I just keep wondering why people keep loosing their Google Adsense account over invalid clicking activities and most of them don’t even know what it means or are very innocent.
Well, it means Google bots has detected a particular pattern of clicking on your site. Lets say a visitor enters your site, doesn’t spend even a minute then clicks an ad and just leaves.
Google logs it. When this processis repeated 7 – 8 times daily for 2 – 3 days, saybye bye to your account. Most times it’s not your fault because someone may just want to punish you buy coming to your site and clickingads or even spammers, after spamming your comment box they click your ads and leave.
Its just sad. And you wonder, what can you do about this. Well its EasyFirstly, report any unusually increase in the CTR(Click Through Rates) on your blog to Google immediately you notice it.
That way even if they ban your account, you can refer to the mail where you laid complain about this increase earlier
Secondly, You should download and install the Adsense Click Fraud Monitor. This unique plugin helps you monitor where the clicks are coming from and gives you the ability to ban specific IP addresses from clicking the ads.
If you see one IP clicking ads up to 3 times, it would be wise to immediately ban that IP from seeing ads. The user would see access your website, but ads would no longer display.
Awesome right? It doesn’t end there. You can go further to set how many times an IP would click adverts in a day before it gets automatically ban.(Most people set 2 a day and 14 a week from an IP address).
This also means that you don’t have to monitor it by yourself round the clock. You can specify all these in the settings of the plugin.
Lastly and more importantly in a case where you get a ban, you can easily open this plugin and get the IP of visitors who clicked ad to Google to prove the invalid clicking was done by visitors and not you.

So here you have it. With this you do not have to worry so much about getting a ban from Adsense
Flash Tip:
- Putting your earnings on hold if you haven’t downloaded this plugin yet wouldn’t be wise because what would you do when google Strikes the blow and you can’t retrieve your account? Obviously even if you have $13000 there its all gone.
- Removing ads from places like on top and under post area would help reduce the changes of getting invalid clicking
Have any questions, or need to retrieve your Adsense account? leave a comment and we would respond immediately

Hi AppMarch,
I can see that the author is yet to update this plugin and certainly might pose some kind of risk, this is why the official link was removed pending when it is updated or taken up by another developer.
Do have a lovely week ahead
Hi, Obasi, but generally it is safe to use?
I haven’t had a single issue with it till date but do not currently have it active on any of our websites
Ok, Thank You :)
Hi where is the download link ?
the plugin is no longer in the WordPress repository but there’s one at https://github.com/wp-plugins/adsense-click-fraud-monitoring
Keep in mind that the free old version is outdated and far behind the current version available on the original author site: http://demo.clickfraud-monitoring.com/
