Dear All, I need your advice. I got one guy very mad at me because I wrote honest review on his website in which he said that "I trashed his website" and now he can not find any other way to get me back and is clickbombing me. I notified AdSense via the request form and I see they neglected those clicks but I wonder what else I should do since I'm careful with my accounts .... What should I do with that guy??? Please advice, Venetsian
Get a lawyer and scare the shit out of him... That is what I usually do in all these type of situations..
IS click bombing your site right now? What you need to do is contact google about it immediately, you can use your adlogger stats as proof if you installed it already.
i would highly recommend you to remove the adsense if u are not using adlogger right now. if adlogger is in place then its fine once u hear from google team then u can place them back.
Do you have his IP address? If you do, simply deny access to him in your htaccess file. Something like # bar nuisance visitors order allow,deny deny from 74.52.13.242 (or whatever his IP address is)
well adlogger wont help as this guy is right after you he will not rest until he scuks you up , so he would use any method to kill your account better sort out with him
Yep .. I did try . .and even removed the review ... MY ADSENSE account is now banned!!!!!! or at least is not reporting any more .... I'm curious if the AdSense team will answer my request when I said I was ClickBombed ... and I explain the whole issue ... If I loose my account this will cost me $400 that are already generated there ... fuckin'a
Ah, man - that is really, really shit. If you get banned from AdSense because of someone else's actions when you have already reported your concerns it'll just prove the contempt they hold their publishers in. Just when you thought Google couldn't stoop any lower.
If google really bans my account and I loose the funds I will make my best to blog all around the SEO/Webmaster world about this and I'll make sure everbody knows how that you can BAN someone as easy as clickbombing his account ...
yeah i would actually start the story with the guys real name address and all internet alias as an example of what not to be like. try to include a picture if you can get one. then make sure the world knows who the ar**hole is good luck with your account anyway
You will be banned even you have contacted adsense team. Why am I sure? Because i was in your exact position when a negative review on my website got into the nerve of a psychopath whose name is Richard Henry. He clicked a couple hundred times and I got banned 5 days after this so called "we assure you..." email from adsense team. I used AdLogger, and it failed miserably. I suggest you remove all adsense blocks and put fake html codes instead (You can use AdLogger to do this job for you when it detects offending IP). He'll get tired in a few days clicking fake ads and see no expected impact.
What a wanker! Here. If you are facing a ban take a read over the AdSense Reinstatement Guide but also gather up as much sites stats as possible to provide Google. Dont forget, you are dealing with Google so make sure that all emails are somewhat in a professional manner.
This guy needs to be named so everyone else can steer clear of him. Blows my mind that other webmasters can do something to others that they would not want done to them! And I agree, I would remove all Adsense code until you hear back from them.
Yep .. that's the case ... but I don't want to comment on it ... I removed the review as he requested .. now I'm just waiting to see what will happen with my adsense account ...
