Couple of clicks from same ip..

Should I report this to adsense

[blue_eagle]

my treacking script shows that I have received couple of clicks from same ip. I dont think that this would be a hostile way of clicking but I am really nervous about this. I was wondering what would you guys do?

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't worry about a "couple" of clicks from the same ip. It's fairly common for folks to use the back button to return to a site. If they do that they may well click on another ad.

If it's two clicks in rapid succession, it might just be that the connection was slow and they reclicked, or that they just double clicked the ad right right off.

Now if you meant a couple hundred clicks...... wellthat would be another matter.

I would do nothing ... there are a ton of legit reasons why there may be two clicks from the same IP. For one the person could have clicked, the site didn't respond (from their point of view) so they hit STOP and clicked again.

I know that often times I'll click an AdWords ad, check out the site, and then forget the domain - but I remember the ad text that took me there. 20 minutes later when I want to go back I'll search again using the same terms and click the ad again.

heh ken and I had the same answer but he got in first ... dang.

Also generally all requests from a corporate environment will appear as the same IP. We have a router at my house and quite often I'll ask my wife to go to a site I'm at so that we are looking at the same thing on two different computers. If we did the same search to get to the same place - two clicks in rapic succession from the same IP would result.

Unlikely but possible.

What script are you using to track the clicks? Can you share it please?

[blue_eagle]

I wrote my own but there must be some scripts do the smilar job. if you do a little search i believe you can find some of them but make sure you dont alter the code.
