    Hi all,

    Since 1 week I started to receive a big number of clicks on my ads, I believe they're fake because the impression is slow and the CTR now is above 1%.

    I reported that to google, but what can i do? How can i know from where these clicks are coming from so I ban the IP.

    Please help as I don't want to lose my account.

    Thanks!

    Have you subscribed to any "buy traffic"?Some of these bots can provide fake clicks making your adsense suspended

    Report it to google is the best way. They'll probably understand.

    1.5% CTR abnormally high... That means 98.5% of your traffic does NOT click on your ads. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

    You can login to your cpanel and see the statistics and see if you can identify any suspicious ip address

    yes and simply ban that IP adress. But the others are also right by saying that CTR > 1% is totally normal if your traffic isn't crappy

    Report it to Adsense and tell them that you are willing to have any earnings revoked that were "fake". This way, you have shown to comply with their TOS and should they ban you you would have a very good leg to stand on if you decided to take it further.

    email support and then do nothing. LOL, I know, the do nothing part is hard to grasp. I had an issue almost like this and I didn't do anything and those clicks stopped registering because Google actually blocked them. Somehow their system is intelligent enough to recognize this type of issue. I think they have a human look it over to make sure it was not YOU doing the deed and they just block it out automatically.
