Is it click attack?

I hv to worry or not?

[Simran]

I'm using adsense since two months at my website and everyday i'm getting clicks between 5 to 10. But today when i checked my adsense account there is 38 page clicks with less page impressions. And my earning for today is also very low. Can i mail this google? I have to worry about this status?

In any doubts, send email to adsense. By the way how many page views per day you are having?

[Simran]

not much between 300 to 400

[kartiksh]

better to send your doubts to adsense support first.

better for u to find it and tell them before they find it and tell u and give u a warning or worse ban u

I think half the time you lot are TOO paranoid. Im sure if it was a "click attack" Google would take care of it - Thats why there are a lot of systems in place to find it all.

My view.

If I were in your position, here's what I would do:

1) Fire up an email with Google adsense as the recipient
2) Point out the discrepancy and say I suspect it might be a click attack
3) Say that I want to remove AdSense from my site for a few days to avoid further issues (and then actually do it)
4) Offer to refund my profits during the hotclick period of time

Most people do 2) but I personally don't think that's enough. I think that 3) and 4) are key.

Good luck.

Do you really think we are TOO paranoid?
Currently my balance in Google is a little more than $5K. earning of this month and other money they didn't send yet.
I'm running a business here, and one of my customers, (the only one I have) has the right to decide one day that he doesn't want to pay me any more, and does not want to be my customer ever again.
He is doing it to others all the time, so do you REALLY think I'm TOO paranoid?

don't worry friend, it's probably nothing.

[rj87uk]

so do you REALLY think I'm TOO paranoid?

Yes, I still do - Take some calms, stop worrying or you will have a heart attack by 55 if you keep going on at that rate.

You can not paste the reply directly but the extract of the same can be mentioned without any problem.

[Simran]

Based on their email they want to tell us that google monitors clicks on Google ads to prevent any abuse of the AdSense program.

They also tell us that if we ever suspect that invalid clicks may have resulted from a visitor to our site, then first we review our site's logs
for any suspicious activity and notify them with our findings. This information can help them in resolving any issues.

Nice reply from google, what do u say?
