Programmer clicked my ad 2-3 times I think

My situation is this. My programmer who is outsourced, I see 2-3 clicks total in the past 7 days. He keep using old template. which contains the old channel code so I am very sure it's him. I didn't tell him to click and didn't tell him about the ads. Are these clicks considered invalid?

 

It is highly doubtful that your programmer sincerely wanted any of the products that were clicked. If he clicked the ads from your computer or your IP address, you might get banned as a result.

 

Although anything is possible with Google these days, 2-3 clicks probably wont end up getting you banned. Nonetheless, I would suggest possibly emailing them and letting them know that your programmer may have accidentally clicked on your ads (and make sure to keep the reply, if they send one)

 

Programmer is outsourced, not same IP. These invalid click banned threads are scaring me, I don't want to bring this matter to google's attention. I am getting XXXXX clicks a day, I think 2-3 clicks that may or may not be invalid should not matter that much?

 

2-3 clicks isn't that bad in the grand scheme....especially if they werent from the same IP.

 

if the clicks shows up in your report.. it does matter.. and hope that google does not see this . but I think that it is ok if it is not over excessive.. but I am not google..

 

I calculate 3 clicks total over 7 days but I see some other old channels from other sites that the programmer don't have access to. I just don't want google to be aware of this since all I've read so far are invalid clicks banned etc.

 

Well, you should tell your programmer to be careful not to click on the ads unless of course, he is interested by them.
I think you are fine so far.

 

so you get xx,xxx clicks a day and 3 clicks from a differing IP is 'scaring' you?

sniff sniff.. what's that i smell? oh a BAN!

 

Yes it is scaring me did you see how people got banned for invalid clicks last week?

 

It's amazing the BS people come up with on this forum.

If your sites are legit, then you will be fine.

 

yes I have read about the bans.. it scares me too.. I sure don't want to be banned.. they can probably make up anything just to ban you.. i wish you good luck

 

My sites are legit but you see many established dp members being banned here the past week, you think they cheat?

 

Not always true. Google is quick to ban and they never give you the benefit of the doubt.

 

They could be valid clicks from people with some serious caching issues.. I sometimes get impressions and clicks from a site I closed down a year ago!!

 

google will ban you just for sneezing on your monitor
