I think one of my competetior may be clicked my google ads like mad dog..so thats why my page ctr become very high..can anyone tell me how can i find out his IP address...can I protect him from visiting my site...please tell me..I am using statcounter in my site..
I think reporting it to google will help you.I think tracing the IP address is difficult.But there is a software callled Adlogger which prevents click frauds.Try it ,it may help you,It will give you info when Multiple Clicks occurs,It also can block Click Frauds
Adlogger does not work anymore and is no longer supported.. Try ClickAider or ASRep for any future funny-business & report your concerns to Adsense Support..
Sadly, I reported fraudulent clicks to Google and I got classic response saying something like "we'll monitor your account closely". Two days later I got banned from AdSense for the very same fraud clicks. I know I'm neither first nor the last person who has been banned, but Google should protect publishers too (not just advertisers or big publishers).
asRep can detect which IP clicked your ads. Also email Google about this and they will take care (hopefully). In the long run if someone continue to clickbomb your adsense account, you will get banned
I think you need to settle this done with your competitor ( The last thing you want to do ) As if this continues for long , you account is in danger even if you continuously report this to google.
Google doesn't care about small publishers. Unfortunately that's something that ain't going to change anytime soon.
Aint it the truth! A few months ago, one of the members of the Adsense Forum went psycho and started clickbombing everyone whose URL was posted. Apparently she even bragged openly about how she would do it. Well, despite all this overwhelming evidence, and despite the fact that everyone tried to warn the Adsense team, at least half a dozen good publishers got banned. Moral of the story: Click bombers always win because Google doesn't give a crap. P.S. She is still an active member of the Adsense Forum which is why I decided to high tail it over here where it's safer!!!
Kidly tell me that where do i get that software which protect invaild , bad clicks! is this any knd of script? which gonna block the bad invaild clicks? does it free ? or do i pay to get this software>?
ClickAider.com - No script, it's a hosted solution. add the code to your pages to track. It's not free, but i cant find what the cost is on their website. ASRep.com - you must install the script. Cost is $50, but they have an evaluation version that you can test before you buy.
