yesterday = scary day

    Yesterday scared the bejeebus outta me. I had over 15 clicks. I know that's not alot for most of you, but for me it is. I usually range from 0-3 clicks, most days being 0.

    It's probably nothing, but I'm scared outta my mind that someone might click fraud me. I don't even know how to check to see if the clicks came from the same place or not.

    Am I worrying for nothing?

    Yes, with a difference of just 10 clicks I would say you were worried about nothing. As long as you personally didn't click any of those, I would just go back to what you were doing.

    Things is, I put some funny pics of jesus on my site yesterday (which can be offensive to christians), and I just don't want someone clicking on ads on purpose.

    I wouldn't worry about 1 visitor clicking on the ads. Google will diminish the payment from multiple clicks that appear to be from the same person over a very short period of time.

    I doubt you have anything to worry about but if in doubt or you need reassurance tell Google of your concerns,

    Cool. Maybe I'll just chalk it up to new visitors because of the new content I added.

    Indeed, ten clicks is nothing to be worried about. Put it out of your mind and maybe you can get Golden Palace to buy into your photos ;)

    considering your clicks were so low to begin witn (0-3) it's not a big deal

    I went the other way yesterday. Normally 20-30 clicks, down to less than 10.

    Don't feel bad. The same thing happened to me yesterday. And it was 15 clicks, also, oddly enough.

    I've just started my site and adsense last week.

    And yes, because I'm paranoid, I went ahead and put a heads up in Google's support form just to be safe.

    P.S. Is that the best way to contact Google?

    Pretty much. That's the way they prefer it.

    Thanks. That's the only outlet for communication that I was aware of and just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. :)

    You do run the chance of a Christian getting pissed of at you and doing some damage :)

    Hah!!:eek: Then I'll put one ..

    One of my blogs had click range between 0 (yes NULL !!) - 20 !
    There's nothing to worry, as long as those clicks are legit
    I remember that yesterday had CTR 300% !! (At first time login in a day), but when page impression raise, it fall to 40%++.
    My CTR on that blog is unbelievable, could be 20%+ in a month.
    Account still up today ..

    I've gone from a constant ~30 one day to a new average of 90-130 due to se's updating and I've been fine.
