IP Ban Tool for fraud

    Hi,

    I'm curious if anyone knows of a tool that will automatically ban an ip once they've clicked say 5 or more ads in a given time period on your site, for example. Or at least make it so once so many clicks are performed by the same ip, it will not count the new clicks as it suspects the ip as committing fraud, ultimately jeapordizing your account with Adsense? I didn't worry about this a year ago, but now our site is making a good profit and I'm naturally concerned.

    Thank you

    very interresting point! let me know if you find this kind of a tool!

    the freestats service i use tells me exactly who, on which adsense clicks, and where he goes by clicking... so it's sure that are ways to count that.

    This can be done by php, I'm pretty sure.

    I was thinking on modifying a script I found years ago on hotscripts that bans bots that do many request on a certain amount time to do that.

    The thing is to register clicks and serve the ads via a php include, after x amount of hits, just simple serve different ads (yahoo, or whatever).

    Would be a useful tool for publishers.

    Most click farud tools are made for advertisers though.

    To protect advertisers, google must be already doing it. Blocking ads on suspected IPs.

    Well, if they do it, won't they loose $$$ that they make when banning people for invalid clicks? :D
