Invalid Clicks

**MoneyTalkPro.com** · 05-06-2007

Several of my friends have had their accounts disabled because of reported "invalid clicks." How is that reason justified? Couldn't someone just keep going to the same site and clicking on links all the time if they wanted to get that members' account disabled? I think Google needs to track it better and to provide a better reason than just "invalid clicks."

Yeah Google does need to be more specific. I guess you aren't suppose to click on the same link more than once within the same time period... (?)

Not really sure... Who knows what their methods are for tracking cheaters or supposed cheaters.

Definitely click exchanges and paid to surf sites are really easy for Google to differentiate. All they have to do is scrape your site's traffic and notice all of the entrances and exits for less than a few seconds and here comes your e-mail that you don't want.

I think that the tools and systems that Google uses to detect click fraud are highly advanced and I sincerely believe that almost all those people that get banned for click fraud were in some form or shape guilty of it.

Yes, their is a specific time period and i that period, you cannot click more than once as i tnink the techniques used by Google are very advanced and are simplly amazing.

All they do is see if the statistics changed dramatically in a short period of time and ban you.
They don't really investigate unless you request it, and even then, it's not guaranteed.
