This morning I had 13 clicks off of 2 page impressions for one of my channels, according to my AdSense report. Yesterday I had 7 clicks, also in pretty rapid succession in early morning. According to my stattracker.com stuff, there was a visitor who viewed several pages this morning, some a few times in a row, from Australia. Yesterday the mystery clicker was from Japan. We're not talking about hundreds of clicks or anything, but this morning in particular looks suspicious. What do I do? E-mail google and ask them to investigate? Any advice appreciated. Thanks, Gary
That's nothing to worry about, your sample size is too small, if it were a couple hundred impressions and thousands of clicks, I'd start worrying.
If you're worried, then email Google. dzcap: have a look through these forums, you'll find plenty of people who have been banned without having 100's of illegal impressions. If it's suspicious report it. End of story. Let G work out what to do about it.
I've skimmed through the forums many times, I also notice people getting banned after reporting something. I guess it goes both ways.
Who has been banned for reporting something? I have exchanged many e-mails with adsense support on a variety of issues. I can assure everyone that they do appreciate reports and information on suspected fraudelent behavior.
I don't want to go digging but I remember a couple threads on here where people have been banned for reporting suspicious clicking activity. And I seem to recall an advice given being contact adsense as little as possible.
I would recommend to check your website logs and then decide who visited your website.If there IP's are of your town or country then report google.Because you have very small sample data and google might be having eye on it.
Thanks for the replies. I decided to e-mail them about it. I doubt they'd ban anyone for reporting a potential problem. Got 3 clicks from the DP revenue sharing thing this morning too (never had a single click before). Very strange.
