So far today things are looking quite promising although it's still very early for me. I've only had seven clicks so far today but my CPC has actually been rising and is now at 40p, I like that a lot.

We've been operating for several years now but we've been oblivious to the Nessie arrow penalty up until recently. We didn't change much on our website when we received our current penalty. We get about 500k uniques per day so it takes a lot to change our invalid traffic ratio in a meaningful way. That's why I'm wondering if AdSense may have lowered their threshold.

The problem is the bots.
I have a friend with a small site and automatic chatbot.
He spent 300$ to Adsense for content on the first day. Lots of reported clicks, but just two automatic logins to the chat window.
I block ~ 20 IP's/day... A lot of activity from Asia and Russia for content crawling and maybe clicks?
