Many web site owners are getting their Google Adsense account terminated when
they have done nothing wrong to deserve the punishment. Considering that they
could be making some good money with Adsense this is certainly something a
person wants to avoid.

What is click fraud?

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 website
owners are aware of this fraud and are sharing the same sentiment that this is the
one big problem that Adsense is facing.

Here are 8 ways to avoid being targeted for click fraud:

#1
– Get 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.

#2 - You will also want to 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.

#3 - Consider disabling ads for your own IP address and local geographic area. This
will certainly prevent accidents and will guarantee that Google doesn't mistake
another user as you.

#4 - Keep your Adsense off of pop ups and pop unders.

#5 – Never display ads on content sites that promote illegal activity or tampering of
the legal rights of other people or businesses. If you think that you may be breaking
this rule, immediately remove your content or Adsense from the web page.

#6 - Be truthful and confess up to Google about times when you might have clicked
on your own as ads. Confessing is way better than Google learning about it
eventually and terminating your account.

#7 – Don't 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.

#8 – Make sure that people who know about your website 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.

Final thoughts

Google offers suggestion on how to avoid click fraud. The main thing is to be honest
and not try and get away with a few extra clicks here and there.
