AdSense - Invalid clicks

AdSense - Invalid clicksIt's possible that you have some clicks , and Google's monitoring system has considered it as AdSense - Invalid clicks.
As I' ve mentioned before in my previous Adesnes Tips post , Google monitor all clicks and impressions on Google ads for any activity that may artificially drive up an advertiser's costs or a publisher's earnings.
Because Google dose not charge for any Invalid clicks so google also not pay you. You can check all Invalid clicks on 'Overview' page, under the Reports tab of you Adsense account.

What if I accidentally clicked on my own ads.
Although publishers are not permitted to click on their own ads for any reason, Google do understand that accidental clicks may occur. We therefore don't require that you contact us every time you click on your ads. Rest assured that your account is being properly credited for all clicks and impressions we consider to be valid.

So how can you be VICTIM of Invalid clicks

  1. If you click on your website google ads FROM YOUR PC (same PC, which you use to login into Adsense Account).

  2. If someone frequently clicks on your website adsense ads for ard. 5 - 10 times a day for ard. 5 - 6 days regularly.

  3. If you send E-mail that requested to click on your site Google ads.

  4. Ignore Adsense Program Policies & TOS

  5. Buy, write, or use click-bot software. Click-bot software will go around your site and click on your ads. Most of the times, these click-bots are using proxies to avoid detection.

  6. Extra words to make your visitors to notice your ads. Write “Click here” or “Please support us” or “Visit our sponsors”. Anything other than Google-approved “sponsored links” or “advertisements”.

  7. Put your adsense code in email the email, usenet, RSS, etc.
