hi guys, when i checked my adsense stats today, i was shocked to see so many clicks! like about 110 clicks in 277 page views!!! i dont know whats happening. im not clicking my own ads. and my total earning for all those 110 clicks is only $0.14!! what could be going on? could someone be click bombing my site? how can i report this to google? i would like to ask them about this. can anyone help me?
Google has become lot smarter. Gone are the days when competitors easily click bombed their rivals by such tactics.....but not any more...I guess! The clicks would be tracked for their IP and if originating from the same source, google would just ignore it and would not count them. Regards, RightMan
Same happen to my few days ago, My CTR suddent short up, (187 in 357 impression) also very low earning which is $0.85. However, not doing anything on it http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1256680
What can he do, when someone click bomb? Google now has the technology to track those clicks and filter out invalid clicks, so not worry about that, unless yourself doing click bombs..
All that you need to do is piss of the wrong a$$h*le here and he goes straight to your signatures links and starts clicking away to try an get your account shut down. If sites in your sigs have adsence on them remove so they cant play that game... Youve definitely been click bombed so id just shoot adsence a fast note just to cover your own A$$. laterz malcolm
I think you have got invalid clicks. Your should report this to Google otherwise you'll put your account in danger. You can use this form to report invalid click to Google.
Keep the dialogue open with Google and make them reaise that any potential blip in clicksa is not down to you. That way they will always give you the benefit of doubt
Google will count most of the clicks as invalid ones and so they will not add on to your earnings. None can prevent their sites from being click bombed except reporting such instances to google.
Me too faced this kinda problem a couple of days ago but it was not too many clicks as yours, i fear for you and i can give you a childish idea that remove adsense code from that site/blog for some days
I am getting a pile too on a domain, 500 views and 500 clicks. I also notice on my stats that I have lots of this: Visitor ABTS-North-Dynamic-180.110.163.122.airtelbroadband.in IP Address 122.163.110.180 Referrer http://www.herbalplants3.blogspot.com/ ABTS-North-Dynamic-168.59.161.122.airtelbroadband.in IP Address 122.161.59.168 Referrer http://www.herbalplants3.blogspot.com/?zx=7a81d0f7f54fa3ea I blocked one with htaccess and he started hitting with another.
