  2. No- Wrong. Someone needs to track every click and I.P address and report it.

    No, it is not a celebration...it is actually a concern. What happens if someone has added adsense channel to 4 sites, however, the remaining 6 don't have channels and those without channels are the ones that gotten 14 clicks.

    I am woried cause even when this is an hypothetical example, someone in the world might already break his Puerto Rican adsense earning record today.

    What would you do if the average clickthrough range from 1 to 3 clicks a day?

    This may rise concerns and speculations in the adsense department if this were to happen to anyones adsense account and barely new to the adsense system.

    Your thoughts?

    Sounds like it's time to put channels on every ad layout. ;) Other than that, it sounds like on of your visitors went on a clicking spree. He clicked, came back, clicked another ad on the same block, came back, clicked another ad, etc. It could very well get you in trouble. Maybe a quick email to Google giving them the heads up might be in your favor...

    I think the best thing to do is to delete and get the adsense websites off the internet and start all over again.

    I'm totally cluless at this point.

    there you go. that's the headquarters at Mountain View, CA .

    but if you prefer Italy Sales Office, its +39 02-6203 1000

    seriously do you really want to call Google?
    have you considered 'sending electronic mail'?

    That seems, er, kinda extreme, don't you think? And if Google has tagged you for click fraud, removing your site won't help at all. Once you're tagged, you're tagged. Why don't you try emailing them first, see what they say.

    Thanks, called... they said they don't provide phone support, only through email.

    32 impressions- 24 clicks? Yes...extreme it is. Today has been a nightmare for me even if I have NEVER click on the ads I provide.

    send Google and email and ask them if they are concerned. I have one particular page that regulalry gets 100% CTR but then again it only gets about 2 visitors a day. I really think Google is intelligent enough to know that low visitor numbers can = high CTR's but its always worth checking.
