Click Fraud

[windjc]

So, when you find an ip address click frauding your ads, do any of you have techniques that make it unpleasant for the click frauder to want to do it again?

Or do you just take in the chin, ban the ip and move on?

I'm trying to figure out if its worth my time to go after them, are if I should just move on.

You could force his IP to get dick rolled every time he clicks with a bit of PHP coding?

that would be hilarious. haven't a clue how to do that though.

Anyone use SocialMedia.com ? Tons of clicks are coming from China. Time for some coding.

<?
if ($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] == "1.2.3.4") {
header("Location: http://makemoniesonline.com");
die();
}
?>

i didn't check this for errors, just typed it out.. should work though.

erm, that font in the php box is blinding on this skin-theme, sorry

In my opinion, it's not worth it. I personally had my Adsense account banned because some f**k kept clicking my ads repeatedly and Google thought it was someone I'd paid, or told to do so. I tried over and over again to get them to reinstate my account (which was making me around $2K a month) but they didn't want to know me.
