Some guy...probably a competitor is click bombing me. I've got a 800% CTR..what should I do? How can I notify Google of this?


I also looked through Adsense help and it appears that there are a lot of people with banned accounts from clickbombing and I'd hate to lose my account because of a jealous competitor.

    Is the traffic fairly low, or is it doing well?

    I ask because I've had quite a few experiences of an early page getting
    indexed and found through the search engines where 1 person would
    actually click every ad - looking for some kind of product I would guess.

    But if your site is getting a decent amount of traffic daily then this
    would be an example of click-bombing.

    I've heard of a click shield you could use which would limit each IP address
    to only 1 or 2 clicks per visit, but I'm not sure who makes it.

      No. It's 1 unique visitor and 6 ad clicks. They would have to go through 2 different ad blocks to make that many clicks.

        Sounds like a lucky visit to me.

        I would not worry about it.

          Alright. Logged into my adsense account and they took the money out. That's good. I'm glad they are so on top of their game.
