    uhg....as today hasn't been full of enough questions from me.


    A website of mine all the sudden shows 14 impressions with 10 clicks .... am I being click bombed and if so what do I do ?

    Nothing, they could be legitimate. Your impressions are really low so it won't really matter unless you have multiple days like that. It's possible to have a day where you have only 1 impression and 1 click meaning 100% clickthrough rate, that's understandable although suspicious. But what really sets the alarm for them is if the next day it happens again - or if you have like 1000 impressions and 900 clicks.

    Yup, you could be a lucky SOB. :)

    If you would being clickbombed, it would be for a lot more than 10 clicks.

    yea, i reported it too google for the hell of it to be sure.

    I only call it a click bomb because its a new site, which I haven't focused much time on. for two weeks It had gotten 0-1 clicks a day than today in 2 hours it got 10.

    Does anyone know of a plugin or software that you can install to prevent click bombing? I seem to remember several years ago something was around but can"t find it anymore. Or is it a waste of time?

    There are tools to track the IP of the click but never get too much obsessed with it if you are honest and in no way contributed to the click either directly or indirectly. Because google has sophisticated mechanism to monitor click bombing / intentional clicks and take appropriate action depending on the need.

    I do not think so. If you really have unusual CTR during many days, yes it might be.

    Bomb or not, Adsense have it's own methods to ignore click-fraud.
    Nothing you should worry about.
