Unusual Number of Ad Clicks from the Same IP

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by goldendragon, Oct 26, 2007.

    I detected 15 Adsense ads clicks from the same IP within one hour period today. May it cause my Adsense account to be banned? Who have the similar experience? What is the best solution to prevent the worst scenario?

    I am surpised they don't automatically filter out multiple clicks from the same i.p address? I am sure they aren't that stupid.

    I don't think any multiple clicks from the same IP address are invalid. Most of them are legitimate. 15 seem suspicious. I am not sure where the threshold is. Anybody has an idea?

    Google is smarter than that, especially if it is a isolated incident. I wouldn't worry so much.

    I have something Really interesteting here to share with all of you adsense guys, I am in this adsense consultation Business since past 6 years now and doing great day by day.

    Click Bombing Term which is being used here is very much common but the fact is click bombing once or twise will not make any difference to google account till the time clicks are not intentional guys.

    Through clickaider.com once fine day i found that there are around 30 clicks which has happend to one of my clients adsense account and i was very much upset with the SAME IP clicks on 2-3 pages, Same case happened after 2-3 days and i was sure that account will be banned for this activity, then i stopped checking that account from my end, but i was DAMN HAPPY the day my client called me from FL and told that he got the check from google.

    From this i concluded that GOOGLE will give atleast 2 chances to any CLICK BOMBING Adsense account


    Regards

    That is exactly what I did. I sent an email to Google about multiple clicks from the same IP. They didn't ban my site; but they have been crediting less clicks since then. They used to credit about 75% - 100% of clicks shown by Clickaider. Because clicks to link unit ads don't always have follow up clicks which account as Adsense clicks, that means Google used to credit almost all clicks no matter multiple clicks from same IPs or not. But now, Google credit only about 50% or less clicks shown by Clickaider. I am losing about one third to one half of income because of my honest email.

    Spygadget, does your client receive the same credit for clicks as before or not?

    I have a question. Will it be safe to track my Adsense with the help of ClickAider? I dont want to get banned from Adsense because it does not allow click tracking.
