    Hey there,

    I own 2 proxy sites and have adsense on them (yes i know google is clamping down on proxy sites atm, but they make less than 1 dollar a day between them, so atm it doesn't matter (and i have no other sites).

    Anyway i logged on about 16.00 GMT (20mins ago) and my first shock.
    2 clicks on content = 9 cent (thats not the shock.)
    SHOCK 2 clicks on adsense for search= 51 cent!!

    However as the next 20 minutes progressed my day was to get more shocking. I refreshed the page around 20mins after the first login and i was literally AMAZED! I was now on $5!!!!

    Before you give your congratulations (if you were going to), that is not the reason why I have posted.

    The reason I have posted is because it seems so strange that I would suddenly get these extra clicks with an average of 63cent each. Luckily I have adlogger, but the story continues to get more shocking :p

    5 clicks have shown up on adlogger. 2 from one IP address and 3 from another. So that's 2 unique IPs, over the period of 2 hrs.

    So now I'm slightly worried that I may have been visited by the dreaded 'clicking bot'. I'm wondering if this is normal, whether I should ignore it, or if i should be worried and possibly message google.

    I'm going to check my stats a bit more to make sure, but what do you guys think about this?

    Thanks.

    i think you shouldn't worry at this stage. when i was hit by a clicking crazy it was hundreds ofinvalid clicks, then i just wrote an email to google before they did, so it was fine.

    It can never hurt to notify google if you think something is up. It will help in the long run.
