    I utilize the revenue sharing function of this site, and just yesterday I received 40 invalid clicks stemming from the forums. Anybody else see anything similar recently?

    I would imagine you have to worry about it anytime you use a forum. I did not see any myself

    I would never risk displaying the pub code if the click frauds happen like this one:(

    i guess someone is holding grudges against you and cliking xcessively on adds in topics started by you ,
    it will be a BS if you get banned due to that . have you thrown a mail to google ?

    by monitoring adsense account ,create a channel for DP and monitor it

    Not sure, but does Adsense use smart price on an account basis or site per site basis. If it's per account basis, something like that could also cause your ads to start getting smart prices giving you lower showing ads / earnings for the actual ads on your website. Not 100% sure how it all works though.

    I've never gotton more than one or two clicks a day from my DP adsense. Usually only a few a month to be honest.

    It wouldn't suprise me if there was adsense fraud on here, after watching the parade of scammers come through.

    I'm not surprised. That's why I didn't add the code

    If I have ads on DP, what benefit would a fraudster gain by clicking on my ads?

    He would be putting $$ in my pocket.

    Not sure I understand.
