How do Google Adsense checks for fraud clicks !!!!

Google Adsense is very popular online advertisement program that can give you good revenue for all advertisements you place on each page on your website. Many webmaster have used it as a source of income and daily bread & butter. Some greedy webmasters may think to cheat Google Adsense system and want to be millionaire in one night but think twice, don’t play with Adsense they have very tight fraud click detection system which can ban your account permanently. Here are some detection methods they use.

IP Address
If the AdSense click is originated from the same IP Address as the one used for accessing your AdSense account, your account is flagged.

Cookies
Most home users do not use static IP Address for Internet connection. In most cases just disconnect and reconnect will give you a new IP Address. But don’t forget, Google has set cookies on your computer.

Click-Through-Rate (CTR)
Your CTR may range from 0.5% to 10%, but if it exceeds a certain point (probably around 10%), you are flagged.

Geo-Location
Google can trace traffics origin down to the small town. Different IP doesn’t mean much. Unless your site is really targeted to one small geo-point, a high number of clicks from nearby location will get you banned quickly.

Hardware address?
MAC address of the LAN card, modem, and router works almost like a fingerprint. I’m not sure if Google can track this, but probably they do.

Advertisers conversion rate
Ad click is one thing. But does it bring value to the advertisers? If none of the clicks on your site translate to conversion to the advertiser, you are in trouble. First the Smart-Pricing hits, then your AdSense account disabled.

Search Engine Ranking

Your website is not indexed on any search engine, not linked by any prominent website, but get consistently high traffic? That sounds like something is in play. Regardless of whether it is an Adware-Embedded Software, Spam, Trojan clickbot, or intentionally installed Click-Exchange network, it doesn’t sound right.

Webpage Design
How about the “click here” or “support us” by clicking ads !!!  Google has the best search engine in the world and can easily find out such attractive words making your website visitors to click your ads which can lead your account to get ban,

Thus it’s almost impossible to cheat AdSense in the long term hence instead of spending time, money, and effort trying to outsmart Google, work hard for getting more traffic to your website and add helpful relevant content to your website which will bring you great revenue.

Dealing with Iframe virus infected websites.

Sometime your website may get infected by virus or may get hacked which may result for injection  of HTML : Iframe virus.  Well, even if you check your php files and the source code from the browser you may not get any iframe embedded in your source code.
Solution for this problem is to get in touch with your webhosting service provider as they can remove the ‘iframe’ injected code from the files under the account.
Such code can be injected for your account due to following reasons :
1. mod_security disabled on the server.
2. the files were downloaded through ftp, code was injected and uploaded on the server again.

If files are ioncube encrypted then it’s not possible to verify if the files are still injected and affected hence its better to verify the files with the backup you have at your end also before removing the iframe from your site you should clean your pc first. scan it with an anti-virus. And then change FTP password,  this is very important before removing iframe. If you don’t clean your pc and change your FTP account password it will keep coming back.

Website security Tips

Secure Website from hackers !!!

Having up-to-date versions of all scripts you are using for your website will keep your website away from all bad hackers who are trying to target your websites. As a conscious webmaster you should always keep an eye on all latest released versions of available scripts and should update your website regularly. If you are using Wordpress or Joomla as CMS for your website then its always better to check installed versions for your website. Usually hackers search for websites who are still using very older versions of applications and once they found any such website they just get into your account and will take total control of it.

website security tipsOne more point to be noted about website security is about Passwords, you should never discuss your passwords with anyone, never use weak password which is easy to guess or the same password more than once; If someone finds your webmail password you’re pretty much guaranteed they’ll try it elsewhere - maybe in cPanel, maybe on your online banking! Hence you should take utmost care about choosing proper password, also don’t forget to Password Protect Your Admin Folder of any script you are using, if you are using cpanel hosting control panel  as your webhosting control panel then you can easily protect such vital directories by clicking the Directory Protection link.
Well, think worst and if your website got hacked first step should be changing all passwords for cpanel, emails, site admin and all other….. Next step would be removing all old script installations try to install latest versions for them and get up-to-date website  with latest plugins and their versions.
You should also check Error Logs within your cPanel for suspicious requests. Generally, a hacker leaves suspicious files around, so look for such files within your public_html folder.
once you manage to get the culprit file get all details about that file and ask your webhosting service provider to check it and then delete it.
If you don’t keep things up-to-date and secure, your site have greater chances for being getting hacked for which you will have to pay a good value or will have to face a lot. Thus as saying goes “ Prevention is better then cure “ now its the perfect time to stop such hacking attempts and tighten your website security.

If you use Look up “Pulp Fiction”  you can retrieve the Wikipedia article along with screenshots, covers, posters  and trailers  from the movie. This site is based upon Wikipedia’s platform having a special complementary media & discussion layer. Aslike Wikipedia, you can edits anonymously that mean anyone can edit the data, images and videos associated with any article without registering an account.
