Will Google have any problem in this?

    I run a small forum focussed on our town schools, colleges and eating places. Since it is a small community, i have 12 members and these 12 members visit site daily, use my search engine and do 100-120 clicks a day. I can tell you they are genuine clicks as i do not force anyone to do clicks. CTR for both content as well for search varies between 6-10%.

    I can not expand as our town is small and not everyone uses internet forums. So everyday, same 12 ip address visit my site and participitate and click ads.

    Will google have any problem in this?

    120 click a day from 12 different peoples only.
    Each people click ~ 10 time per day ???

    I don't think Google will see that as genuine.

    imho, you better contact AdSense and explain them the situation if you want to keep your AdSense account.

    But then my ctr does not exceed 10% which should be fine.

    So? It's a crap deal for advertisers. They want reach, not John Smith and his children clicking multiple times a day.

    Why one one individual genuinely click on 10 ads each and every day?

    Lets say if an individual uses my search engine and do a search for 100 different items/words/phrases and he gets interest in 10 ads and clicks on them.

    All 10 clicks on different words/items/phrases through which search was done. I think it is a reasonable. But them i am here to take expert advice :)

    Another problem I can foresee is something I brought up in another thread.

    Organisations like schools, colleges and libraries use static IP addresses. If several of your members are from (let's say) a school, they will all have the same IP. I'd imagine that would make the clicks look even less realistic to AdSense.

    I would advise you to remove AS from there before big G sees the problem

    Definitely out of the question here. Since you already know that those 12 persons would click 10 times a day, it will be seen as you giving them an incentive to click.

    People got their adsense account terminated for much less.

    If your site only attracts only 12 persons then it might be better to remove all ads from it as they can be highly restrictive.

    But all Google sees is all clicks coming from the same IP range. If they have the slightest "suspicion", it won't take them longer than 1.2 seconds to shut down the account. Having AdSense banned is a nuisance ... and you'll miss the cheques ;)
