Longtime Adsense Publisher woke up to this today. Stats screwed up?

49 clicks 32 cents? This is the worst I have ever seen when checking in the morning. The CTR was not unusual, but since I average 12 cents a click and see this I am wondering if something is up?

I had some psycho on my website yesterday and I wonder if the two are connected.

 

u can use good keyword its help

 

Correction. Checked and my CTR jumped through the roof yesterday. I am sure the person we had to remove from our site is click bombing us. I have since banned his IP from my server.

I just reported it to google, but it is almost as if google has already done something to my account. Like the decided not to pay me for clicks. In 4 years I have never seen anything like this.

 

You might want to observe for about 1 week time to see if this continue.

 

Dont worry!!! coz I've faced same problem last month

 

Ok it is getting worse now. 57 clicks 7 cents.... my earnings are now decreasing each time I look. It appears google is taking action on my account of some sort. I have never seen anything like this in 4 years. I have emailed them and I do not know what else to do?

 

Ok now it is 57 clicks and 1 cent...lol

Since I have never seen anything like this I can only assume it is bad news. Maybe I should have never emailed google to report the suspicious activity and just left things alone.

 

Pray to the Google God for forgiveness. Perhaps sacrifice a lamb.


Seriously, though, we all know how long Google takes to reply. So all you can do for now is wait and see if your PPC improves. If it doesn't...

 

Blah blah, can't you just remove adsense for some time?
I doubt the idiot who is doing it is a regular visitor of your site.

 

Sure, I will remove 5,000 pages of google ads on my lunch break...lol

 

Oh I forgot people still insert ads by hand into each page.

Maybe time to evolve from the 'stone age' and start using cms + ad serving platform.

 

ORZ thanks for all your helpful comments

 

how to use keywords? gimme the script..is it valid as per TOS?not to edit ads code..
but in keywords we put keywords in code right?and for that we need to edit codes till i think

 

Actually from the looks of things Google is allowing my ads to run and just no paying me. 80 clicks 1 penny earnings today so far. Since I have been a AdSense publisher for almost 5 years and never had a problem it is ashame to see one psycho do me in. I have blocked the IP's of probably half the State of Texas trying to keep this guy off my site since discovering what he was doing yesterday.

He was hammering one of my ad units over and over again based on what my channels show for clicks. I see his IP all over my logs but cannot read the logs well enough to see what he was doing. He was clicking ads.

So after emailing Google AdSense twice I will sit back and wait for my letter telling me I am banned. If not banned now this guy will just keep coming. I even traced his phone number, address, and know his name. This shows me just how little control I really have over my account which has brought my family $750 a month average for the last 5 years. One Ahole is all it takes

 

Keep us updated cause this is getting really weird.

 

maybe you have adsense CPM ad assign automatically by adsense-bot to your website..thats why you get low earnings..

mabuhay! hehehe..

 

Not sure $750 a month is considered low earnings but thanks for your input. I was click bombed plain and simple

 

There is scripts that only allow a set number of clicks by the one person, then it won't show Adsense for them anymore basically eliminating this problem. But considering you manually added Adsense to thousands of pages this is a problem.

You really should of used an include in your pages to reference the the Adsense ad from a single external Javascript file. Yes you "can" do it on your lunchbreak, you can do a bulk find/replace from the server command prompt or you can download your site, do a find/replace in all files with a Windows tool and reupload.

5 minute job.

 

ues you are correct napaka ganda thats to good of an earning to just gamble losing it, if you know who the user is then try to ban them from your site even if u have to ban their isp, i dont really think people can do this to each other , otherwise people would do that all the time to sabotage their competition

 

yep
most likely
