Click fraud notice

on the webpage

[sunnydiv]

ne one every thought of putting a clickfraud notice or warning on ur website?

would that work for your advantage or disadvantage.

FOr example a person comes to ur site, and likes it a bit too lot and so thinks he can click ur adsense 100 times or so , so u make more money ......

would that work out for our advantage or dis

I would ask Adsense support as you aren't supposed to bring attention to the ads.

Its G's job (obviously with our help as publishers) to monitor their system for click fraud.

But they'll tell you for sure...

Why don't you try it and let us know how you get on? ;)

In my opinion, if you put something like "Please don't click the Google ads repeatedly" on your pages, then you could actually inspire a potential "attacker". There are many people who love to do harm just for the fun of it (for instance, people who write viruses, etc).

Anyway, it would also very likely be considered as drawing undue attention to the ads (ie. against the TOS). So, I wouldn't do that.

I wouldn't do anything of the sort. Just let the ads sit there quietly.
I would do nothing to call attention to the ads under any pretext. - Larry

you might as well say 'attack me and close down adsense account'

99% of people that get banned probably deserve it

What about if you put a link to a page with website terms of use on it with something saying it is fraud to constantly click them. Make sure you put no ads on that page, maybe thats a way around it.

Even if google condoned this, which I doubt they would, I don't see it being a very effective strategy. As others noted it might only encourage people who would not otherwise do it to do it.

And it is certainly not going to discourage those who might have done it in the first place.

"Hmm let me go check out www.dontclickonmepleaseohno.com and click on their ads some it will be fun"

"Hmm.. well they have this banner asking me not to click on their ads a bunch. I guess I won't."

runs off and jumps in the jacuzzi.
