Oh no… There was a crazy guy wanted to sabotage me. He clicked a lot of AdSense ads. I think he is using bot to do so. Because it is really a lot. More than 30,000 clicks. I don’t think a human can do it.

How to avoid Google AdSense click fraud? I also don’t know. But I took below steps to avoid it.

• Remove the ad code.
• Set my own domains on Allowed Sites only.

Why remove the ad code? That guy clicked on Large Rectangle – top channel ad on JayceOoi.com root level. Based on Google Analytics, that ad only brings less than USD 3 in 1 month. Removed it is a good decision. No use to put it there as it wastes space.

Set own domains on Allowed Sites also will help to reduce your Google AdSense code being used by others to do evil thing ~ click fraud sabotage. All the other domains that using your ad code will be ignore by Google. Therefore, all the worry will be gone.

I made a review of Advertlets at JayceOoi.com back in May 2007. After one year, how did Advertlets perform? Hmm… In short, Advertlets turns from bad to worst.

Advertlets.com

Advertlets was good before September 2007. It turned bad since September 2007 because the earning dropped sharply. And Advertlets started accuse bloggers for click fraud. I was one of the victims back then. I stopped showing Advertlets Ads back in December 2007.

Josh Lim promised that all the delayed cash out would be sent out according to the schedule Advertlets set. However, I still see bloggers do not receive payment after cash out. More and more bloggers do not get what they deserve.

You can continue serve Advertlets Ads. However, just make sure that you have the time to send a lot of emails, issue support tickets and even call Josh Lim himself to get your payment. I did all these painful steps in order to get my payment.

Do you want to experience it?
