Avoid Click Bombing And Protect Google Adsense
Life is full of
difficulties & challenges and you have to face it. Successful bloggers can
earn a lot of money from Google adsense. But earning regularly from Google
adsense is not easy. You must comply with the rules and regulations to protect
your adsense account (from getting banned). However, you may follow their
policies but there is a possible way to get banned even if you are innocent.
What? You get astonished? Yes, it is possible! This is Click Bombing. Don’t
worry. This article gives innocent adsense publishers some ways.
How To Detect
Click Bombing On Your Account?
Click bombing is
illegal, dirty and foolish way to harass innocent people and/or beat competitors
who earn money from Google adsense. It consists clicking repeatedly (even
hundreds time more than regular rate) on the ads on the others’ site and adsense
ads get clicked more than usual. Your competitors/ malicious bots may send
numerous invalid clicks to get your Google adsense account banned.
High CTR (Click-Through
Rate) could be a sign of click bombing. If the CTR varies significantly then it
is something that needs to be worried. The CTR of small blogs (hundred visitors
per day) can vary significantly and that could be normal. But the CTR of popular
blog (thousand visitors+ per day) should remain consistent.
Protect Your Adsense Account From Click Bombing & Invalid Clicks
#1 Report To
Google
You must report to
Google about the matter before it is too late. Actually, Google Adsense has an
official “Invalid Clicks Contact Form” for innocent users who are victim of
click bomb or invalid activity. To inform, just fill up the Invalid Click Form selecting “reporting unusual activity on my account” and submit it
to the Google adsense.
You may not hear back
from Google, but check your Adsense account. If Adsense Team suspects some or
all of the clicks were invalid, your money (some) will be deducted from your
account. If clicks are valid, money will stay.
#2 Use Google
Analytics
Using Google Analytics,
you can get in depth analysis of site traffics and visitors behaviour.
- Who come to your
website or blog?
- Their geographical
location (country, city)
- Timing
- Visit duration
- Bounce Rate
- And more!
If you suspect click
bombing, you can verify by looking at your Google Analytics account. You can
track the IP address of click bombers and ban it for future safety.
#3 Try Some
Useful Tools
There are some useful
tools available for WordPress users to prevent others from repeatedly clicking
on adsense ads.
Click Bomb–Protect: Clickbomb-Protect plugin, designed to work with any WordPress theme,
helps you disable the ads when the click count reaches to a specific given
number from same IP address. It is a reliable plugin for your adsense enabling
WordPress blog.
Who
Sees Ads: You can manage and control your ads with the WordPress
plugin. Who Sees Ads Plugin, gives you freedom to decide who will see
your ads with various conditions. For example, it allows you to show ads to
visitors from search engines only.
Ad
Logger: Ad Logger, basic click bombing protection plugin, identifies the click
bombing on Ads and blocks the particular ads on which it finds invalid clicks.
It will not show ads to the visitors who are clicking on your ads
repeatedly.
#4 Remove
Adsense Code
If click bombers attack
continuously, it will be wise to remove Adsense ad codes temporarily until the
whole issue gets resolved. It is better losing a few dollars than losing your
whole adsense Account, isn’t it?
#5 Other Way to
Interact Google
I think one of the
above mentioned tips will help you to avoid click bombing on Google adsense ads.
If not, then consult the AdSense Help Forum. Tell them in
detail about your problem.
Final
Words
Monitor and inspect
your visitors and ads traffic regularly to see whether click bombing occurs or
not. If any suspicious thing happens, don’t sit idle. Take initiatives quickly
as I have already mentioned.
Now Your Turn –
- Do you want to say
something about the matter?

victimized by click bombers?

techniques for preventing click bombing?
