    Hello Ppl

    I have very bad situation, I have about 5000 unique IPs everyday, but my problem is most of them (90%) are returning + same country + same ISP they see my ads and think they might support me... so they click on my ads.

    my question is:

    1. is there any script (since adlogger stoped its development) to allow one IP to click only once or 3 times maybe in a day. what would you recommend?
    2. is it against TOS to write this sentence: "PLEASE DONT CLICK ON MY ADS" sounds stupid but I cant think of better idea...

    any help/idea/suggestion would be really nice.

    thank you

    Use asRep or AdLogger to monitor your clicks.
    If you notice something unusual just send an email to the Google AdSense Team.

    returning visitors and multiple clicks at single visit can be taken as invalids. Maybe you should look into your page optimisation and design.

    Don't label your ads...

    Take down your AdSense ads and replace them with affiliate banners.

    Best option i think.

    i don't think they will be counted as invalid clicks! if they visit your site daily or weekly and click on ads!
