Invalid clicks by enemy & competitors

[yolkman]

For the past few days, I have a jump of 300% in clicks. Then, I received an anonymous email few hours ago from either our enemies or competitors telling me that they have done invalid clicks on my website. What should I do? I have been with adsense for nearly 2 years now and has never done such an evil activity.

I would forward my logs and the email source of that email to AS support and ask for direction as to what to do.

[sallam]

I always report to adsense any suspecious rise of clicks, at the same day.

[yolkman]

Thanks. I have reported this issue to adsense.

Will you get any reply from Adsense team after reporting bomb clicks?

[LeChuck]

Yes, at least I do.

I am experiencing de javu, Seems I saw this same statement/thread about a month ago?

[tigertom]

But why would they tell you they'd done it? Defeats the purpose.

and an "anonymous" email?

Don't you have log files?

Can't you see excessive access from the abuser and block them?

I would definitely suggest contacting Google first instead of waiting for them to contact you, but if all else fails, put your head between your legs and kiss your AdSense g'bye.

I'm just curious. How can I see in my logs who clicked my ads?
