    I don't believe for a second fisher42uk was drunk when he did it, but that's another story. :rolleyes:

    If powwka did not have Adlogger from stopping this sicko, his account would have been banned. Think about it, it very unfair.

    Guys like fisher42uk should have NO room in DP. I may sound harsh but an apology does not change things, we are talking about business AND money here.

    That's what I was thinking too.

    Actually I didn't have Adlogger. I have it set up still I think, but I never added the code to my pages. So Google must have an algo that catches fraudulent clicks. It reported a large number, but only payed me under a dollar, so they didn't count very many of the clicks.

    I just got my email back from Google, saying they have noted my input and will continue to monitor the situation. So I don't know if that means I will be banned or not.

    Theres really no need to report it as Google knows, otherwise how would they report it to you?

    When the percentages go out of whack, there is a report generated for human eyes to review.

    Also since Google records the IP of the addresses clicking on their ads, they know already to discount multiple clicks.

    Peace

    This is terrible. I thought this was a place for people to make money and help people. Click bombing helps no one and wastes ALOT of time and effort. If someone is to get banned from this it should be the losers that do such a thing. I have had this happen 2 years to me. I didnt check my adsense account in a long time then i got an email from them about invaild clicks then when i checked it i seen i had 2 weeks ago (from that time) 100 impressions 200 clicks.. someone really needs to get a life.

    I hope you guys get that worked out. I always wanted to get adwords.. but now i am thinking its a waste of money.

    your "proof" isnt worth squat.

    IPs don't mean anything. Go away and learn how internet protocol works.

    Obviously my "proof" is worth more than squat. Go away and learn how to read. Then you can come back to this thread, read how I accused fisher42uk, and then read how he confessed to doing it.


    Articlebazar, read the 3rd post on this page.

    hi powwka, do you really think for one second you will be banned because someone click bombed you???? :eek: :eek:

    OF COURSE NOT

    IF IT WERE SO SIMPLE TO BAN A COMPETING WEBSITE FROM ADSENSE THERE WOULD ALMOST NO ADSENSE ACCOUNT LEFT ON EARTH!!!

    you won't be banned because a stranger click bombed you, no need even to notify google, they saw it themselves, and as you said they just validated the first clicks!

    if it was so easy to ban somebody the adsense system would be in huge trouble !!! yet it is not in trouble! you just can't ban somebody just by click bombing his site, unless you do it from his own ip :D

    so no worries powwka really

    That's so true...if google can understand the situation when you email them about numerous clicks accidently made on your own ads, then I am sure they are going to believe that you have been click bombed.
    Best of luck powwka!

    Hi!
    1- Block the IP in your .htaccess file.

    IE:
    order allow,Deny
    Deny from XXX.XXX.XXX.XX

    allow from all

    2- Send an email to Google.

    Best regards,
    Jakomo
