Just got click bombed... What's the best thing to do?

    Well, I just logged into Google Adsense today and notice I have about a 65% CTR. It's not exactly that, but it's close to that. I won't give exact figure since Google TOS doesn't allow it.

    Anyway, I have only made $0.99 from about 200 clicks (again, not exact figure), so I'm guessing I'm not getting money for click fraud (and I'm fine with that). I just want to know, what's the best thing to do to let Google know that I believe I was click bombed.

    Don't want to get my Adsense account banned.

    Just contact their support and let them know what you think is going on.

    Okay, sounds good :) .
    Oh, and the other fishy thing ... my Google Analytics only shows 119 unique visitors today, yet Adsense says I had about 200 clicks... But yeah, I'll contact them right now.

    there's a google page to report that, search and you'll find it.
    PS: report asap :)

    I think there is nothing to report. They can detect it automatically and filter all those 'bombing' clicks, so don't worry.

    Thanks for all your help everyone.
    I found the page to report strange account activity and sent that in.
    I hope you're right grg. It'd be a bummer to have my Adsense account banned :p.

    there may not be a nything to report but take the precaution of doing it anyway so google doesnt assume anything, they have a tendency to do that

    today one of my blogs has 100% ctr and i was scared - then i looked at stats, i had 1 impression and 1 click :p

    Wow, that amount is quite low for that many clicks!
