    i am using clickaider to see if i can track adsense click on my site.
    has anyone used this tool? it seems like the numbers are way off.

    i use blogger so i cannot run any software that would require me to have the site on my server, so the question is, does anyone know a program that would track IPs clicking on your adsense ads?

    Thanks

    The only other one I know of is AdLogger, but having a look at their website, it seems that it isn't all that useful anymore...

    Source.

    Unfortunately if AdLogger isn't able to fix the issues, I doubt that any other clicking-logging script would be able to, which may explain why ClickAider is reporting odd numbers.

    this is unfortunate
    in correspondence with google, i learned that they want you to track your traffic so you can see if there is any illegitimate traffic on your site. i use analytics, but not sure if this is enough to track any weird traffic.
    what should i be looking for that would be considered illegitimate traffic?

    Analytics should be fine.

    There's no need to stress about click attacks, "invalid impressions" and whatnot. Usually if you're banned it'd be due to a wrong doing on your part. Google aren't stupid, and they will understand if it was completely out of your control (providing you give them enough proof).
