PowerUp, 3 threads in less than 30 minutes? It's hard to keep up with you.

If I can find a way to limit the number of times a visitor can click in 24 hours, then I can prevent click bot attacks on my site. I know I am thinking too far ahead since I have 0 clicks for 4 days in the last 7 days =D

Can't you be disabled if your account is inactive (or has too little activity)?

I think this is correct, however I am not sure what the time period would be.

From section six of the AdSense T&C:

Google reserves the right to terminate without notice any account that has not generated a sufficient number of valid clicks on Ads or Referral Buttons or valid impressions of Ads (in each case as measured by Google) for a period of two (2) months or more.

OMG. time is running out for me. My account was activated about 2 months now...and I am in the 0 to 2 clicks a day category.

If i get disabled because of low activity, can I be enabled again in the future when I create a new/better site etc?

Ok,

From what I know you will NOT get booted out of Adsence for low clicks.

* Do NOT increase this by means of clicking on ads or asking friends to click on ads.

* Do STOP worrying.

* Do build good content & Do get some good links to your website.

* Do read webmasterworld every day.

* Do not break any TOS anywhere on any site for any reason.

* Do take adsence OFF your website and leave your account enabled but generating no income.

* You SHOULD re add adsence after your up to a good amount of visitors lets say 100 unique / day.

* You should NOT worry about being booted out of adsence for low / now clicks.

* You SHOULD take classes for being paranoid.

Sorry I didn't mean to worry you. But why don't you email AdSense and ask them directly if you are "at risk"?

I don't think anyone actually answered your question. The answer is yes. But it will require you use software like phpadsnew to serve the ads. You can frequency cap so it doesn't serve the same ad to the same person more than a certain amount.

Or if you use a service like adbutler, it does something similar.

Or probably serving using javascript, or some php type scripting.

Whether it will protect you from bots, I can't say, but it should stop repeated clicks from the same person, since they will only see an ad whatever number of times you choose.

Whether you will lose money doing this is another issue. My guess would be yes.
