    Did the spam bot click on ads or just tried to register on your forum?

    I've never heard of such issue of having spam bots clicking ads. I know they spam, but they don't click ads.

    the thing is there was sudden increase in registration and postings on the forum which had not more than 200 members but suddenly there was a spam attack and the adsense earnings also started increasing on closer observation we noticed that it was spam which caused invalid clicks( as the spam bots tried to reach the registration page) as there were 20 clicks in just 3 minutes we stopped using adsense on the forum since then the problem is how to prevent spam form even visiting and tryin to click on the ads
