    Hi all,

    Is there a way we can stop someone auto surfing our Adsense sites using any software?

    I got like 3000 hits from the same IP address (or IP range) and Adsense is reporting 1500 impressions with $0.01 earning. Do you think I should block the IP address and report to them about this suspicious activity?

    Please advice. :confused:

    yes yes, you should first of all report to google that you are getting fake clicks and you need to ask them to block that IP which is doing all this thing. But if its dynamic one then you need to report the last 3 digits or last 2 digits to be blocked. I mean , for example, if the fraud IP is a.aa.aaa.124 Now you need to ask them to block all the IP's coming from a.aa.aaa.XXX and 'XXX' may be what ever.

    I think you understood what I mean?

    does that "visitor" have a unique useragent? IP's scare me personally, I hate banning by IP, I'd rather by useragent if it's unique, or if it has a single unique string in it then htaccess can ban quite easily, I have a huge list of downloaders, bots and crap I ban.

    a while ago someone pasted a js code that you can put in your site's header and it will detect if your page is begin opened in a frame and then open the page directly if it does. I think it look like this:

    
<script language="JavaScript">
if (parent.frames.length > 0) {window.top.location.href = location.href;}
</script>
    Code (markup):
    Autoserf camp usually open your site in frame because it has to show it's ad bar on the top and also it loads the frame with another page in 30 secs or so.
