    Hello,

    Today's Morning was too sad. I have got 10 visits and 7 clicks which made 5$. All the clicks were on the same site which I lanuched 3 days back. Its like someone is click bombing my site. I have sent an e-mail to Google at and I have reported the same at the CONTACT US Section in the HelpCenter.

    I have removed ads from that site.

    What all should I do now? is there any free script to prevent click bombing?

    May be they are not invalid clicks(as you earned $5), and its just someone who really like the ads on your site :)

    Yes. If google thinks that the clicks are fraudulent in nature, then the clicks are considered as invalid ones for which no money will be earned. In your case, you have earned $5 and hence no problem. But have an eye on the suspicious activity and should you find anything serious, report the matter at once to google.

    It doesn't sound like click bombing, you made $5, how often do you contact them sameer4481?

    I got something like that 10 days ago
    and I contacted google straight away
    but they still haven't replied, and no revenue has been taken away from me (I earnt about $50 from the "invalid clicks" I got, even though I'm beginning to doubt they were invalid and just genuine people :))

    better to be safe than sorry tho

    Last time i contacted them about a similar issue the reply was a confort one:

    we check those things out, and next tiem, if we dont answer, it's because everything is ok - not this but something similar.

    So, i'd say G is taking care of us, so i contact them just in a big issue.

    But if i see something weird on adsense stats and/or server stats, i just write the email, attached screengrabs and pray for the best :p

    I don't think that it was invalid clicks because you got $5. I got single click of over $3 already

    If you've earned from them, they may not be invalid.

    I've also find that if you email google support, they rarely respond with anything that warrants great suggestions. Very general and always pointing you to the TOS.

    You should be fine as long as you told adsense. If there valid you get the $ invalid you don't. As long as it wasn't you who dis the clicking I wouldn't worry about it

    Just relax,
    As you already have reported it to google, they will take care of the rest.

    the sympthons of click sabotage on your google adsense is when the CTR is above 100%.

    Wow with 10 impressions anything is possible..... Could've been natural assuming the domain is type-in.
