Adsense Click Fraud!!!


Google Adsense is one of the most amazing income sources on the Internet.
Just paste some code into your webpage, and Google will send you checks every Mmonth, without you having the trouble of making sales, keeping stock, or supporting customers.

But there is a big problem with Adsense... "CLICK FRAUD".

"Click Fraud" occurs when you try to cheat Google, by clicking on the Adsense links on your own page to generate more income. This is easy to do, and takes the form of repeated clicking fron the same pc. Google will become suspicious of this activity, and will regularly check their Adsense accounts for this "Click Fraud'.

If you have never tried to cheat Google in this way, you may be telling yourself this problem has nothing to do with you. But hear this... There are many reports on the Internet of "Adsense accounts being suspended or closed" because of suspicious activity, even though the persons involved, never try to cheat Google.

Here is an example: Mike was getting a steady $50 a day income from Adsense, but he split with his girlfriend of 10 years. Guess what happend next... She visited Mike's site and click away on his adsense to her delight.
The results ? Mike's account was closed down. Over $18.000.00 a year, gone down the drain. And Mike had noting to do with it. This is only one of many examples.

People use this "Click Fraud' to shut down competitors sites. People bearing a grudge against you, uses it to get their revenge. And the list goes on!!!

You see, anyone can click on your ads, then click their Browser back button, and click on the ads again. Doing this repeatedly makes it suspicious activity, which can get your account suspended or closed permanently.

Trying to convince Google it was not your fault, is almost impossible. Once your account has been closed, you are not allowed to apply for another account, ever again.

There was this guy who was so worried about this problem, that he checked his visitors stats every day and would contact google if he sees anything suspicious, just to protect himself. If he is going on vacation, he removes the Adsense Ads from every one of his sites.

You may be saying, this Guy is crazy, he will loose revenue. But that is how worried he was about this "Click Fraud" problem, and he took the best steps he knew of, to protect his income. I would have done the same thing, until i could find a better way of doing things.

I can hear you asking, what can i do to protect myself from this "Click Fraud"?
As for me, i was fortunate to discover 'Adsense Click Lock", and i uses this to protect my Adsense account, automatically.

I hope you found this information informative, and take the steps to secure your Adsense account. Because you could wake-up in the morning and discover your Adsense account is closed, and you were not the one cheating Google.
