Click invalids and Adsense, how to defend themselves
Let's face, with the proliferation of new sites / blogs and the ease to open, using such platforms like Blogspot, that, while being totally ignorant, allows you to have your own blog, there has been a parallel boom in the main and easiest method of earning online, google adsense.
As in all things, came the so-called “killjoy”, thanks to which it arose the problem of fraudulent clicks. Also I have had this problem and I'm still following, e Darren Rowse stesso, di Problogger.net, n'ha spoke yesterday in un guest post.
In essence, highlights what experienced users know:
- Click “Invalid”, caused by someone accidentally click on an ad, but immediately closes the page appeared
- Click “ignorant” caused by people impractical, children or elderly people, that, it is well known, have a pressing need to click randomly on anything
- Clicks made by bots, then click Automatic, che vengono subito scoperti da Google
- Click “fraudulent”, made with the specific intent to ban that account, and then, in a hypothetical war medieval, cut supplies (monetary) that site / blog, and risking closure.
Google carefully analyzes many factors, to determine whether or not there is the complicity of the publisher, but more often, inclines to eliminate the root problem, and ban the small publisher, to reimburse the advertiser damaged by these invalid clicks.
What to do?
As I wrote, I recently had these problems, and I wrote a post on the official forums to help Google Adsense this address. CTR suspects, above the 10%, are always to watch, because there is almost certainly something wrong!
The first remedy is to use contact Google and report this strange behavior. Sufficient to open THIS LINK and select “Invalid Clicks or Unusual Account Activity”.
If Google will find something strange in your account, will contact you. In any case, there will be created a credit to them, so that, in the case of poor prognosis of “doctors” Adsense, they will see that you have tried to report you strange behaviors in your account.
This is the most immediate solution we have available, although unfortunately the reality is that many accounts are unjustly banned, people lose their money (sometimes hundreds of eur) accumulated in their account, and some have even made of class action against Google.
There will never be a solution to fraudulent clicks? The answer is simple… non si sa 🙂
