I know that there are a lot of active readers here on JackBook dot com that are also AdSense publishers at the same time. As a new blogger (like me), using AdSense to monetize your blog would be a little tricky. Sometime on this money making journey with AdSense you will get tempted (I know, I did
) to boost your earnings and try to cheat the system. Some of the most common ways to get clicks are going to internet shops to personally clicking on the ads and asking your friends to click on them. This would be a very very huge mistake on your part.
The list below will contain facts of how Google keeps track and detect fraud clicks from you AdSense Ads.
1. IP Address
This is the most obvious way of tracking invalid clicks. If you do this, you are just plainly dumb. (sorry for the term) For the new ones, if you log-in to your google account or any account for a site that google owns, they save your IP address, it is your computer’s physical address on the world wide web.
Basically, google would know you clicked on your own ad.

2. Physical LocationGoogle is a multi-million or billion dollar company. This means that they could afford softwares of all kinds, one of this is the kind that tracks geographical location of any person using their web services. So, don’t try to click your ads using the computers on an internet shop, especially the ones that are near your place of residence. Trust me, google will know.
3. Click Through Rate (CTR)
Any sane person would know that having a CTR above 10% would be highly unlikely. Normal Click thru Rate stands at 0.5% - 10%. Any higher than that and you will get flagged and potentially banned from being a publisher ever again.
4. Cookies
Most of the ISPs around the world don’t use static IP Addresses for Internet connection. This would mean that by disconnecting and reconnecting again you would be able to acquire a new IP address. So, is this a way to cheat google? Nope! Don’t forget, Google sets cookies on your computer when you use any of their web services.

5. Pattern of the Clicks
This would be best describe with the phrase “Hit and Run“. A very noticeable thing on the eyes of Google is when you get an ad click and then than person leaves the site right after the click. Another noticeable pattern is when you constantly get a visitor that directly inputs your site or blogs URL on their web browser or from a bookmark and clicks on your ads.
6. Clicking Habit and History
Ask yourself this question. Have you clicked on other AdSense other than yours? Google can track your ad clicking history and if you just click on this one ad publisher all the time. That would raise some eyebrows, don’t you think?
8.Forgetting of the Other Google ServicesDon’t forget, google records all the IP addresses of their users. They can acquire and set cookies on your computer when you log in to any service that they offer, not just AdSense. Examples are blogger, Google Analytics, GMail or Google Mail and more.
10. Search Engine Ranking and Page Rank
If you have a website or blog that is not yet indexed by google and has no traffic whatsoever but yet still get clicks on your adsense ads.
11. Advertiser’s Conversion Rate
Lets assume that you got pass all of these. Google hasn’t caught you cheating (which I doubt) One last thing you need to pass is the advertiser’s conversion rate. This would be best explained with the question “Did the clicks bring value to the advertisers?” If not, then you are in trouble my man.
12. Webpage Design and Content
Placing the text “Please click a link below” or “donate us by clicking the ads” would get noticed by the Google bot. Again, trust me, google would know. These are indirect violation of the Google AdSense TOS that you agreed to when you signed up. Ad placement is also another thing.
Thats it, hope you learn and stay away from this activities
Good luck on the monetization of your blogs. ![]()
