Somebody is trying to get me in trouble with Adsense

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by spiritus, Aug 15, 2008.

    I noticed the last two days I have had exactly 100 clicks on my adsense ads in a particular website of mine.

    This is about 10x the usual number of clicks I get.

    How can I report this to Google or will they assume it is myself who is trying to cheat them ?

    I've also noticed my other website which runs Adsense ads has had a few clicks (normal activity) but Adsense hasn't paid anything out for these clicks.

    Advice greatly appreciated.

    Send an e-mail to Google and let them know. They may think you're doing it yourself from another computer with a different IP address.

    Take the ads offline, go through your site logs to check if you see suspicious activity of a certain IP and let Adsense know.

    see if the clicks are coming from different ips. if so, you should be ok.

    if this is 10X more than you're used to getting maybe some more of your pages got indexed in the se's so check that out also.

    if they're all from the same ip then you might want to contact google. They can tell if it's your computer that the clicks are coming from.

    Just let Adsense know. You may also want to check your Site Diagnostics. If it shows banned sites being displayed, then these sites are probably displaying your ads (using your adsense code).

    You can correct the problem by going to the allowed sites tab within setup and specify your sites in the allowed sites area.

    I would take a moment and advice them that you have noticed this activity. This way they know you are looking out for there best interests also. Though I think they have become a lot more effective with click fraud as they show a zero earning for those clicks.

    You can also insert a script that will only let users click on adsense ads X number of times per each IP, this way you avoid this problems...

    Send mail to google adsense officer and tell them about this fraud click. Normally they will reset your earning in that day.
