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 access 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.
