    Hey there,

    I was just wondering if somebody kept clicking on a website's ads over and over again, what happens?

    I realize google adsense bans you if you click on your own ads, but I am talking about somebody else we dont know.

    Could you get banned if somebody did that? Do you stop getting revenue if they click more than a certain number of times?

    How does this work exactly?

    Thanks in advance.

    Sincerely,
    Travis Walters

    If this happens, you need to report it to Google so they don't think of banning you...people have been banned because they had friends click their ads.

    Hey there,

    So technically speaking, somebody could sabotage your site like this.

    I was hoping I would not have to watch things that closely. Go figure :)

    Sincerely,

    Yes, you could be banned for it, as searchbliss said, daft people get their friends to do it, and from google's point of view, if yours is a problem,advertisers won't want to be on it, and they've got plenty of other sites in the program - they don't need you.

    Alright, well thanks for the great replies. I was not planning on getting my friends to do it. There are just a few people that do not want to see my site succeed. Long story :)

    Props for those who responded.
