Google Adsense is a PPC (Per Per Click) ad network, which pays you for valid clicks by the visitors on your websites/blogs. The valid clicks actually occur by users’ interest genuinely. Google Ads are very close & relevant to your website’s content. Therefore, users naturally click the ads if they are relevant to the query they were searching for. This is a common sense and Google’s ad network has three major parties, the advertisers who pay money to Google for displaying their ads, the publishers who show Google Ads on their sites, and the users who view the ads. Google has been trying to make a trustful balance among all these parties. And therefore, they give importance to all of them, however, the advertisers’ money is more important to Google, because in the behalf of them the network is running successfully for last 10 years. So Google takes deep care of the clicks received on publishers’ websites. Google closely monitor every single click if it is generated genuinely or generated illegally.
Now the issue is; sometimes invalid activity occurs in your Adsense
account which is a painful moment for a loyal and honest publisher.
Because you can’t really prevent invalid activity on your websites, The
click bombing or sabotage is the another name of fraud clicks on adsense
ads. So there are chances if someone is either having jealousy with you
or may be your enemy can manually clicks on your Ads without informing
you; One might use a software/bot to automatically
generate hundreds/thousands of clicks on your ads within few minutes.
What should you do if you received invalid activity in your account?
Google says; you are responsible for your traffic and visitors. And
you should take care of your site and the Adsense ads which are being
displayed on your sites, but the question is; how can a publisher
prevent people from viewing a website? this is actually very very
difficult. However, Google has stated that if you receive any kind of
click bombing or artificially generated clicks then let us know and
we’ll closely monitor your account. So what you need to do is; when you
saw unusual activity in your account, you should instantly report that
to Google by following given link below:
The above link is the direct contact form to Adsense, you should
fill that form with accurate information about the activity that
occurred in your account. Adsense team will do the rest for you.
If you received click bombing or invalid activity on your ads one
time then use the above form to let Adsense know about the situation.
However, if someone is again and again clicking on your ads then you
must take down the ads from the affected website for few days.
I recently attended an online webinar arranged by Adsense team on
Google+, I posted two important questions that if a publisher is
honestly running his account for more than 2 or 3 years then he should
be informed for a policy violation instead of disabling his account at
all. And the second important question I posted was; Adsense system
should automatically detect invalid activity on any site, and this can
be done easily by just ignoring more than 3 or 5 clicks from a certain
IP address. And my questions were liked by many other publishers on that
webinar.
Last Words
I’m myself an Adsense publisher for last 3 years and have been
honestly using it for monetizing my websites and blogs. However, I
myself have received invalid activity or click bombing many times on my
websites. And each time I’ve reported the invalid activity instantly to
Adsense team. And as far as I know you shouldn’t be worried much about
invalid activities because this is the way of life, something,
sometimes, somewhere goes wrong, though. :D.
