6 Clicks From the Same Person

    Hello, I was checking my AdLogger just now and found that someone clicked on my ads for 6 times in 2 hours+ time. Should I email AdSense for that?

    I suspect they already know. Adsense monitors everything.

    I know they know it, but an email will show that I'm innocent. If not, they might think that it is me who click or call my friends to click it. I love my AdSense account.

    Why will an email show you are innocent? Maybe you went to a friends house and clicked all your own ads? Emailing Adsense doesn't prove you are innocent, it just shows you are worried about getting banned.

    When I email them, I say that I suspect fraud clicks - and wish that it the click will be canceled.
    I don't think any publisher will click his own ads and report himself.
    By the way, after looking for a more detailed report, he is actually not only clicking 6 times, but 18 times.
    This is too much, and I have send an email to AdSense for that. The maximum of clicks from the same person I can accept is 4.

    Hi vincent don't hesitate but email them. In the past i have received also some big clickers on my sites. I mean unique visotors who click the google ads on my sites more then three times. I have always received an answer on my e-mails.
    However the men of google adsense support told me: "A user can find out different ads on your site that interest them and click on them". But indeed 6 clicks is very high. In the beginning of my adsense use i received once 12 clicks in a row from the same ip. I contacted google and i got an email back that my account wasn't in danger. I could even kept my money for my clicks.

    If you guys are worried why don't you just install some software so that if somebody clicks more than 4 times on an advert the site stops showing adsense and starts showing affiliate links or something instead.

    Then you are safe from clickbombers and don't have to email adsense all the time.

    mad4 is right, there is an option there at adlogger, i didnt installed it myself but you can block ads to the person who click more then you dont want them to.
    Try that option,

    Best of Luck.
