    I know how you feel... im working with a developer to come up with something that when it detects invalid activity (or click bombing), it automatically disables adsense serving to your site in order to protect your adsense account. - Apart from that, i dont know of any tools that can really detect it.

    0.5% ctr, thats pathetic in the first place. It might be that you had alot of clicks from 1 idiot in one night, it could be a competitor wanted to kill your income.

    You can reapply for adsense, but not everyone is successful... I wouldnt even reapply for the immediate time being.

    I use statscounter, they have a exit link activity report and then I check who clicks on my ads, where they come from and how many ads they click on, anything over 2 clicks on ads, I take they IP and block them from coming back to my site. Anything over 6 I block and report to google.

    Hi,

    Try StatCounter, you can watch clicks on your links. For instance, if you find someone who clicks them randomly, then make a report " invalid clicks " for Google. Hope this helps!
