    Cybersquatting traffic can be caused to block your adsense account or disapprove your adsense application. But is there any way to block such Cybersquatting traffic?

    Cybersquatting is more like trading on the name of someone or something that is well known, or is a trademark. Like "google". If you call your site "GoogleHelp.com" or "GooglHelp.com" that could be considered cybersquatting, or if you called it GucciBags that could be considered cybersquatting - any name brand.

    Gotcha!

    I thought you wanted to block cybersquatting traffic, but infact you are worried that that is the type of traffic you do get.

    As per gjivan's examples - if you have a domain that deliberately targets typos of well known and popular websites then you can be accused of cybersquatting.

    If your content is legitimate - lets take the reyban.com example and perhaps you manufacture reyban tractors - then you won't have a problem. If your site is attempting to gain clicks or business off sunglasses related enquiries then you will.

    make sense?
