/etc and dont advertise them in here...

    They have been doing this already, oh if you haven't heard the usual cry "OMGZ They bannz myaccntz Imma innocentz! z z!!11!!1!1!!" in here then you might have not been reading much.

    I have recieved an email from a Google rep telling me they can only do things to stop competitors from bombimg you from clicks, either they ban the mofo or they take out the displaying of ads from your site for good.

    I don't know why they do this but they just did:)
