    How do you know it was one person clicking (its impossible to tell that through adsense)? Unless it was you clicking them. Whats the CTR on the website and normal page impressions? The reason I ask is because you said it brought in "Good money"..

    Might not be a bad plan to notify Google and ask their opinion. Though I don't think one instance of this is going to get anyone banned. I like to believe they look for a "pattern of abuse".

    Just a side note. Before I had an adsense account and when searching hard for something with no results I have clicked on as many a 4-5 ads in 20m or less. Now these were ads displayed on the Google search page and not on a site.

    So I don't think it is out of the bounds of reason for this to be legit if your site and the targeting were on the money.

    Adlogger sometimes shows incorret clicks.

    It shows whenever someone have " mouseOver " the ad and count that as a CLICK.

    Once more, you CANNOT take what Adlogger say as gospel. Please, guys, get this through your heads -- NOBODY can tell you how many clicks you actually got besides Adsense because Adsense is the only one with access to their codes and the stats within; everyone else is just playing guessing games.

    I use Adsense tracker and I see several IP's with 4 or 5 clicks. Six wouldn't be a surprise. You might want to report it but check things occasionally so you know what is normal. I'd be interested to see Googles take on 6 in 15 minutes.

    I have a mass clicker that has visited my site almost every day for the last 2 months. Google is aware of it and has all their info. I'm guessing it is a rival or something...not really sure! They monitor my account now and deduct invalid clicks. I really don't get why this person keeps at it??? Maybe they'll realize they're wasting their time eventually.

    It's probably best to contact google as soon as possible.

    Don't rely on Addlogger, it's not really accurate.
    If you see something weird in your AdSense account (big increase in CTR for instance) I think you could start to be worried about. But if you want to be safe, you can mail AdSense and explain us the situation.

    check your adsence account and see if you actually got the clicks

    if you right click a ad adlogger also counts that as a click you can try it yourself

    ive had 2 from the same ip but nothing more

    I think do not report. May be that person using Dial up connection which comes with Dynamic IP. If you know his IP exactly than you may.

    Aye - adlogger is pretty bad at counting clicks especially if you have long banner ads around the middle of your page.
