    If someone reports someone for fraud click (aka asking users to click the ads) how long does it take for them to get banned?

    A buddy of mine (jerk) runs a fourm and is using google adsense. Another buddy of mine(another jerk) :D on that forum reported him for asking members to click his ads, but his ads are still there. He said he reported him 2 days ago.
    The thread where he asked pepole to click them is still there, and I dont want to report him or suggest that he remove it, I dont even want to get involved. :rolleyes: Google doesnt seem to be timely with click fraud reporting.

    I dont blame my buddy for reporting my other buddy, as it hurts us all, but whatever.

    Im guessing it all depends on how fast the report can be reviewed.

    Well it depends on the length of investigation conducted by google although I'm not sure exactly how long it would take. I guess they have too many similar cases to attend to. Don't worry about it, sooner or later that guy's account will get suspended.

    google will no doubt check the ctr of the forum, if its above allowable rates, then no doubt he'll get the boot.

    If its just one or two rougue clickers then I don't think they'll boot him as it could be some person(s) with a vendetta against the forum owner!
