    One of my blogspot blog get click-attacked today.

    When it only gets 10 visitors at the beginning of the day.....I get 18 clicks

    Google only give me 25 cents for those clicks....so they're definitely fraud clicks

    I have removed adsense ads from that blog.....perhaps I will add them again next week....

    What else should I do?

    A friend of mine get click attacked for three days....two months ago....in less than a week he got banned by adsense.......

    I don't want that to happen to me......

    You dont have to worry if you are click bombed - this is normal for any webmaster - if it happened few years ago - your account could have been banned - but as google adsense changed - and implemented the system - so now its not the issue - if you are click bombed then google do understand and that's why you see only 25cents earning and rest all clicks are marked as spam and not counted.

    Hope this helps...

    I think you should remove the ad to contact Google and let them resolved soon for you to fear than to sit there waiting. Explain to them that you do not intentionally do so, such action is done by others. I believe that Google will understand

    Thanks

    I feel relieved to know that......but I think temporarily removing my ads is necessary, if not....I might end up getting banned like what happened to my friend.
    At least Google know that I have made an effort to prevent invalid clicks...and I'm on their side.

    I've also submitted the invalid click reporting form at https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/request.py?contact=invalid_clicks_contact&hl=en_GB

    In the meantime...I will do vigilant observation on my stats

    Hope this is enough to prevent my worst nightmare......

    Nothing to worry about, I got click bombed about a week ago.
    Google gave me $1.60 in return, and didn't close my account or anything. So its all good :)

    some stupid envious individuals do click attacks to get you banned. Many of them succeeded at this. But I agree that Google has done measures to protect publishers against this kind of thing. If you notice click attacks, remove the adsense ads from the sites affected and contact google about the matter. As long you are not guilty of any violation of the TOS, you should be fine..

    wow, this is interesting and scary all at the same time! I didn't know there WAS something like being click bombed. One of my kids recently tried to explain text bombing to me. What's up with all the 'bombing'?? lol
