March 27th, 2009 by Lax

Are you a good blogger? Are you my competitor? Earning more than me? If yes to all, I don’t like you. Yes I don’t like you to stay in this online market. I want to pull you down. See how I will Do that!

Not me, anyone can pull you down with the help of weapon called click fraud. Obviously everyone will use some ad networks like Adsense to earn money. Who doesn’t nowadays? According to a online survey 68% of website owners don’t know much about this click fraud. I don’t want you to sit in that 68%. So let’s talk about this…

Click fraud is one of the Latest bits of thuggery to hit the online world. Like spam or viruses, click fraud can cause serious damage. Even more some time!

What is click fraud and why is it on the rise?

Click fraud is defined as someone who clicks on a paid ad with the intent of clicking rather than because of interest in goods or services. Advertisers are the first victims here as they lose the money with pay per click rule and didn’t get any lead or real click in return to the money they spend.

Then secondly website owners are the victims from this fraud clicking as their account will be blocked by ad networks without any Reasons/explanations. Google takes this click fraud very serious and even they don’t give you the reasons why your AdSense account got blocked.

Sadly, click fraud is the price of the Web’s success. In rather short order, Internet advertising, including search engine marketing, has gone from a dot-com joke to nearly a $10 Billion business, according to Price waterhouse Coopers-A US based financial auditing company.

Who are these click-fraud artists? Typically, these people are known to you.

  • Your competitors: Very dangerous people, who can do anything to drag you down. They can click on your keyword ads continuously which may lead to a ban from ad networks.
  • Automated Programmers: Sadist people, who enjoys you pain. They will invest their programming skills to announce win on web. They can run a software bot on you site which can rack up thousands of clicks per hour.
  • Paid clickers: Who doesn’t know that they are doing something illegal to earn. Times of India (News agency) recently reported on Indian housewives and college students who are earning up to $200 a month clicking on ads for a few hours a day, without really knowing its fraud.
  • Small scale website owners: A small scale blog owner who wants to earn fast money will create a community around the people. The community is intended to participate in click exchange programs to earn money.

Advertisers & Ad agencies investing lots of money to detect this click fraud. But how will you survive as a website/blog owner. How will you escape from account blockages?

That part I planned to cover in my next article with all the details. How many of you know about this Click Fraud? Share with us! Happy Blogging!

    Good information yar. Pls don’t block my a/c :)

  • Click Fraud always a scary part for any blog..
    few of my friends asked me to help me by clicking on my advertisement and I know how I have to explain the theory of click fraud to them…..

    I think Adsense should implement something new..
    like if a single IP is clicking on ad n number of times…its better to uncount that IP clicks rather then punishing the publisher…

  • Lax says:

    @ Softhydit,

    Too funny..i wont block you a/c :)

    @ Harsh,

    Thats true idea Harsh.. I though the same and every one i think. Google shouldn’t punish us for some fraud guys interests.

    Great idea you shared dude.Keep rocking here…….

  • It sucks when we read about these things. Why bloggers should get punished because of some culprit guys.

    @ Harsh,

    I completely agree with you. Every ad network should follow that procedures to prevent this kind of harassment.

    @Brilliant4biz,

    Thanks for sharing your opinion here. You people are very true, But how listen to us :) everybody got their own TOS to follow.

  • It’s not that easy for someone to get your Adsense account Banned. If that was the case, 99% of the adsense accounts would be banned within 5 days. Seriously, its very easy to commit click fraud, there are thousands of services and software that can Do that…

  • Agent 001 says:

    Paid Clickers sound pretty bad.

    By the way nice info. I am also thinking about Ruchir’s Comment. Lax any comment.

  • Lax says:

    @ Ruchir,

    Good point dude, Google is using and investing so much of money on the software’s which can detect click fraud.

    If your site very popular and targeted by click fraud, there are very less chances to get your account blocked.

    If your site is very new and getting very less amount of traffic and targeted to click fraud, which giving 100 clicks for day for 100 impressions. Then you will be the victim for sure.. I’m right?

    @Agent,

    Ruchir is correct, but there are chance more to be get blocked if your site not that popular..

  • TJG says:

    @ Ruchir,

    You’re correct man. If that was the case about 90% would have blocked.

    But as lax said it depends on your site size and number of clicks per impressions you’re getting.

  • Great work mate, some really nice info and really was something I enjoyed reading from an informative point of view.

  • hmm, Yeah you are right.. right now my blog is not very popular, that is good but.. with this fraud anyone can be a victim.. so how I want to prevent this from happen huhuh
