How to Track Invalid Clicks to Safeguard Your Adsense Account?

Lately, many blogs (including us) are facing this issue of being bombarded with invalid clicks on adsense ads – with an aim to get their adsense accounts blocked.
This activity is usually carried out by your rivals or those who are not happy with your existence, call it professional jealousy, personal grudge or any other possible thing.
So here are tips to track invalid adsense clicks, to make sure you are on safe side.
Frequently Monitor of your Adsense Account

• Make sure that you are monitoring your adsense account at least once a day, 3-4 times a day is even better.
• Keep a watch on CTR (Click through rate) – to make sure it’s around your daily average
• If your CTR goes significantly high, then it’s time to start worrying and to do the necessary to make sure you are safe.

Tracking Invalid Adsense Clicks:
If there’s an invalid click activity in your adsense account – there are chances that Google will suspend your account without asking you anything. You will be given only one chance to prove that the clicks were invalid, and didn’t originate from your computer or your friends’ computer.
Google may ask you for IP details or other logs that you may provide them in order to get your account reinstated.
We know that you have Google analytics installed but unfortunately Google Analytics doesn’t provide much details about the visitors, such as their IP addresses, exit links and so on.
So what to do in this situation?

• Register an account on statcounter.com (I am assuming you are familiar with basic setup, hence not going deep into details)
• Follow the wizard to add new project (i.e. is your website)
• Install the code on your website provided by statcounter.com – there’s an option to deploy invisible code (meaning that no counter button will be displayed)
• You are good to go…

Statcounter will instantly start tracking your website for each single incoming visitor, outgoing links, or you can call them exit links, downloads and much more.
You need to focus on exit link activity to make sure that clicks on ads are valid – and there’s nothing suspicious going on. For this, go to your statcounter account, open the project you just created and check for stats, exit link activity being most crucial of them:
