Many website owners get their Google account terminated when they have done nothing wrong to deserve the penalty. With the money they get from they would definitely want to get back into it. With the money to be made from Adsense, it's no wonder they'd want to get back into it. It's the same reasoning behind Google click fraud and why many people fall for it. Click fraud is the act of clicking on ads for the purpose of costing the advertiser money. It's just the same as paying cash for fake leads. Many website owners are aware of this scam and share the same opinion that this is one big problem that is facing. How do you avoid getting involved in this scam? Most web hosts offer access protocols. Once it is offered to you, it is necessary that you also pass it on to Google. This allows them to look for any suspicious activity on your site. Problems like this are very and giving them this is saying that you would like to help them however you can in solving the problem. It can also help if you have click tracking software. If you don't have one yet, you should try to get one. There is absolutely no significant factor preventing you from having one, as most of this software is free. As usual, any information you receive should be forwarded to Google. By doing so, you show Google that you too are fighting fraudulent clicks and are in no way part of it. Study the server logs and watch for any activity that seems suspicious. Report anything that may seem odd to you, whether it's a big or small thing. You may consider disallowing ads for your own IP address and local geographic area. This will definitely prevent accidents and prevent Google from mistaking another user for you. You can do this through an htaccess file. This will avoid Google clicking on your own ads and getting fired for it. Keep your Adsense off on pop ups and pop ups. Your ads should not appear on content pages that promote illegal activity or interfere with the legal rights of other people or businesses. This includes content that is considered adult content and gambling. If you believe you are violating this rule, please remove your content or AdSense from the website immediately. Be honest and admit to Google about situations where you may have clicked on your own, either accidentally or on purpose. Or the times you've done something that violates the terms of service they implement. Be honest about everything you did wrong. Confession is much better than Google eventually finding out. It would mean possibly quitting and not getting what you worked so hard for. Don't tell your family or friends about Adsense on your website. Chances are they will start clicking on them to help you make money without you knowing. They may be doing you more harm than good by trying. If someone you know ever comes across your Adsense, make sure they understand that they cannot click on your ads under any circumstances. It would be wise to inform them about the important things about Adsense and what not to do with it. Most pay-per-click networks have various measures in place to protect website owners against fraudulent clicks. Other search engines can track more than 50 data points, IP address, browser information, user session information and pattern recognition. They also have "systems" in place that detect fraud. Not to mention dedicated teams that monitor how things are going and help advertisers stop click fraud.
