    Why not ban the IP from your site ?

    Thank you for your answer...

    I looked into the log files and found that yesterday 1 visitor from UK (not my country) and... Yandex search engine have visited that page.

    So, I was wondering if it is possible all invalid clicks to come from a bot?

    Would you explain how to do this or give me any URL where I can read about it?

    Thanks.

    How you do something like that will totally depend on your server setup.
    Off my head I can think of:

    In your firewall drop/reject connections from that IP.
    In your code, check for REMOTE_ADDR or similar, then show a banned page. If you're using a CMS type system it may already have a feature such as that.
    In your OS, route the offending IP to somewhere else.

    Your hosting provider can proberly provide more help.

    Sorry I cant help you much regarding this matter. This isnt my field. (I dont even know traffic details of my site. I just get happy seeing my adsense account.:) )

    But I know it is possible to block an IP address from accessing a site. My friend runs a forum and he had trouble with people advertising on it - he banned a few addresses.

    Fortunately, DP has many experts. Start a new thread if you need more detailed opinions.

    I agree, wow, that's all there ever is no this forum, they try to discreetly mention it hoping they'll get some ideas on how to cheat the system.

    This was originally posted well over a year before you even joined. The original post wasn't "How do I Earn Money from Fraudlent Clicks". It was asking about the internals of the mechanism.

    I'm not going to go out and change the brakes on my car, but I would sure like to know how they work.
