Hey guys.
I own 7 websites. One is rather bigger with about 10 000 visits a month, 5 are small niche sites and 6th is a related site to the bigger one (same theme) but only about 600-700 visits a month.

So on Tuesday (October 6) I noticed something strange on the 6th site, it had about 5 visit in the morning and 15 clicks. Thought I only got money for only 1 click it seems.

I have to note that on Monday I did some changes to the site, I added more ads and changed ad positioning. But I don't know how it could influence this.

I got a bit freaked out, read Google forums, thought maybe I am being click bombed, and wrote a letter to Google support (invalid clicks form), telling them that I've spotted some suspicious activity on one of my sites. They never replied and in the next few days the site seemed to have a legit impressions vs clicks ratio. Maybe 2-3 clicks for 30-40 impressions.

Today (Monday, October 10), I woke up and looked at Adsense account and I've got 6 impressions and 9 clicks on that same website. I went into "allowed sites options", and excluded the site for now.

Is someone click bombing me, or does Google glitch like that at times?
Can I get banned for this? What would you guys recommend?

I am thinking I'll keep the site disallowed for a month, and then maybe put it back up?

Any other recommendations?
 


It just takes a little time in the AM for the impressions and clicks to all line up with different data centers. Your ok, check just your stats a couple times a day. This is not that unusual. I'm sure it pans out and looks normal in the latter half of the day.
 
Google can actually fuck you up on this one, you're def. not over-reacting.

I speak from experience. Just wait it out and allow the site back after a week or two.

Probably competitors with malicious intent.
 
probably your competitors are trying something odd.... google employees always likes to ban people with nasty reasons.

Anyways, remove ads for few days and monetize with alternatives until you get a reply from adsense team.
 
I've heard that its better to place adsense below the fold, it its not already.

Also check your webs stats to see if the clicks/visits are coming from the same IP address.
 
This fucking happened to me. Some absolute cunt click bombed my site, so like the good little scout I am, I filed an invalid click report, removed the ads for a few days and low and behold, my account gets perm disabled with a month's earnings from a few big sites.

Google can get to fuck.
