How does Google detect an Invalid Click?
Google has 11 ways to detect whether an ad click is valid or invalid, with the following details:
1. IP address
If someone or you click on an ad from the same IP address that is used to access your AdSense account, your account is marked.
2. Click Through Rate / Click Through Rate (CTR)
Usually, Click Rate should not exceed 10%. Otherwise, Google will mark your account. For your information, normal CTR must range from 0.5% - 10%.
3. Location
Google has excellent tracking and technology software. They can trace the origin of traffic to the small town. So, using a different computer with a different IP address does not secure anything. So, don't try to click on your ad from various internet cafes or internet cafes. That will kill you.
4. Cookies
Most home users do not use static IP addresses for internet connections. In most cases only disconnecting the internet and reconnecting will give a new IP Address. But remember, Google has set a cookie on your computer. They can track these cookies and see if they are from the same computer.
5. Illegal Click Pattern 1
This is also suspicious, when there are visitors who click on an ad, after clicking they immediately leave your website (hit and run). Normal visitors usually browse the contents of the website first, after they see that there are ads that make them interested in, there is a possibility that the click is a natural click.
6. Illegal Click Pattern 2
There are visitors who often click on ads on the same website address but very rarely / never click on AdSense ads on other websites.
7. Illegal Click Pattern 3
Visitors or visitors who visit and often click on a website ad that comes from a computer bookmark or type directly on the website address in the browser. While on other websites he almost never clicks on other AdSense ads.
8. Other Google services
Besides Google Adsense, Google also provides a series of services to us. Don't just think that it's safe if you never log in to your AdSense account then click on your own ad. What other Google services do they provide for us? Here are some of the services of them: Gmail (most people use it), Google Earth, Google Calendar, Google Search, Google Toolbar, Google Talk, Google Sitemap, Google Desktop, Blogger, Youtube, maybe even their own browser (Google Chrome).
9. Ranking your website on search engines
Your website isn't indexed on every search engine, isn't connected to a reputable website, but consistently gets high visitors? How can visitors access your website and click on your ad? That will make Google smell the death.
10. Persuasion in writing
How about "Please click on the link below" or "Donate to our site by clicking on the ad"? This kind of ways are not in line with Google TOS. Google can use their search engine, or even humans (its agent google) to check your site from time to time.
11. Convert from Advertiser (Advertiser)
If there is an ad click from a visitor, we will get income. But does it bring benefits to advertisers? the point is that if there are visitors to our website who click on the ad voluntarily go to the advertiser's website, then the visitor is at home lingering on the advertiser's website and / or maybe buying a product or subscribing to something from the advertiser's website, maybe it will benefit the advertiser (Advertiser) .
If not, it means you are in trouble. First it hits Smart-Pricing, so your AdSense account is disabled. Don't try too much to increase the CTR as much as possible (using a website display that deceives the visitor indirectly to force a little click on your website) which turns out to be Google Banned. It's better to slow down but definitely increase visitors.
