As I was browsing some adsense tips on the net, an article about "how
his adsense account get banned" caught my attention. I read his story
and asked if he honestly do some illegal activities on his adsense
account and he said "no", and I believe him because he blogs about SEO.
If you are blogging for that niche, I am pretty sure you are aware of
Google Adsense policy. He said that his click has dramatically increased
more than a 100% in the past days, and its because of click bombers, someone was probably sabotaging his adsense account.
What is Clickbombing?
Click bombing is simply having your adsense account too much click, it
could double or triple depending on the malicious user who wants to
sabotage your account. These people will usually click on the same ads
for more than 10 times in just a minute. If you have a low traffic blog,
getting your adsense account banned is easy for these click bombers.
This could happen to anyone, so we must pay attention to our adsense
accounts and check for malicious activities or having too much click. To
some, they suspect rivals or competitors are the one doing this kind of
malicious activities. They want you to go down. As a website grow
bigger and so is the rise of haters, spammers, and of course the
terrorists of Google Adsense "the click bombers".
The truth is, I fear on this and I don't want it to happen to me or to
you. But there are preventive measures to protect your adsense account
from being sabotaged.
Reason of Clickbombing
- Potential Customer Backs Out Quickly – If they click through the advertisement and back out before the page has even loaded, that’s probably not the best potential customer for an advertiser and they probably shouldn’t be charged for that lead.
- Unusual Amount Of Clicks From Potential Customers – You may have a visitor looking to get off the site that ends up clicking here there and everywhere to exit the site. If this person has an extraordinarily high amount of clicks for that visit, you may find the earnings discounted or the clicks removed completely.
- Automated Clicks – It could be some sketchy traffic play the publisher is using or it could be (innocently) some automated crawl bot that’s clicking on the ads. Either way, you’ll want Google to discount these clicks as they’re not really valuable to anyone.
- Clickbombing – A manual or automated process that will go to your site and click through your advertisements at an extremely high rate. This can be through the use of software, proxies, etc. or manually from a group of others looking to cause you harm.
#1 and #2 above happen on a regular basis and is usually the cause for fluctuation in our earnings, but it’s #3 and #4 that you should be concerned about as publishers. While there are some AdSense alternatives, protecting your account should be a priority for AdSense publishers and recognizing a clickbomb attack as it’s happening is one of the ways to do that.
