Click fraud is the act of clicking on ads for the purpose of costing the advertiser money. Many people website owners are aware of this fraud and are sharing the same sentiment that this is the one big problem that Adsense is facing. Many web site owners are getting their Google Adsense account terminated when they have done nothing wrong to deserve the punishment.

Here are some tips how do you prevent being involved in this click fraud?

1. Majority of web hosts are offering access logs. This allows them to look for any suspicious activity on your site. It can also help if you have a click monitoring software. As usual, all the information you have received should be turned over to Google. This is showing Google that you too are fighting against click frauds and is in no way a part of it. Study your server logs and watch for any activity that seems suspicious. Report anything that you may find odd, may it big or small thing.

2. You may want to consider disabling ads for your own IP address and local geographic area. This will certainly prevent accidents and will not make Google mistake another user as you.

3. Keep your Adsense off on pop ups and pop unders. Your ads should not be displayed on content sites that promote illegal activity or tampering of the legal rights of other people or business. If you think that you may be breaking this rule, immediately remove your content or Adsense from the web page.

4. Be truthful and confess up to Google about times when you might have clicked on your own as, whether accidentally or intentionally. Confessing is way better than Google learning about it eventually.

5. Do not tell your family or friends about Adsense on your website. Chances are they may start clicking on them to help you make money without you knowing it. If ever someone you know chanced upon your Adsense, make sure they understand that they cannot click on your ads under any circumstances.

There are major things why many web site owners are getting their Google Adsense account terminated when they have done nothing wrong.
