Greetings to ALL from Adelaide in South Australia!

How to avoid Google AdSense fraud!

Don't ever get caught committing AdSense click fraud

Google WILL catch you!

**************************************************************************************************

As reported by Google...

"Invalid click activity includes any clicks or impressions that may artificially inflate an advertiser's costs or a publisher's earnings.

Invalid activity covers intentionally fraudulent traffic as well as accidental clicks."

**************************************************************************************************

It's unfortunate, but we live in a world where far too many are out there to make a 'quick buck' and they don't care how they get it.

You might be asking yourself this question...why would anyone be so naive to think they can boost their earnings by clicking an ad on their webpage and get away with it?

It happens...and if I haven't said it loud enough...

DO NOT CLICK ON YOUR OWN ADSENSE ADS!

GOOGLE WILL TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT AND YOU WON'T BE COMING BAAAACK!

What is considered invalid activity...

Hi Steve,

Great information. I was a victim of Click Fraud with Adsense years ago and google let me know where it was coming from right away. Luckily, I could terminate the clicks in time and did not get banned, but it is very real and a very real danger.

Are there any click tracking systems you would recommend above the others? Also, do you know if there are any that are setup specifically for Amazon Affiliates?

Hi Tom...

I have never used one of these programs and I don't usually recommend anything to anyone anymore...once bitten twice shy :)

I mentioned on Page 3...

"Install click monitoring software...type these words into your browser and you'll find a FREE software program"...

And I don't know about Amazon either...

If you type these questions into your browser you will be bound to find your answers!

All the best...
Steve

This is VERY useful, thanks for posting this. The temptation is there to click on those ads, but the consequences will be devastating especially to those who worked long and hard to get revenue from Google AdSense. I certainly would much rather have it the right way, the Google wants it.

Let me tell you, I got a scare from AdSense early this morning. I want to check my latest stats there and I saw kind of alert at the top that I had never seen before saying that payments are on hold.

I'm thinking to myself: "Great, I'm about to get booted out of AdSense", but when I clicked on the alert and read the whole things, it said my payments are on hold because I need to do one last thing which is to verify my home address.

They sent me a letter in the mail that contains a PIN and once it is received, I put the PIN in and I am good to go to receive payments once and for all (once I reach the payment threshold).

I guess that is a good thing as my stats from AdSense are rapidly increasing, mainly from page views, RPM, and impressions. I've also had some increase in clicks too so it shows me that things are definitely moving in a very positive direction.
