    Hello everyone , I'm new to the hole adsense stuff and i have one simple (maybe stupid) question. What if.... you have a "friend" that is gelous because of your adsense incomes and gives you 1000 clicks in order for you to get banned from Google Adsense ? What then ? :)

    google will treat the clicks as invalid. you should also mail adsense telling them that you may be click-bombed. They won't believe you if your site is too new. (they believe that click-bombing comes from competitors, if you have a new site-->you shouldn't have competitors).

    In that case, you should contact Adsense immediately when you see a unusual activity on your account.

    ...got it ! but i don't completely agree with the "new to the scene" thing . Maybe you just have a "friend" who is nervous for some reason that you started a succesfull adsense site and you won't share information with him or help him with his own site... leading to "click-bombing".
    But what if your "friend" is smarter ? (uses proxys or something more subtile) maybe he'll attack your site using methods that failed to promote his own site...like posting the site in his forum profile signature telling that it's his site and asking for the adds to be clicked ...

    Rule #1 of Adsense is not traffic, it's not "SEO", it's not HPK. Rule #1 of Adsense is to never tell anyone your site. Don't tell your "friend", or have you already done this?

    What if? I'm not sure I understand what you're asking here? In fact, I'm _sure_ I don't :)

    As for your "friend", especially since you use quotes around _friend_, I just wouldn't tell him.
