Did you know some users on the internet dont even know what adsense is? and google cant do anything about that user boming your ads wihtout knowing it? Some users can click the same ad 55 million times if they want, its not google or the webmasters problem, its the way adsense is setup, its googles loophole, and the adsense account owner cant get banned for it. If its not your IP, its not yor problem. If you didnt tell them to click on the ads, its not your problem. If you complied with placement and adsense ToS its not your problem. Google cant do anything about it unless the owner of the ad has tracking and tells google personally that this IP is suspect and wants it blocked. But you (the webmaster still wont be in trouble and google have no right to ban you because of it.) It seems to me you guys are doing something illegal and against ToS to have this type of fear. Dont break the ToS and you'll be fine. I got 600% one day and google didnt send me an email or ban me, and I still got paid......Because they cant prove I broke any rules, and they cant tell a new internet user if their allowed to click ads or not, thats what the whole things about, users clicking ads that make google money, the webmaster money and the advertiser gets the view. They cant expect every webmaster to track every guest and then email google about a suspected problem guest. Some people just click ads because its easier to do when you have a niche and that user is looking for information and found a specific site which is good and has teh info they want (rather than using the search engine itself). My mum does it all the time if shes on a site which displays google adsense in the nav bars that look like links. She sometimes clicks the same ad by mistake, and yet, she is boming without knowing it, so you cant exactly blame her now can you? She doesnt know these ads make webmasters money, shes clueless like half the interent traffic is. So google cant do anything about it now can they. They can only do what the advertiser of that ad wants. And if they decide to remove or block that IP (which they have every right to do,) they remove what advertising is all about, "getting to show your ads to an audience."
Im not doing anything illegal, but you hear ALOT of horror stories of people being banned without warning. Adsense means a lot to me, and I want to continue using it. I simply started this thread to see if I should contact google or not, and I decided to shoot them a coutesy email in the end. I would rather be safe than sorry. If you want to take chances than go ahead, but not me.
Yeah, thats cool, but trust me, if you arent breaking any rules, you have nothing to worry about. Those people that got banned wouldnt have been banned from someone else bombing him, it wouldve been from him bombing himself. Even if you do get banned, you can get back in easily. Ill show you one day if you ever do get banned. Look at my report. removed Too many Pms asking how to. Now can you imagine how many times there were suspected bombings done in 3 months? And yet, Im still here? I got 600% one day a few months ago!...
Google would be moronic to ban a website bringing that amount of revenue, as it's plenty for them whether you break the TOS or not google just wouldn't ban you if you made that much money.
