    Hi Guys,
    Just wondering how often you get adlogger click reports saying you have had multiple clicks?
    I have had around 3 emails a day (each day, the batch of emails is from the same IP address, but different IP addresses on each day.)
    I have notified google about it, and they just say not to keep sending them emails about it.
    Do you think with these click attacks, my account will be at threat at all?
    Thanks in advance!

    Dude, first I have to say that I didn't know that programs like adlogger existed. Second, according to this page >>>> http://www.adlogger.org/ , that is the official blog of adlogger, it says that is no longer running, so how do you keep receiving these messages?
    Third, the same author recommends the use of this other program http://clickaider.com/.

    Hope it helps.

    Na, it says the development has stopped, but the program is still available for download.

    I've been using adlogger for a year now.

    I gather around 30 to 50 E-mails per day regarding the jerks who like to click on my ads too much.

    Don't worry about it. adlogger is doing it's thing and blocking them.

    Ah okay. I was just concerned if google would think my site was a liability with all the click attacks.

    Adlogger logs a click when someone hovers over your ads - they may not always click. If Adlogger is just reporting 5 or 6 'clicks' from the same IP I don't worry about it. It is just useful to have the log if ever Google suspends your account. Or if you really think something is going on, you can take the ads off your site for a few days.

    I couldn't get the automatic ad removal feature in Adlogger to work, and after what Trevor has written on the site I think I will switch over to Clickaider. It sounds like Adlogger is really not accurate any more.

    Adlogger was not very accurate from the start as it tracked mouseovers as well as clicks.
    I recommend paying for asrep.com much MUCH better!
