    Hello,

    I am planning to start a blog having services of some writters and what will happen if they all click once atleast and some people click many times, so how to exactly recognize the click frauds adn what steps should I take

    And two more question how to add the adsense ticker to firefox and how to avoid click mistakes by own self, is it by disabling java script from firefox options.

    Thanks.

    The real issues I've had is when I received hundreds of clicks for dozens of page impressions, when your CTR goes above 50% you know there's something going on. Then write to Google and ask them if they want your log files.

    Also consider using http://www.adlogger.org on your site to answer some of your questions.
    And this is for the adsense ticker: http://code.mincus.com/3/adsense-notifier/

    Thanks James.

    Can you put some more light to writing to google only if the CTR goes above 50%.

    Can we use this adlogger service on blogger.com or it need personal domain and hosting and if yes then please tell me which should one buy as I think there is a requirement to have PHP pages to set the cookie by renaming although windows hosting is neccessary , Is that so?

    Thanks,
    Addies.

    What I mean is if your CTR goes beyond 50% you can be pretty sure that something is going on, when I experienced click attacks it was beyond 100%.
    I say contact adsense support as soon as you discover that, saying you think there are fraudulent clicks and that you can provide them your log files for their investigation.
    That way you'll receive an email saying they'll monitor your account and and will let you know instead of receiving an email saying that there have been fraudulent clicks if you didn't contact them PROACTIVELY.

    Ok so it means one should atleast login two times a day in his adsense account to be sure about that everything is going right.
    ok Cool. Thanks for the real help

    I have a real job. My site is a hobby.

    I do not have time to visit google once a day every day, much less twice
