Guys, I've heard a software to prevent people clicking on our adsense ads more than 5 times or so. By the way my questions are: 1. Is this LEGAL? I mean, is it against Google's TOS? 2. Have you tried it yourself? 3. How to get this software? Thank you
Ive heard of these types of software before. Not sure if its worth the trouble. Whats your concern? Someone click bombing you.
Of course I'm concerned! because I don't want anyone to click bomb me like I experienced last year and I got banned bcoz of it
Since I integrated adsense and analytics together, I found many click bombers visiting my websites... But I don't worry as Google's not paying me for clicks made by clicks bombers. Many times I can find some keyword (in analytics) that led to my website and the person who used that keyword clicked 9 ads for instance... but no revenue for this. So don't worry about this.
Thank you for sharing... I used to not worry about this issue either, until last year when someone click bombed my site for hundreds of time, and yes, gogole didn't pay me for this, but as a result, my account was disabled! I'd reported it to google, but still my account was disabled due to this click fraud. I'm really worried about it. Now I've got a new account, but still I'm worried such a case will happen again.
Use IP blocking to prevent visits from countries where you can't earn. I block all kinds of IP Traffic and it works great.
Yes they're legal. I've heard about them, but don't know any site who's using them.. I've also heard it's not that simple to set it up..
till now i have not found the perfect answer is that legal to use anti fraud click software .... does anyone here using ...
It is not essential to have a software for this. It might turn against TOS as they may change the functionality of the software at any point of time. So better see your logs daily and check for any unexpected click rates.
But in this case, you're being reactive rather than proactive to prevent such a case I've been through to happen again. Anyone who has used this kind of software?
