How does Google Adsense know?

    First of all i need u all to know that i got banned from the google adsense program because of invalid click unlike most other ppl on the forum i accept that i have clicked on the ads on my site over a hundered times and made around 65$ in this way but eventually google found out and banned me :p so now i want to get back into the program once again and this time i have no intensions to cheat since i tried all the methods i could think of and still got banned.
    so is there a way???

    while registering for adsence i gave my website as www.mysite.co.xx but my site is being hosted at www.somehost.com/mysite so will it help if i re-register for the program by giving www.somehost.com/mysite as my URL? i was also planning to rename all the file of my site to avoid detection so is there a chance that this will work? or does any one have a better suggestion.

    for the ppl wondering what all methods i used to cheat here is goes:
    1) Proxies
    2) Anonymiser software and sites such as www.anonymizer.ru
    3) vmware player to run a sub OS such as Linux on windows
    4) booted into a diffrent OS itself
    5) Kept clearing my cookies and private data from the computer
    and much more
    so take it from me dont cheat

    if any one has tried out any other method them please add to the list so others may benifit out of it.

    Haven't you learned your lesson yet, kid? You are not smarter than Google. That means no matter what brilliant plans you come up with next, they'll catch you, just as they caught you the first time. Instead of trying to get around the consequences of your immoral behavior, do yourself a favor and learn from it and move on to something else.

    Geez, why does every kid with some understanding of proxy think he's smarter than the guys who built a multi-billionaire dollar company from scratch in less than a decade? It boggles my mind.

    Now where is Fry and his "Not this shit again" picture...

    All that hard work for just $65 which got taken back already. All that seems harder then working for an honest living. Go do some good in the world rather then stealing!!

    Wow, that's some arrogance. What the hell do you mean 'unlike others on this forum'? Did you ever stop to think that the a lot of users on this forum use Adwords and not JUST Adsense...duh!?

    Your barking up the wrong tree here. I agree, find a new way to entertain yourself kid.

    Owned.

    Actually I agree. You shouldn't be doing it in the firs place adn you'd think you learned your lesson after getting banned once. HOw would you like it if you were paying for AdWords thinking you are getting likely customers or valid traffic and you found out you jsut gave someone 65 doallars to go on their website and click the links a bunch of times.

    I'd think Google passes the MAC address, too. Everything he did likely passed on that info.

    I'm surprised people even bother. The amount of money gained from invalid clicks is not worth the time it takes to even click! That is why advertising is so powerful -- it generates income over millions of visits, not one or two.

    I really hope (as an AdWords advertiser) that Google doesn't let this publisher back in.

    Why not use all this energy in something that isn't going to get you into trouble?

    Apparently 1 in 4 are millionaires in the Google complex :rolleyes: .

    They identify your IP address, as well as the CTR. If it's suspiciously high, they'll ban you :D. Simple as that; of course they have other techniques as well but that's basically it, as far as I know.

    you've got to be pretty stupid to think that you're smarter than Google...

    It's funny really. You may earn a bit of revenue by clicking your own ads but it's only a matter of time before G catches onto you & bans your arse from the programme. Then your revenue source has dried up completely. So, not only are you hurting innocent Adwords customers, you're hurting yourself. I just don't see the logic in burning your own bridges.

    From a moralistic point of view, you have stolen from Adwords customers. I'm glad G caught you & banned you & hope they don't let you back in. Adsense & Adwords don't need fraudsters. It has the potential to hurt us all, if Adwords doesn't prove to be of benefit to advertisers then they will look for other ways to advertise.

    Adsense fraud really gets my goat. It's theft, plain & simple.

    I dont even see why you are interested in joining again... you spend X amount of hours doing illegal clicks along with little investigations of how to use a proxy server and other methods... and after all that your account gets disabled... the whopping $65 gets taken off you and credited back to the advertisers and you have nothing... and you want to do this all again?

    Why on earth do you want to do this again?

    Maybe he does, but why should people be given a second chance when they've defrauded Adsense publishers?

    I like to think that cases like this serve as a precaution to anybody else considering click fraud. It hurts all of us in the long run. Adwords has to be viable to advertisers or they will find another medium to spend their advertising money.

    How does Google know even though you

    1) use Proxies
    2) Anonymiser software and sites such as www.anonymizer.ru
    3) vmware player to run a sub OS such as Linux on windows
    4) booted into a diffrent OS itself
    5) Kept clearing my cookies and private data from the computer

    ???

    Simple. It's not just software...

    Confess to Google and say sorry. That's what I did the first time I joined Adsense. I got greedy and clicked my ads. They closed my account and I reapplied for a new one. Now I'm making $5+ a day for my one and only site.

    To get someones MAC Adresse you need a Clientside programm. Maybe the can read it with google toolbar, but NOT with your browser.

    You never know, google always tries to go for an automated way of doing things, and I'm sure they got some really smart programmers working on software to catch fraudsters
