damn, what should i do? (clicked my ad)

2 weeks ago i clicked on my own ad, by mistake. emailed google, they sorted it.
1 week ago, same story, emailed them and they sorted it.

and now...AGAIN!

problem is, the ads are on my forum displayed close to the menu, so it's easy to click.

i pressed the stop button right away but i think it started loading already. should i email them again? i have adssense for 1,5 years, never did it before, wont they ban me if i tell them that i did it again?

i really need a quick response, thanks...

 

MOve the ads.

 

lol good thinkin

 

well, i might conside it, but what should i do now, should i email them?

 

Why don't you code something into the forum so the ads don't appear for your IP address?

Then email google explaining that you have taken measures to stop it happening again. I'm sure they have better things to do than keep sorting this out every few days.

 

why don't you just filter the ads based on your own IP not to display?
It takes literally 30 seconds to code it. 2 minutes to search for it if you dont know how to code. For cryin' out loud... *ugh*

 

HOORAY I SAVE THE DAY!

 

Go with the IP idea.

for php:
if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == "your.ip.addr.here") {
$ads = "";
} else {
$ads = $ad_block;
}

then use
<?= $ads ?>
where you want the ads


In fact, I use IP detection as well as click logging in an effort to drive down invalid clicks on my sites - if someone clicks on the same ad block 4 times in the same day - i stop showing ads on that page to that IP for the rest of the day.

If it's one of my members (so it may be their code) I stop showing ads on that whole site, for that day, to that IP

 

Can you please share this code , i would like to prevent people clicking more than 4 times also .

 

where shuld i put this code at my site? is there any asp code?

 

it was a PHP example code....

and not sure if you can count at all how many times the user clicks on the google ads ...

 

Sorry, no - some of it I paid for (posting that here would infringe copyright laws), and the rest of it is proprietary and is protected by company secrets clauses

Buy adsense tracker by Jonathon Leger - then I'll walk you through the additional concepts that need to be added.

 

don't buy anything, use http://www.adlogger.org

 

cool, too late for me - but may have a good look at it if i get the time!

 

^ yep I would also recomend adlogger just set it up to not display ads to your ip.

{EDIT}

just saw you got it sorted.

 

Once I did click on my ads and I immediatelly emailed them, and the response was

I think if you click once or twice they know you did a mistake and don't count the clicks without telling you anything (automated), but if you start doing it more and more then the algorithm will notify them and then probably you are in trouble.

 

Do not worry much but never click again. They understand that it may happen sometime.But, if u do regularly, then, u can easily be banned.

 

just after reading the topic again I wanted to answer it with

"click it again"
