    One would think so, wouldn't they? But that's not the case.

    You can use AdLogger to prevent the ads from being shown to you, the webmaster.

    Also you can use it to automatically stop displaying ads to a certain IP if they click on X number of ads withing X minutes. You can specify the criteria.

    It can be also be used to stop the ads being displayed to IP addresses that you ban.

    You can track which ads are clicked and which are not, time of the click, IP, refferal etc :)
    Ban visitors for a period of time after they click 1-2 time ...

    I'm new to AdSense (almost a month), but I'm using adloggers on 3 websites and this saved my a5s when a few ppl started to click at my ads same time from same ip... :)

    I used to limit the number of clicks they can click but decided it wasn't worth it. I've had no problems before I used that functions so why start now?

    Especially as AdLogger is not that accurate as it counts a mouseOver the ads as a click.

    Some webmasters are really worried about click attacks, so it gives them a goodnight's sleep to know adlogger is there preventing multiple clicks from the same IP. Really, that's what it's worth. It does show all the links clicked and channels...it's not a completely useless tool at all. it's not perfect but quite helpful at times...especially for newbies who are scared they might click their links or who are scared they may get click attacked.

    Yep that's exactly why I downloaded it as I heard stories of people being banned becuase they got click attacked.

    Don't use it now though...

    Ok thanks. Just like i think, but i got several websites and monitor every website visitors would take much time, i think.

    Also i want to see what ads my websites show.

    i can only use it to monitor the clicks, the banning function doesnt seem to be working for me, i did use the php code, but i dont seem to be able to ban my self, not sure whats going on there, but it would be a really handy funtion if i could get it to work! :(

    The blocking/banning has never worked right for me - but the visibility it gives me on who is clicking is invaluable...
    I keep all the logs it generates in the event that i ever need let Google review them.

    (i am more paranoid than most)
