Hi guys. Finally I’m back after a long silence. I was so tight up with my personal matters hence browsing was the only thing I did. Now I’m all out for posting stories which already eating up most of my brain storage.

For the past few weeks I’ve been reading stories about how some of our fellow bloggers had their AdSense account disabled due to click fraud. Are they guilty as charged or just another injustice story of big G. It’s scary to read some of their stories as though we’re leaving in a fragile world, anytime without notice we could be eliminated, without no reason. All our hard works flush into the drain. Even if we look into Google’s TOS it’s clearly portray so. What should we do? Aren’t there a way for us to appeal? Should we start considering alternatives to AdSense?

Well I leave that decision to you. As for me I use few ads agencies. But before you decide anything maybe you need to understand few things first:

What is click fraud?
In general click fraud is an activity done by clicking a monetize link in order to get a benefits out of it. Whereas in actual clicking was supposed to meant for an actual content searching. (my own terms)

As per Wikipedia, click fraud is a type of Internet crime that occurs in pay per click online advertising when a person, automated script, or computer program imitates a legitimate user of a web browser clicking on an ad, for the purpose of generating a charge per click without having actual interest in the target of the ad’s link.

Whatever meaning it serve, the big question mark is, how can anyone differentiate between a click fraud and a genuine click. If a click fraud is done should the account holder be charged. Is there a way to appeal. We always believe that a big company like our big G should be able to handle it. But stories aroused online mostly claim not. Instead it makes us think will our turn be next.

A good case which could best answers those questions is from stason.org. It comes with copies of emails communicated between Google AdSense and the person accused. Learn from it and get yourself prepared for any circumstances.
