How Google Detect Clicks

How Google Detect Clicks?


IP Address
If the AdSense click is originated from the same IP Address as the one used for accessing your AdSense account, your account is flagged.

Cookies
Most home users do not use static IP Address for Internet connection. In most cases just disconnect and reconnect will give you a new IP Address. But don’t forget, Google has set cookies on your computer.

Other Google Services
Thinking that you are safe just because you do not access your AdSense account? Think again. This time, consider these: GMail, Google Earth, Google Calendar, Google Search, Google Toolbar, Google Talk, Google Sitemap, Google Desktop, Blogger, and so on, and so on. With the wide range of services they provide, Google can trace the originator of most (or probably almost all) clicks.

Click Pattern 1
Oh, why this computer / IP address / person is so trigger-click-happy on this particular website but never click on the ads on other sites?

Click Pattern 2
And why is it that people accessing these sites direct (type-in URL or from bookmark) tend to be very active ad-clickers compared with those referred from search engine or other sites?

Click Pattern 3
And why the ad-clickers like to hit and run, compared with non ad-clickers that surf a few pages before leaving?

Click-Through-Rate (CTR)
Your CTR may range from 0.5% to 10%, but if it exceeds a certain point (probably around 10%), you are flagged.

Geo-Location
Used Urchin (Google Analytics) before? Then you should know that Google can trace traffics origin down to the small town. Different IP doesn’t mean much. Unless you site is really targetted to one small geo-point, a high number of clicks from nearby location will get you banned quickly.

Hardware address?
MAC address of the LAN card, modem, and router works almost like a fingerprint. I’m not sure if Google can track this, but probably they do. They have rocket scientist, remember?

Advertisers conversion rate
Ad click is one thing. But does it bring value to the advertisers? If none of the clicks on your site translate to conversion to the advertiser, you are in trouble. First the Smart-Pricing hits, then your AdSense account disabled.

Search Engine Ranking
Your website is not indexed on any search engine, not linked by any prominent website, but get consistently high traffic? That sounds like something is in play. Regardless of whether it is an adware-embedded software, spam, trojan clickbot, or intentionally installed click-exchange network, it doesn’t sound right.

Webpage design
How about the “click here” or “support us”? Google has the best search engine in the world. Is it really that hard to find those words?

Combo
Each of these detection methods might seem rather weak. But combine them together, and not many click-fraud can pass-through these filters. Even the smartest clickbot will have a hard time.

In short, it is almost impossible to cheat AdSense in the long term. Instead of spending time, money, and effort trying to outsmart Google.

 

Are you trying to get hired by the click-fraud detection department?

I'm brand new to adsense and was wondering how google worked out that it wasn't you and your friends just clicking on your own site's ads all the time - so it was defintely a useful post for me

 

Wow, think google might be coming for me right now. Thought I was helping the peeps out. Turns out I'm just getting them flagged. Oops! Nice post curved my evil ways.

 

Thank you for such information...It is very informative.

 

Nice post.

 

It's easy to cheat them through a organised plan..

Suppose if you have a network of 50 persons from all over the world clicking your ads nobody can detect it...

 

Show appreciation for such in sequence ....
Great Information here !!!!

 

well i can say you are thinking out of the box mate
but its pretty difficult to organise this type of plan isn't It? :d

 

I have done that twice and paid by google

 

I guess people can always organise such schemes but it it really worth it? I mean most stuff is only around $20 - $40c a click right? I'm not sure it would be worth going to all that effort for a few blackhat click bucks...

 

That's pretty useful information. I usually click on a click just to test if it's working.

 

Thanks for your input...Google is very smart to anticipate scammers.

 

Thanks for sharing these important points with us.

 

Thank you for your informative thread. I knew first three, others are new for me.

I assume everyone here already know about this. this kind of tips is everywhere on the internet. well, thanks for the post anyway.
