my friend says if he clicks some fake clicks on my site my site will get banned can he ban my account?????
well... Yes but I think google will automatically identify fraud clicks as suspicious behaviour and you can always submit a request if you find such clicks.
I don't think your so called 'friend' can do this. If this would be possible, then you called also do this with your competitors.
if google many clicks from one user it is possible. but also google checks the ip that you logged in your adsense account to see if you clicked the ads
It is possible unless your adsense account is old enough to check/track your previous performance, unless you respond quickly to the warning email from adsense, unless you notify adsense about such friends and your concerns
If he's your *friend*, then tell him to stop clicking your ads or else risk your account getting banned. If he continues to click, then he's no longer your friend. It's as simple as that.
first, how can you name him your friend ? second...yeah it's possible, but i think google make some verifications before banning accounts, so a few clicks won't do it..mabe like 40 clicks each day for a week or two
Yes google will ban your account. Before it ban contact team you get some fraudlent clicks on your site. There is invalid clicks form. Fill that form and you are in safe side.
there are some chances. google may ban your account google may identify those clicks as fraud and refund them this may cause in downfall of ecpm google will do what, depends on your account importance to google. is some 3 digits, or 6 digits.
You can report invalid clicks to Google: https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/request.py?contact=invalid_clicks_contact
Yes if your friend frequently click your google ads and adsense detect that clicks are fraud of adsense TOS. Anyway, if he/she doing that, he/she is not your friend anymore. Not your friend, google adsense will do. In my case, adsense just deduct my earning with reasonable descriptions.
