@gatormark i did contact adsense and they did provide me little info about what site and ad unit having major invalid activity, you must try again.

My clawback is reduced to 1.5%. I had around 50% for the last few months.
I used cloudflare to give some countries and data centre ISPs a js challenge. And i stopped using autosize responsive ads.

I have noticed that my revenue from the UK has been increasing recently. Previously, it had been fairly bad. I just wanted to see if my experience was unique or not.

For those with low clawbacks, what SPAM firewall tools are you using?

It’s pretty depressing I know. Using Cloudflare’s bot tools made a huge difference, but I suspect I’ll have to set aside some time again and see if I can figure out what’s going on.
It’s a big PITA - to beat a tired old drum, it would be good if Adsense did a little more to help people out but I’ve not seen much of that thus far outside of a generic message that appears each month telling me what I can do to reduce invalid clicks!
Good luck

I had zero percent clawback, and I am only using the free Cloudflare.

Just curious azlinda ( feel free to pm if you’d rather not share publicly ) what kind of traffic volumes are we at? I use paid services from CF.
Ps well done! I seem to recall a time when you had it bad with clawbacks too

1.1% clawback for August, but revenue was down from August last year.

I'm thinking of giving Cloudfare a try but don't know much about it, does the free version speed up and protect your site as well?

6.6% Clawback here. It increased a bit. Not cool! But could be worse by the numbers is see here.
@allhearts Yes free it's all you need. It does both.
