hello how can i detect a click fraud? how can i stop it from happening? should i buy some adsense protection software to protect against click fraud? or it can be done without one? im sure everyone has his own way .. so please dont be shy to SHARE xD thanx
^Ban^ Anyways I think Google does a good job detecting it on their own that I don't think software is needed. You'll always pay for more clicks than you get visits but that's the name of the game.
i know that google does a good job detecting .. but the thing is that u should too coz if u dont detect and report they will ban ur account right????
Using the third party software in a way is a violation of the adsense tos. Your not changing the advertisements, but you are changing the way they work. Just use the white listing option they have. Then keep track of your normal clicks, impressions for your websites. Like everyone's does, sure, everyday I know you print out your stats and make niffy charts with the stats (well, I do at least). If you see any jump all the sudden without getting more traffic or didn't place any advertisments then email google about it. In other ways to detect it. Adsense has really left us as publishers high and dry to manually detect this. They don't explain the way they detect it or even if they allow for a certain range of invalid clicks before giving a warning or banned emails. .
