The thing which is threatening most of the AdSense publishers is Click Fraud because of which many people got there accounts banned by Google and there's nothing they can do about it. But what is fraud clicking? It is when someone keeps clicking on your Google ads either because you asked someone to do so or it might be because your rival is trying to get you out of his way by taking away your source of income. Try to follow the tips I'm going to share with you and hopefully you'll stay safe.
- Login from only one IP
Google keeps a record of every machine IP address used to look at your account so what happens is that if you check your AdSense report on a computer then someone else clicks on your ads from the same computer/same IP, Google sees this as click fraud. Try avoiding it.
- Clicks from fake traffic sources
Keep yourself updated with the AdSense TOS for sources of traffic that aren't allowed by Google. These includes methods like Traffic exchange, PTC advertising, Auto surf. I also believe that these visitors or bots will only bring you close to smart pricing. The logic is very simple if there is a visitor that just comes on your website but never clicks on your ad will be considered cheap and Google won't display expensive ads that pay more on your website. Try to focus on your Keywords and bring maximum traffic from search engines
- Don't tell friends and family
Telling your friends and family about your websites that makes money from Google can be a real problem. Even if you tell them not to click on your ads there's always a chance that someone will think it's a good idea to make some extra money for you. They try to give you a favor by clicking your ads and think that it will make you a good amount of money but it will only lead you to a Disabled AdSense Account.
- Unusual Activity
You need to check your AdSense report at least once a day and it's best if you do that at the end of the day and if you find any unusual activity on the website, report it to Google as soon as possible. If 70% of your traffic comes from search engines then Google will trust you easily. It's a fact.
