    Hi,
    My adsense account was banned because someone abusing my website, refreshing the page all day long and clicking my ads.

    Now I will try open 2nd adsense account using friend's box address. But what to do if someone will clicking my ads again and google will ban me again?

    Does exist any software for protect my adsense account?
    It could hide adsense ads after click.

    Just put statcounter.com on your site to find out what ip address is coming to your site, and then ban that ip address completely from viewing your website

    It is not fair that website owners can be banned for someone abusing their site. It is ridiculous. Google have got to introduce some kind of safe guard.

    There is still a prone on the system in the adsense, and the publisher should be aware of it

    didn't you report this to google immediately when you came to know about this click fraud? THat should have prevented you from banning i guess.

    I Have just read the thread on competitors using this technique to ban their rivals from adsense.

    i think when you found some thing like that you should sent this message to google
    hello,

    I just want to let you know that I've noticed more than usual clicks on my adsense account

    is that ok?

    I'm afraid that someone is doing that on purpose to kick me out from google adsense

    Please check it
    your name:
    your url:


    Thank you very much

    What happens when the attacker is using a mass proxy program to attack our ads?

    Use statcounter.com. You can ban certain IP's using that service.
