SOS!! Someone is using my AdSense Ad Code on their pages

    My Adsense account reports large number of clicks, but my Adsense click tracker doesn't report those many clicks....

    I suspect those clicks are made from a remote page somewhere outside my site. just for the sake of committing click fraud, what should I do ?

    Send an email to Adsense, explaining the situation and sending logs if possible.

    I used to report such things to google but google will reply

    "we will monitor the situation" or "can you check your channels properly?"

    Now I just ignore because there is nothing google can do.

    Maybe your tracker isn't working properly,Remove all ads for a day and check if you are still getting impressions,

    That happened to me once.

    I suspect someone must have copied my adsense code and put it on their site without realising that you had to have a unique code.

    I had loads of extra clicks for a few days until they must have realised and taken it off. Good while it lasted though.:)

    Your click tracker maybe not working right or maybe someone want to break your account. You only need channel function to check this problem. Good luck!
