Adlogger just tipped me off to a visitor that clicked 5 ads. I looked at the history for that visitor and it looks like he's been to my site once every few days, and clicks 2 or 3 ads each time he comes (total of 4 visits).. at what point should i worry? I almost banned him from my site, but I thought i'd see what you guys think.. am i overreacting, or over-paranoid?
Yes, don't worry about it. If your not encouraging that person to make the clicks then there is really nothing you can do. Sit back and watch the PPC roll in
Couple of ads every other day from the same person? I would worry, big time. It sounds very much like A pattern that I would look for if was friends or family. Of course, they are legit clicks, but good luck trying to prove that to Google after they banned you for invalid clicks - when they wont even look at your e-mails. This advice of DON'T WORRY Google knows. May seem like "great advice" but being "better safe than sorry" seems to work better. Of couse sounds like some people are now getting banned after pointing out issues on their own websites- so you are damned if you do damned if you don't. GOOD LUCK.
