is there a way to prevent double clicks incase my competitors try and get me banned by clicking on ads a bunch of times.. i thought there was something on here about that but coulld't find it in search
Try and ban the ip address via htdocs if you are using wordpress or report Google adsense if you feel anything suspicious
It would be nice if google had some way to monitor this or prevent it in your account. I think it would be a little difficult though. You can block ip addresses through your host company, but if you have many visitors it gets difficult to go through a bunch of logs, and time consuming. This works well if there is a particular troublesome visitor, but for clicks it would be hard to narrow it down.
Ban the Ip of your Competitor , This is the best way or try using the same tactic as your competitor is using against you lol Tit For tat
There is nothing you can do to prevent yourself from being click bombed. If you suspect that you are being click bombed, then report the matter to google along with the IP particulars. Google will take care of it...
There is a process that you can follow if you suspect someone of double clicking your Adsense ads which involves reporting the details to Google, who thereafter assess the case. But there is nothing that YOU can do by yourself to stop someone else from double clicking your ads.
adsense is a way to get exit from your site, i dont think it's possible to detect IP who has already clicked adsense. Google may detect multiple clicks from one source and treat it accordingly. But your competitor always have a chance to make u suffer and google knows it
some peoples ip changes.... and they use proxies but i ban proxies from my website so thats not an issue
