Woke up to about 200 unaccounted for clicks. WTF? yeah, click bombed. Someone from Germany doesn't like my website so he click bombed. Check out these numbers: 150 US$0.11 US$0.04 10 US$0.08 US$0.04 65 US$0.34 US$0.15 Already reported. Hopefully theres no problem.
sometimes you will never know what kind of people will come to visit your site. the best way you can do is install something like adlogger to limit the click times. that may help.
Reporting will not help, trust me. I did it and still got my account banned. Excuse me for being frank. You should learn to write the letter of "appeal for account reinstatement". They will likely ban your account within a week.
except a few of my sites, the rest are custom made scripts and I got one guy entereing in one of the contact forms an sql injection which i thought was pretty professional. lol.
150 clicks US$0.04, right? i guess it become invalid clicks by google. if you worry it, contact to google
Haters suck. Good choice on immediately reporting it to Google; I hope you're not penalized for that. Some people just have way too much time to waste and they are utterly pathetic.
i think adsense should implement a system or something to prevent this problems and protect his users
Its good you report them and ask them what you should do, before they notice it. If things continue that way, they might send this their famous mail of "SIGNIFICANT RISK to our advertisers". .
Google will reply promptly for this.. I got mine before, accidentally clicking 4 times because I like to visit the site and forgot that I am clicking from my own site.. I immediately sent email to them and at the same day they replied...with no problem.
There's gotta be a way to combat these... I don't know this will work but you can use ajax and php. First, the ajax can detect which area a user's click, if the x,y matches where you place your ads, the script will add that ip to the database, then you make it tell the site to stop display ads for that user. Then you do a script that runs every 24 hours and remove the ip from the database.
Kaizoku, AdLogger does that. But haters can cache your pages and click as many times they want. In fact, all they have to do is open a lot of pages before start clicking.
I've had some weird stats like that before but haven't been banned yet. Just started tracking my clicks so I can keep an eye on that stuff.
This sucks.. Don't these people care? But the good thing is Adsense is smart in these genuine cases of click bombs
we are publisher are so vunerable, un like publisher google choose to protect advertizer rather then publisher.
