On one of my sites today, a single visitor has clicked on Adsense ads no less than 15 times in as many minutes. According to Adsense Help Docs, there is no way to block the IP. Aside from just reporting this to Google, is there anything alse I can/should be doing? Vito
There's 2 things you can do. 1. Install Adlogger and set up whatever you think is an acceptible threshold of "clicks" (really: javascript ad mouseovers) before that IP is blocked from seeing ads. 2. Report this to Google. While you should be fine, since it wasn't you clicking on the ads (heh, hopefully), a quick "hey, looks like someone was using a click script again" email never hurts if you need future reference, if your account goes under scrutiny.
Must be a bug in Adlogger. I have already limited it to 3 clicks every 24 hours, but this visitor has clicked 15 times. I finally went into my hosting control panel and blocked the IP from even accessing the site. Vito
With adlogger, the blocking thing only works if the viewer has cookies enabled. Also, if the surfer is just right clicking and opening the ad in a new window over and over, the script won't just make the ads disappear, it makes it so ads won't show up anymore on the surfer's next page view. You can perhaps add a script to your page that forces people to accept cookies (you'd have to research that), and disable right clicking to get the script to work for you better.
