I see in the adsense forum that people are always asking about clicking on an ad on their site and wasy to get around it. I have never been credited any money from fradulant clicks. Have any of you gotten credits for invalid clicks? What are your feelings on the scammers here trying to steal our money?
If you can prove, that those clicks were illegal, they will transfer the funds immediately. If you can't prove the invalid cliks, how do you know, that they are invalid? Cheers,
Well it should be automatic for some. Lots of people in the adsense area say they had $80 in their account and google banned them for fraud clicks. Thye dont get the $80. Who gets it?
Yes... Google will Bann Fraudulent Clicks Related adsense Account ... May be You Charged Initially for Those clicks but 100% after 1 or 2 weeks you will Charge back and That ad-sense account will Bann.
Have you experienced this? I have heard thats what happens but I do not know anyone that actually has had a credit. I am trying to find someone here that has.
There is a report available to Adwords advertisers called Invalid Clicks. It shows how many and how much you get refunded. Therefore SuperRichGuy, the answer to your question "who gets the $80" is, nobody. The publisher obviously doesn't get it and neither does Google as they refund the advertiser.
Everybody gets credits for invalid clicks at some time- but you wouldn't know if you don't look for it. As LWM says, you can run a report for it, or you can see it in your billing summary as an adjustment for 'click quality' if you've been charged and refunded.
