I don't know,really. I guess maybe right answer is Yes. I found something unusal with my account details when my friend accidentally click on my adsense units. I said to him to see my site and day after he said to me that he click on some interesting google units on my site. But,day after there is no click details for that units.Nothing. So,I ask him to click on my special units on my other site to see what will be happened. He did it and same again.Nothing.No clicks. All my units discrease with clicks from 1.november. So, I think maybe something wrong with google adsense program and with all kind of TOS restrictions with this program... What do you think?
It's probably cause they were invalid clicks or something. So far I have not experienced any cheating by google, but I could be wrong. So for me it's a no.
I would tend to agree with you, accidental or not it is fraudulent and Adsense being a Google company will never cheat you for pennies. They are a billion dollar company and they have their reputation to maintain.
Note that google can easily identify fraudulent clicks. It is not about clicking on different IP address but sometimes they use cookie tracking to find out whether you actually have interest on the topic that you are reading. They can also trace where you come from whether it is from search engine or direct url. All these were taken into account.
Yes,my friend... But I'm not stupid... My friend living in other country 1000 miles away.... There is no connection between us... My site is not from yesterday and I have a lot of channels to see what is happened. I really like google and I think is the best publisher service but cheating is cheating. This site use google-analitics so if google want to know who ride or write this messages they would to know.For sure. My niche "is google cheating with adsense" Is not bad ?!? So I don't think I am only one with "fraudulent clicks" hmmm... Who knows is there clicks when you don't see anything?!?
If you've proved anything, it's that Google are playing fair and not counting invalid clicks. They use metrics like the pattern of clicks to differentiate between someone clicking way at all the ad units on a page, and people looking and choosing an ad.
I would say Google cheating, because they banned publishers without giving any specific reasons especially for new publishers who will earn their first pay check. Also are you sure Google will return all the money from banned publisher back to its advertisers ? VampireXxX
NEVER! They don't have to. If adsense is cheating their publishers they can't be in this bussines for this long.
Google does not pay much for non US clicks Asian clicks pay very little or may be filtered out Google can see he click on 2 of your sites that is a connection if they don't link to each other that is a red flag if someone clicks on links from more then one of your sites and are not following links to them Google will think someone is clicking for you
why should they not count clicks.... they can adjust the price for each click just how they want it, all within their TOS
And if it was an "accidental" click, Google might be able to figure that out, too. Surely you've seen those sites that issue a pop up when you decide to click out of the site? Maybe Google has something similar in their systems.
No Asian Clicks. Really nice,fine,looking good,pretty nice clicks... And nothing.Why?I don't care for money and billions of google dolars.Yes I believe in reputation but I believe in customer support,too.All of us are customer,too.We are all media and we are important as much as advertisers.
And,my friends... Don't be scared to say anything and anywhere.Is there a TOS for that?!? I don't think so. We are free to change or choice our life and be anything,something or maybe nothing
Google is always cheating ))) Dunno guys, I think there is absolutely no actual way of knowing the exact connection of adwords and adsense and the percentage google pays.
A cousin of mine was genuinly interested in a ad on my site, He clicked it from his own pc, Yet I didnt get paid for the ad, And I dont want no bs about google broke into my MSN conversation and assumed that because I gave my cousin the URL they assumed I told him to click it... That was a "cheat" from google imo
