Help, someone is sabotaging my adsense!

    What can I do to make sure google doesn't shut my adsense account down? 11 impressions and 7 clicks with a CTR of %63.64. I don't know who is clicking it and I didn't tell anyone to click my ads so I am guessing this is an act of sabotage because I noticed that google didnt credit me for all the click meaning they came from the same IP. Should I tell Google that someone is doing this before the close my adsense account?

    Unless it is happening every day, I wouldn't worry about it. I've had 17 impressions and 23 clicks before and I didn't even get an email from Google. Google monitors for click fraud and will start blocking clicks if they keep coming from the same source. Don't worry about it.:cool:

    If they ban you from Adsense for this, then that means that anyone can get anyone banned.. just by simply going to their site and clicking the ads excessively. Think about it, they aren't going to ban you or else anyone could get banned very easily. If you want to be really safe, you could tell them about it. But dude, they're not going to ban you.

    They will not ban you most likely, you can write them and tell them but I know that they will just respond with a 'blah blah thank you for contacting us but we investigate based on blah blah, you do not need to contact us everytime you see this happens' (I contacted them like this when I first started adsense a long time ago).

    Um I think you're really overacting. Anything can happen on such few impressions. Now if it was 1000 impressions 500 clicks, we would be talking.

    you can report to google .. they don't usually ban immediately but when you reach $100 they will reviews those clicks if they are coming daily.. so its better to be on safe side reporting them now.
