I really need help here. One of my site experience click bombing (x20 more than usual clicks). Its been going for months now (about 3 months now). After few months (surprised that Google didn't ban me by then)of trying multiple things i got tired and just took off all ads from my site. So i waited a week or two and put them back on and few days later the bombing started again. I took off for another 2 weeks and its started again after that. Its been months now. What should i do ? I tried banning IP's but that did not work. I tried removing some ads and that didnt work. I tried removing all ads and wait a week or two and that didnt work. Has anyone found a solution to click bombing yet ?
there is nothing we as publisher can do about it, only thing you can do is hope for best and that google actually not flag your acct
When you get x20 times more clicks than usual, you know its click bombing. Hope ? Is that the only answer ? I cant believe that anyone did not find a solution by now. Its OK that i am being click bombed, i understand that its part of bad things that could happen. What i dont understand is who would monitor my website for MONTHS ? When will it go away and at what point they would just give up ? Has anyone ever had similar experience ? Thanks
Google is the only company that i know that has no customer service . Maybe for AdWords they do, but for Adsense they dont. One in a million gets an answer back. They dont care about us. Also it says in their rules that it is our (bloggers) responsibility to fix this. You have to love this.... Cant wait for the day that Adsense will have some serious competition. Maybe then they will create a customer service department. Lets get back to the subject. Anyone else can help me ?
Your wrong I had the same issue and all I did was contact Google and they removed all the click bombing activity, my account was at 4000 clicks and CTR at 14% and now its down to 1%
the thread starter was asking on how he can use again its website with his adsense code without going again to click bomb issue. He did not ask on how he can report or remove click bomb clicks from his records. Try searching google for code that only allows one click per IP. I just forgot the name of the program or plugin. I think that will at least minimize your click bomber clicks or auto clicks. Meaning if he want to really destroy your adsense he should make additional effort to do so and maybe he will get tired. Good luck.
There are third party tools / scripts with which you can show the adsense ads, they track the clicks and if they find too many clicks on the same page ads or from the same ip, they immediately stop showing ads to those ips, there are paid as well as free scripts, search google and check reviews before installing them, they also do not violate the adsense tos as they do not manipulate the adcode while displaying ads
My website is not some php blog but a HTML websites that i created with a Dreamweaver. Not really sure how i could implement any of those scripts or plugins. If anyone has a specific code or idea please post. 1. Yes, its a 100% click bombing 2. I think its not done by people but rather by some internet bot I do realize that most people dont know what to do and thats why i need to find a person who had/has similar experiences. I would love to ask him how long will this continue ? (when will "they" give up?) Maybe changing a server would help ? Thanks
Have you managed to have a look at your logs? That may show where most of your click traffic is coming from. Almost certainly a bot. Depending on what other traffic you get, hopefully it should stick out like a sore thumb. Then deny the ip range in your .htaccess file. You may have to experiment a bit, but eventually you'll find it.
