hi
Let me say u what google terms as an invalid activity and how does google know it is happening !!
Invalid activities : 1. Clicking the ads of your publisher own id
2. Having text like click in the ads .. click here .. please click .. etc
3. Refreshing your blog too often without having any new posts
4. Getting your local friends to click on your ads and doing the same for them
5. Using some software or bot to click on ads or create page impressions
6. Joining in sites that brings you visitors if u visit others' website
7. Posting pornographic contents .. or links relating to that
8. Autosurf programs ... these are very dangerous and can get u banned very soon
9. Though the program creates only page impressions .. google detects it as invalid page impressions and can ban u for that reason
10. Joining in a network who will click your ads if u click theirs
The greatest challenge for google is to detect the invalid activities of each and every other person It practically seems to be impossible for them to detect what is going on and how and by whom and when But once you submit your site to google adsense .. google has got its firm grip in yours and watching overtime to keep you out of adsense if any single invalid activity is found .
And this is how google detect them
1. Using some google products while clicking on ads
2. The important thing is that .. google can trace the source that sent to ur site Eg: search engines .. google can see which search engine sent u the visitor on which keyword .. usually this is not an invalid activity but .. if u post ur links in messengers and orkut requesting others to click it soon google will be watching you ... it will detect the source .. but may not know it is genuine or not.. so for safer side dont post links
3. Using an ip that dont change and clicking your friends ads will keep them banned google knows the location of ips and the address and even the service provider if many clicks come from the same old ip .. or the same location .. you may be on vigorous watch !! ( though there are sites that deals with local area articles and activities .. they get an exception )
4. Sudden visitor and sudden clicks
5. Too many refreshes in a little time .. google detects how long your visitor stays in your page and where he goes in your page . wat interests him ... etc and even where he is landing next !!
6. If your visitor clicks only your ads and goes to the page and stays no longer than 10 seconds without even checking the contents .. it may cause suspicions
7. Google products your visitors use !!
8. Cookies .. but this is not the only thing google relies .. but for newbies it may be vital blow Cookies enabled browsers can get google watch near you .. be on alert clear all your data .. history .. cookies once you leave every session
9. No new posts for a considerable period .. but still visitors and clicks !! it causes ambiguity and even suspicions to the google botLabels: Account banned, autosurf, clicks and page impressions, google detects, how google detects invalid clicks, invalid activity, invalid page impressions, visitors |
