    I just heard lot of webmasters complaining their account was shot down because of illegal clicks and they are claiming that they don't do any bad thing and they beleive someone sabotage them.

    Some of this stories are true and most of them are not....

    The question is, what is our security for those who want to sabotage our accounts?

    None, so don't bank on it. Google knows what is going on, don't worry about others. Be honest and you'll be OK.

    What would you expect? To see them saying "oh, yeah, I clicked my ads several times by the way..."

    Yeah well unfortunately cheaters are often liars, so you must take what people accused of cheating say, with a grain of salt.

    Yes.. I do always.. honest... with my account.

    But I experience once to be sabotage when my sites only getting an average of 40 clicks per day. And One day I got 500 clicks.... so I contact google immediately and report this problem and luckily they response me and said thank you for reporting this matter.

    My point is that 40 clicks per day then sudden increase to 500 clicks is easy to monitor or detect that there is something wrong. What if a site averaging 2000 clicks a day or more then someone clicks 100 times, that is hard to detect.

    How about google give us warning for this kind of problem or why they don't block those IP's clicking more than once at the same time or date.

    Hard to detect for you, but Google sure can detect it and deal with it

    I hope they really send a warning email first before sending the account disabled email.

    Because all the story posted here and other forums there are no warning email...

    how about serving ads via PHPADs ?
    This way, you can detect who / which IPs are actually making those false clicks ?
    What are your thoughts ?
