    some bot has some how been able to find out all of my keywords and it keeps giving me hits... i dont know what to do, i've never run into this problem before. i blocked the ip address, so now a 403 error comes up but really that doesn't solve much!

    please help...im desperate

    it's hitting 10 of my azoogle campaigns and also the other campaigns off of cj.com

    Is the bot targeting your adwords ads or just clicking like crazy on your website? If it's your website, all you can really do is block the IP, or if from a certain country, maybe a whole block of IPs.

    Btw, clicks on one of my offers went nuts yesterday, like increasing from 5 clicks to 300 clicks in a 2 hour period. Had to be a bot.

    You mean they're hitting your ppc ads, or your landing page links to CPA offers?

    On mine they were hitting my affiliate landing pages, not adwords ads.

    they are hitting my landing pages, not my actual ppc (which i guess is a good thing).

    still - how the heck are they able to find out all of my keywords?

    How does this affect you negatively other than screwing up your stats?

    Yea, just screws with the stats, but you wonder why it's happening and *what if* they attacked your ppc ads.

    Are you landing page urls based on your keywords?

    How do you know they know your keywords?

    Do you have any kind of internal structure? Is your naming scheme easy to determine?
