Since last 4 months i m in Blogging field and earning from adsense. Usually i was getting 25-30 click a day on my blog and was earning $15-$18 a day.. Now Today I Received 470 Click and got only $6 - Yes i m sure someone wanted to banned my Adsense account because there is not change in traffic as well. As I already filled Invalid click form once i watched those clicks. So i would like to know how could i stop that guy ? or how could i safe from this activity ?
I would suggest contacting google directly and having them keep an eye for this type of behavior. They should be able to see if there was an unusual number of clicks from a specific ip address and can track down the user, letting them know it wasnt you so you dont get banned.
I suggest you to use, "Stat Counter". Once you install stat counter to your blog, you can have a detailed information on exit link activity, visitor path, activity etc., So once after registering you can have a look at the "Visitor path" option to know from where they came and what they clicked. If you find that one particular person (with the IP address provided) is involving in fraud repeated clicks, then you can report to Google with the details which you have. Sometimes a neighbor or competitor too can do this, the place of visit and ip can help you find whether the click is from your region. Hope it helps you out.
no, statcounter will give you wrong data and the OP will come back on DP asking why adsense is stealing clicks. But if you want to waste your time, trying to do adsense's job of fighting click bombing, then yes, go for it.
I also had this kind of behavior from a user in Kenya - 1 visit but more than 10 clicks. But it happened only once. So I just ignored it.
Yes, I already did when i read on adsense forum.. but unable to track that ip.. as i never did before .. but i m still in process.. I already fill Invalid click form .. so Am i safe from any problem ?
Moreover i just checked my adsense carefully that i noticed i got most of clicks from Romania coutnry and i checked my visitor state that only 1 visitor came from Romania ... Now I m still unable to track his/her ip address.
In order to be safe, you may consider removing the website from allowed sites list. It will lead to loss of revenue for some days but will keep your adsense safe.
