Fraudulent Adsense Clicks from Well Meaning or Malicious Friends. . .

How to Prevent it from Happening?

[Anend]

I have been using adsense for some time now and every time i explain to my friends bout making money thru it, they tell me how about clicking it over and again. . .i tell "no you cant cuz ur account will get screwed"...but what if one of them deciedes to screw my account....keep clicking over and out to no end...google will regard it as a fruad right? thn my account will be closed...the reason for this feeling of insecurity is tht i am a very few $$ from recieving a paycheck....my first on at tht....is ther any way to stop this kinda fruad. . .

Some members of my family know about my relationship with the Adsense program but they would never ever click on my ads as I have explained, in great detail, what it's all about. They can see that I have come from rags to riches, in a very short time period of time, and are pleased for me -- especially at Christmas time.

If I meet someone and they ask what I do, I tell them, but will never tell them any of my domains.

So much for viral marketing!

This is ridiculous. Everyone here is suggesting to lie or hide about your profession.

Actually they remind me of one doctor I consulted about a pain in my hand when I do "like that", so he instructed me not to do "like that".

Ok forget about your friends and family. What if a competitor issued a fraud click attack against you, what would you do and what would google do?

If you have any white hair just tell them you're retired, they'll buy it.
