    How do you know when you are being clicked bombed? Information is for future reference as I'm still quite new to adsense :)

    If you have about 2-3 clicks a day, and once you've got 40 with similar count of impressions that you've probably been "clicked bombed" :)
    You can use Adlogger.org to prevent this (warnings: this software is not really accurate, but there is no free alternative yet).

    If you are not advertising or using any publicity method then Sudden boost in impressions and CTR means :eek:

    Boost in CTR without boost of impressions will possibly mean click bombed. But if you have an increase of both it should be just a natural increase in traffic.

    Do Adsense really ban accounts for this, even if the IP associated with this does not match that of the publishers? Surely they can work out this is someone out to maliciously damage the sites income stream?

    Seems like they would be forced to ban a site that happened to, I am very new, so this is just my opinion, but if they didn't ban the site, then people would always just say that it wasn't them, or someone they know that did it. I can't believe their are people out there that do that though, thats pretty rude.

    Do not worry much about that, Google has the technology to check those click bombs (other than from your clicks) and protects the advertisers from those as well as publishers..
