Need URGENT Help Regarding My Ads!

Unfortunately, somebody is trying to get my account banned and will more than likely succeed .

Up until 2 days ago, I was getting around 15-20 clicks per day and making around $6-8.

But, yester and the day before yesterday, I have been getting 400+ clicks. I fear they are all from the same person, or that there is something wrong since I am only making around $10 from those 400 clicks. All the clicks are coming from my free web hosting company, www.yurx.com

And since Google's Channel tracks ads by domain, the ads can be anywhere on the 60+ sites I host.

I do NOT require ads to be on people's sites, and I have removed all the ads from the main page, So I think somebody found my ad code from the page source and added it to their page somewhere and is constantly clicking.

I suspect it is a guy from my forums who we banned after he started swearing at the staff, and have tried emailing him, but it doesn't work, he won't respond.

What can I do at this point??? My CTR has jumped from under 1% to above 10% in 2 days.

Is there a way to completely stop my ads from showing? Or to find out out every page that my ads are on?

I do not want to get suspended since I have a lot of money due in that account at the end of the month.

Thanks For Your Help

 

First, email Google to let them know about the suspicious activity on your site. Next, see if you can block the IP address of the crazy clicker or at least hide the ads from him/her (if it is all from the same IP). As a last resort, you may want to remove your ads for a couple of days.

Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

 

Why don't you remove your ads for a few days until google answer your emails?

 

I have removed the ads from the main site, but remember that the ads can be on anyone's site, under my domain! I provide free .yurx.com subdomains to my free hosting clients. And how do I track who is clicking them?

 

Block the ads for this clickers ip. I belive u can do it even with adlogger.

EDIT:
U can also track ip with this adlogger.

 

Hopefully google have got back to you by now.

Generally as soon as you see any suspicious activity you should contact google straight away and then let them respond and inform you of the outcome.

If you had suspected one guy of doing it, banning his IP would be one course of action.

Perhaps google might include a ban IP feature in the adsense programme itself at some point - to help counter know click attackers etc

 

I have no response yet from them. Hopefully, I will soon.

 

Yeah. By removing the ads, Google will see that you are being proactive and being honest withem and then send an email explaining the situation.

 

I guess it was the weekend and the team that would deal with those incidents are a mon-fri team and not the 24/7 support
