Someone is trying to shutdown my account...

Got 10 invalid clicks and I believe someone is trying to put my account down... I sent email to google immediately..

 

Nothing more you can do but to ban the user or pull the ads until Google replys

 

Hi,
Yeah, that's the best thing to deal with, message Google and ban user ip

 

How do you know that you got invalid clicks ?

 

10 clicks with zero earnings means invalid.

How do I do this? I don't even know who he/she is...

 

Well do you use cpanel?

 

Calm down, 10 clicks are not that much.
If you have $0 earnings, that means that Adsense detected them as invalid.
If it continues you just have to remove your site from the Allowed List, at your adsense account...

 

You can only notify Adsense on this.. No problem, we still have adbrites with your banned
LOL,, I was joking alrite..

 

yes, but the thing is I don't know his IP address

 

handle this carefully with google. you should be just fine

 

are clicks from charity ads not registered as well?

 

I think this is a major flaw with adsense. Someone could basically go to 10 sites a day, click the adsense 100 times and get the user banner. I think google should automatically disallow clicks from certain IP addresses. That'd make their support tickets a lot shorter

 

google should treat rapid clicking from a single IP as invalid clicks

this will protect both advertiser and publisher

it's crazy to ban innocent publisher and make all his hardwork become worthless

 

You should look at your site statistics and google too. Try to detect the time when he is clicking on your site. If you see he don`t stop get out the google ads for a while. Maybe he won`t come back.

 

I've had google register as invalid more clicks then you saw and nothing happened to me.

 

Yeah I agree. And with Googles code-monkeys, they would impliment that in less than a day!

 

google want no string attach to this cases, they might as well have new publishers than keep those that are fraud or have been a victim of jealousy

 

10 is nothing, honestly. Writing to adsense doesn't hurt, but you can worry really when hundreds of clicks are registered when your visits are only dozens

 

It matters tome because I am expecting valid clicks... anyway, allsuggestions are noted.. thanks

 

Hello silveraden, calm down my friend...

10 small clicks is nothing.. and it appears google has already determined these as invalid or as a click burst from same IP address and therefore made them as invalid..

However if you want to try to find out the IP and ban it from your server you can check through the log files in cPanel called "Raw Access Logs."
