Click-fraud via proxy?

Hello and welcome to this thread.

I just readed an article, about an Adword costumer who stopped his campain, because he lost much money and he thaught, that the reason was a competitor who used different proxies and clicked on his adsense ads.

If you use a proxy you normally get a different IP adresse or not?

Is this whole story true or is this guy only nuts? What do you think?

Would the clicks really get valied?

 

It's not that simple. Only using proxies would get you caught. Google checks referrer, user agent, IP, CTR, traffic patterns. Someone would need a very sophisticated bot to get away with click fraud.

 

Exactly. Google also sees your OS, screen resolution, and browser. 40 clicks from different IP addresses all running Windows XP Home, Firefox, at 1024x768 who visit the address directly are going to look very suspicious. Google are not idiots.

 

A hacked version of JS or a browser could easily spoof your os, screen size, etc.

 

that guy was you.. right??
anyway, lotsa click from same IP is very suspicious though. they will definitly flag your account.

 

Google doesn't only look for the ip address but many more things they consider.

 

No I didn`t do it, I readed it here

What is OS Guys?

 

stands for Operating System (Windows XP, OS X, etc.)

 

and even cookies....

 

and also cookies which they leave while you logon to they services they're aren't that fool.

 

yes cookie, they play important role.....

use track eraser pro . it will remove all of them

 

Are you promoting it ?



Not a place to post that information

Abhilash.

 

or you can delete your cookies from Internet Options in IE
They are very sophisticated. They probably know that you did click fraud, but they will not ban you because they are losing money. Only for very serious cases they do

 

lol thats the easiest way, jus delete the cookies.

 

I know people who make ALOT of money doing this. you need to be very smart. it would be very hard. if you want to do that you might as well learn black hat it'll be much easier.

 

many adwords customers complain of click fraud. especially those who are new to adword. chances are, most of the those clicks came from the content network which has a very low conversion rate. by default, the content network is active and has the same maxcpc as the search network. be carful when creating new accounts. if you arent detailed in your setup you can throw away alot of money. it isnt click fraud. its adwords growing pains.

 

Javascript can easyly send your real ip to google,

If you disable it, then you can not see google ads.

there are some softwares that designed psecialy for adsense wich randomly choose and change proxy from a proxy list.

but google already blacklisted 99% of those open proxies.

 

As an adsense publisher, I can say that any attempt at click fraud is just plain stupid. I make too much money being honest with adsense to risk a ban to make an extra few dollars. Heck, I won't even tell friends or family my web addresses, less risk having them click on any of my site ads.

 

Your right its just waste of you time, trying to scam Google. You know your going to get caught.

 

Why do you all think I am doing that s***? I am only new to this business and want to learn everything. people don´t write crap in my threads I want to have here serious discussions!
