I have a website which gets more than 2,00,000 visitors from search engines every month. I have been an Adsense publisher for 2 years and really enjoy the overall experience. I have this doubt. What If some of my Jealous friends try click bombing my site, because of personal enmity ? They know that Adsense is very strict with invalid clicks and they may use this principle to their advantage. Example: " Let's click 2-3 ads on John's website every single day and try to prove that he is asking people to click on his own ads. If Google Detects these prolonged invalid clicks, they will surely Ban John and kick him out." How does John stops his friends (who are actually his enemies) from clicking ads on his website ? IP tracking doesn't work, they can choose a dynamic IP address every time ? Or they can even ask their foreign friends to do the click bombing ? I am really upset because recently two of my jealous friends threatened me that they will start clicking ads on my website every single day. I think that given the number of valid clicks and impressions by site receives, that small number should not be an issue but I still want to know if there is any better way to deal with this situation.
I would get that checked out because google can ban you for that. I would send an honest email to google letting them know what is going on
But I am unable to know whether he is actually clicking the ads or not. He might , I have this doubt, I am not very sure whether he is click bombing .... so
Well google is very smart about such activities as this was the problem which was actually encountered by some of the webmasters few years back...google keeps a track if those invalid clicks are from any ip with which it has any connection with (like an adsense account, gmail account etc.). By doin this google gets an idea of it being a click due to competition or jelousy...it won't then ban you but would stop paying you for those clicks... I wish your clicks don't have to go for such verifications... Best of Luck...
