Just started my proxy sites Averaging 500-1000 impressions and 5 dollars a day Not much Got this email What does it mean t has come to our attention that invalid clicks or impressions have been generated on the Google ads on your site(s) through users of third-party programs paid or provided with other incentives to visit your site. Such programs include, but are not limited to auto-surf, pay-to-surf, pay-to-read, or pay-to-click sites. Please bear in mind that if we continue to detect invalid clicks or impressions from these services on your ads, we may disable your account to protect our advertisers.

I am having the same problem as well. Just got the email for the first time. I'd love to get some suggestions or ideas. I just reached my $111 earnings and I'd hate to see not able to receive the payment. Mine is proxy site as well, and the traffics are just from toplist site only. I never use any paid programs etcs. Someone please help out.
maybe someone is puting your site on the autosurf programs. Turn off your adsense and try to find which autosurf program is about. Contact admin and tell him to remove your site. I hope it is not late.
You at least need to remove the Ads right now and then find out what to do next. They are giving you a warning, so don't let any more invalid clicks continue. Take the ads off while you are trying to get advice to fix it. I'm not sure how to fix the actual problem but someone here may be able to help.
Hello, I am in the same boat, a few hours a go I got a warning from google for invalid clicks or page impressions..Is there an effective way to stop these invalid clicks? thanks
I just responded to another thread: There isn't much you can do. Just log where your traffic is coming from, and if you find anything suspicious block them. Let Adsense know that you are trying to take care of it, and genuinely try to do so! - Install AdLogger - Check to see if there are any AutoSurf programs with your site
I do not have AW stats installed yet, I have been meaning to, and now I will for sure. I have noticed a jump in page impressions on a certain domain, so i have cleared adsense off of that domain for now.
I don't think you need to remove the Adsense ads, just make sure you are taking the right steps to prevent click fraud. I have two sites where Adlogger doesn't work, so I just leave my ads in the "nude" but monitor what's going on. I recently had a huge leap in CTR, but found that the ads started getting more relevant and my new optimization was a lot better. In these situations there isn't really much you can do but if you can put up Adlogger, install it. It takes 5 minutes, and you can rest easy.
Hi, I was affected by this problem aswell. I installed AdLogger with no problems, I would like to know how to configure it with the Ads, can you help please? Somethings like Tracking code, Wrapping code, Cache-Control code that I do not understand. And Would 6 clicks from a user every 2 hours be ok ? Thanks...
You have to ad the tracking code to the top or bottom of the site (don't remember, but it should tell you) the wrapping code is the PHP code that goes around your ads. When you click it, it says put in your ad code here, then click generate. The generated code is what protects your ads. Cache-Control... I think that's the one that goes @ the top of the HTML coding. I'm not sure I ever used that. Most important Are Tracking Code+Wrapping Code. The tracking code has different channels. 1. Add Tracking Code to your website after creating a channel 2. Add your Adsense code into the "Place code here" box in Wrapping-Code section, generate your new code, place that where your ads used to be.
is there any easy way to have ad logger on multiple sites with just one database, or do you have to create a database for every site?
I think I used to have it working on 1 site and used different channels for other sites, but you have to make sure to add the tracking code.
aa262, Do you have Adsense on the proxified pages or just your home or landing page? My understanding is that a landing page with some content and a link to start proxy surfing could contain ads. You just can't add Adsense ads to the proxified page. By proxified page, I mean the page that your server grabs the desired site and pushes to the proxy user. I understand there are other ads you can put on proxified pages but you cannot put Adsense on proxified pages.
