There is no way for you to protect your adsense, as long as you don't click your own adsense, and keep track all your traffic. If there is really click fraud occurred, submit all your traffic data to Adsense team, they will evaluate it. Then you need to pray hard that no one does the click fraud and hope Google reinstate you too.

Google has built in algorithms that will prevent fraudulent clicks from showing. They also do analysis to find clicks that the automatic algorithm didn't prevent. I am not sure how these are shown in an AdSense account but they do show up on an advertisers AdWords account.

Google watches everything very closely to protect it's business so they'll pick up on fraud clicks by themselves.

For hackers, it is granted that they can remove the cookie each time they’ve clicked enough but still, you can make it basic. Using a Javascript, the DOM model is set to support even handlers as well as the capacity to generate content, using scripts such as PHP, ASP, Ruby and ColdFusion to add up in plain HTML.

What you should display are your appropriate ads so you can wrap the banner code having the DIV element to hold as onclick handler which functions the “trackclick()” everytime the link within the element has been clicked on so if the clicks gathered are less than 2, the AdSense ads will still be displayed otherwise, the code will be seen. Afterwards, you then have to add the tracking cookie code to record the visitor’s clicks. Setting a cookie, it keeps the records of the running counts of clicks on that ad block.

So how do you do that code? I used to have adlogger which worked well but I cant get it to work with the forum!

I understand there is not much you can do but I just want to do the best I can to secure the income!

All teh best

and thanks for teh answers

Nothing you can do about it. Don't add any strange scripts suggested above.

Just add Google Analytics and connect it with Adsense. That way you show that you have nothing to hide. Not sure it helps but analytics are also great for you and adsense.

don't rely on just Adsense, diversify

You can limit the websites that can display "your" ads to domain names that you own. This might help if someone has really got it in for you.

there is nothing you can do, just let google handle it. they watch it very closely
