Thanks to a plugin i can see when people click to much on my ads and then the plugin will block the ads for them .

Now i have one that clicked 6 times in 1 day and by this was locked out . But should i report that to adsense ?

    Dude something similar is happening to me, i don't know why but i never earned before from 2 clicks almost 6 eur, today this happend to me and i don't think they're real clicks, becuase it's only a tumblr blog, i mean i don't deserve it lol.. clicks are from U.S.A, so are these invalid clicks? should i report to google, my ctr is 0.69%.

    ps. last night i had one click from which i earned 2.25 eur but later google removed that click, what do you think about these clicks? are they robots or what is it? How can i avoid this situation?!

    I have never worked out how google works out which clicks are valid and which are not. Is there any posters here that work more on the CPC side, do you contest some of the clicks if they have a high bounce rate or something?

      Exactly, how can i know if these 2 click that paid me good enough aren't invalid, would google remove them or i shouldn't be concerned that i will get ban?!

    I tried click-fraud and it isnt helping. a couple months ago i purchased a website and completely rebuilt it, so i pretty much just bought the domain. When i went to apply my adsense code the ads did not appear which i later found out the domain had been banned. i told google and they said that the domain was now in compliance with the adsense terms of service and they reenabled the domain for adsense. i added a few ads and was getting clicks and earnings right away. i then noticed the clicks and earnings would disappear after about 15 minutes. this has been continuing to happen for the last two days that i have had ads on the page, multiple times per day. i figured these are invalid clicks from robots or something and for that i reason i have removed the ads so i am not penalized or banned. i had chitika ads on the site for a few weeks prior to adding adsense ads and never had any problems with invalid clicks. does anyone have an explanation for this and know what i can do to stop it so i can put my adsense ads back on the page? also i receive a ton of spam comments and e-mails on this domain, leading me to believe it has to be a bot issue.

      I don't think that Google would ban you if you have nothing to d with the illegal clicks as you have no control over what people do when they visit your site. They will ban you if they find out that you or your friends or family members are doing the clicking or if you purchase visitors to your site or make it enticing for visitors to click the ads. I mean how is it fair to get banned if a kid came across your site somehow and decided to play click happy??
