Don't Get Caught With Google Adsense Click Fraud
Many web site owners are getting their Google Adsense
account terminated when they have done nothing wrong to deserve the
punishment. Considering the money that they are getting from Adsense,
they would certainly want to get back into it.
Considering the money to be made with Adsense, it is no wonder that
they would want to get back into it.
It is that same consideration why the Google Adsense click fraud is
thought of and why many people are getting into it.
Click fraud is the act of clicking on ads for the purpose of costing
the advertiser money. It is simply the same as paying out cash for
false leads. Many people website owners are aware of this fraud and
are sharing the same sentiment that this is the one big problem that
Adsense is facing.
How do you prevent being involved in this fraud?
Majority of web hosts are offering access logs. Once this is offered
to you, it is necessary that you hand it over to Google as well. This
allows them to look for any suspicious activity on your site. Problems
like this are very serious and giving it to them is saying that you
would want to help them in any way you can in solving the problem.
It can also help if you have a click monitoring software. If you do
not have one yet, you should try and get one. There is absolutely no
major factor preventing you from having one because most of this
software is free.
As usual, all the information you have received should be turned over
to Google. This is showing Google that you too are fighting against
click frauds and is in no way a part of it.
Study your server logs and watch for any activity that seems
suspicious. Report anything that you may find odd, may it big or small
thing.
You may want to consider disabling ads for your own IP address and
local geographic area. This will certainly prevent accidents and will
not make Google mistake another user as you. You can do through a
htaccess file. This will avoid Google mistaking as clicking on your
own ads and be kicked out because of it.
Keep your Adsense off on pop ups and pop unders. Your ads should not
be displayed on content sites that promote illegal activity or
tampering of the legal rights of other people or business. Included in
this are the content that is considered adult and gambling ones. If
you think that you may be breaking this rule, immediately remove your
content or Adsense from the web page.
Be truthful and confess up to Google about times when you might have
clicked on your own as, whether accidentally or intentionally. Or the
times when you have done something that is against the Terms of
Service that they are implementing. Be honest about anything that you
may have done that is wrong. Confessing is way better than Google
learning about it eventually. It would mean eventual termination and
no getting back what you have worked so hard for.
Do not tell your family or friends about Adsense on your website.
Chances are they may start clicking on them to help you make money
without you knowing it. They may be doing more harm to you than help
by trying it in the first place.
If ever someone you know chanced upon your Adsense, make sure they
understand that they cannot click on your ads under any circumstances.
It would be wise to brief them on important things about Adsense and
what not to do with them.
Most pay per click networks have different measures in hand to protect
website owners against click frauds. Other search engines can track
more than 50 data points, IP address, browser’s information, user’s
session info and pattern recognition. They also have “systems”
available that detects fraud. Not to mention the specialized teams
monitoring how things are going and helping advertisers stop click
frauds.
Google offers suggestion on how to avoid click fraud. Using “negative
keywords” can be used to keep your Adsense showing on products and
services that are in no way related to yours. Adding tracking URLs to
your links so you can track the traffic coming from Google.
Do not be caught in the Google click fraud. Be aware and be wary.
