Some idiot clicked on my same adsense ad 7 times in a roll, would i get banned?

    Look at my logs, some idiot clicked on my same adsense ad 7 times in a roll (not on the site in my signature, it's another site of mine). would i get kicked out adsense because of this? i swear that is not fraud from me or my friends. I didn't tell anyone about my site. It's just some visitors, they probably don't know much about internet, got confused, or for whatever reason, clicked on the same ad 7 times within 2 mins.

    Anyone has similar experience?

    You must be very confused to click the same ad 7 times...

    Don't contact Google. It's their job not yours.

    They don't count clicks that happen too close to each other, so you probably only got credit for 2-3 of those clicks.

    I just read again the adsense guideline:

    No Google ad may be placed on any non-content-based pages.

    I put ad on a gallery page. That page is to show pictures uploaded by users. So the page are photos only. Is that against the guideline?

    And i saw another guideline:

    No Google ad or Google search box may be displayed on any domain parking websites, pop-ups, pop-unders, or in any email.

    But Godday domain packing sites are full of adsense ad if i remember correctly. I once registered a domain name but not having name server set up yet. So if you type my domain name, you'll go to a page which says "this domain is parked on godaddy.com by courtesy ..." and having some google adsense ads on that page...

    And also, there are a lot of sites just some misspelling domain name of other popular domains. When you typed a domain with typo, it'll take you to a site which has adsense ad only... how come those are not banned?

    because godaddy is a premium publisher.

    "I put ad on a gallery page. That page is to show pictures uploaded by users. So the page are photos only. Is that against the guideline?"

    I guess thats fine ,
    non content pages in my eyes would be blank pages,

    now dont put them on a login page though.

    You're wrong. A gallery would be considered a non-content page and they could use it against him if they wanted.

    Those typos urls use Google for domains http://www.google.com/domainpark/

    I think there is no problem with those 7 all of us may have 3, 5, 7 + clicks from same guy. They will just adjust your earnings.
    Nothing to worry about imo. :)

    As long as that 'idiot' is not you, you have nothing to worry about.

    Of course, if he clicked the same ad (the same exact ad) more than once, it won't count.

    I have an IP clicking on my ads on the same page almost daily, and a few times a day. Wondering if it's an internet cafe or what. I've inform AdSense earlier, but who knows if they will ban me in future. You know, they are weird.

    Google have usually been great with my clicks. I have had some click attacks, and in the past made accidental clicks on my own ads, I have let google know about this, and they sent me a nice, polite reply :)

    once i banned a member from my site for clicking 35 ads in one hour,later i found that he was only resting his mouse pointer over the banner while reading articles.
    Adlogger was counting mouse overs as clicks.
    Are you sure whatever methodology you use to log clicks is accurate ?
