Hi, I've understood from several posts here on WW, that logging the ads from a script on the page is a smart thing to do.. If something happens with my account it would be nice to have a log to show google..

Anyone got any great ideas on how to do this?

You could do that with a combination of javascript and php. I had that script and used it before. But I haven't used that script for a long time and lost that script

I spent about a week on this question. I tried numerous amount of existing Javascript code and wrote some of my own.

In the end I found I could track most IE clicks, some Firefox/Netscape clicks, didn't test any others like Safari or Opera.

I checked the Javascript of some of the big trackers that say they can track Adsense and found that they only worked about 60% of the time.

Unless there is some other methodology I haven't heard of, I do not see any real way to do it 100% of the time. Too bad, because I was going to release a free PHP/JS script that would combat clickfraud.

Would there be any chance that Google would offer this kind of service in the future?
It can only help in preventing or logging clickfraud AND it can also help publishers in improving their ad revenue.

At the moment I'm waiting for a tracking script called 'revenueMonitor' to be released.
Not sure if it wil be any good though.

That's what I had in mind.. a script that would take away all the ads when a user had clicked on them "x times".
