Is Someone Defrauding Your Adsense Account
There are lots of
different strategies that you can use to skyrocket your AdSense income.
Repeatedly clicking on your ads isn't one of them. That's the sort of thing
that Google takes a pretty strong line on - and rightly so. It's just plain
dumb and Google have a strong punishment for it: they can ban you for life.
That punishment's not unreasonable when someone's deliberately trying to con
Google's advertisers. But it does leave a golden opportunity for anyone who
wants to sabotage someone else's income. If you're making a lot of money
using AdSense - and you've also made an enemy or two - there's nothing to
stop someone coming to your site, clicking your ads a couple of dozen times
and wiping out your income.
Sound scary? It should. Once you get banned, that's it. It's very difficult
to persuade Google to let you back in.
That's why when it comes to protecting your AdSense income, it pays to be
proactive. In my book, Google AdSense Secrets, I talk a great deal about the
importance of checking your stats and tracking your results. I explain what
you should be looking for when you want to increase your revenues.
But you should also be looking to making sure that no one is trying to
deliberately land you in trouble. If you see in your logs that your site
received a stream of clicks in a short time - and from the same IP address -
don't wait for Google to get in touch. (Their letter won't be pleasant).
Drop them a line right away, telling them that you've spotted some
suspicious clicks on your site and ask them to investigate. You shouldn't be
surprised if they write back and tell you that those clicks won't be counted
towards your revenues but at least you'll still have your account and you'll
still be earning.
It's pretty rare for someone to go out of their way to cause problems for
AdSense users. Most of the people you meet on AdSense forums and other
places online are good, decent folk who only want to help. But it is worth
remembering that your site is vulnerable. Just as you install anti-virus
software to protect your computer so you should take action to protect your
AdSense revenue. Track your stats closely and move first if you spot
something suspicious.
