    What if a competitor tries to harm me by clicking too many times on my adsense ads thus making me get banned from adsense? How can I avoid this?

    bunker, you have to be a tattletail, or you have to fight fire with fire.

    BUT I DONT RECOMMEND FIRE WITH FIRE, only because its not right, and you will burn if you do that.

    how do you know its your competitor? maybe its some random bored johnny?

    no, you just have to report it, if you are banned, you need to keep eye on or have some alert pager or something .

    sorry for pitfall bunker.!

    AdLogger is no more working..
    Try OpenAds and block the IP. Don't forget to inform google about the situation.

    Anybody knows a protecting script?

    Does OpenAds do the job?

    the software should be able to stop showing ads if too many clicks from the same IP in short period of time..

    There's a new feature implemented in your adsense account, just a couple of days ago.

    You can choose to only allow your PUB-ID to be shown on the URL's that you want.

    I haven't activated it yet, but I guess you'll have to be careful not to forget any of you own URL's.

    Good luck
