Today, I noticed in my adsense reports that I’m getting another adsense attack just hours after I returned adsense to this blog. Whoever you are that’s clicking on my ads, thanks for always visiting my blog to check if my adsense is back or not. ^_^

I searched around the web for a solution in detecting click fraud since my current stat trackers, Wordpress.com Stats, Firestats and AWStats don’t show where the user clicked. My search resulted in my discovery of the Webtool called ClickAider. This post will serve as an introduction to ClickAider and will be written just like a FAQ.

What is ClickAider?

ClickAider is an analysis tool that helps publishers maximize revenues from Pay-Per-Click Advertisements. (ClickAider Homepage)

Basically, ClickAider is a webtool that will help you keep track of the clicks on your website. It claims that it can even track clicks on ads such as Adsense and YPN.

Do you need this?

If you are just like me who recently got attacked through adsense clicking, then you do need this. You would like to know who is attacking you right? You need a tool such as this that will try to track all clicks made and provide you with the time and IP address of the click origin. Using these information, you can report it to Google to defend your claim that you are not clicking your own ads or made someone else do it.

How do you install this to your website?

• First you have to register for an account in ClickAider.
• Add the necessary information about your blog such as blog name and url
• ClickAider will provide you with a JavaScript code for you to paste in your blog template. You just have to make sure that you paste the code somewhere before the </body> tag.

Will I get banned on adsense when I use Clickaider?

No. I also did a search for clickaider in Google Groups Adsense Help and found no sufficient evidence saying that you will get banned for using this. For more info, please refer to the Adsense Program Policy.

If you have more questions about this, you can write a comment about it or check out the ClickAider FAQ.

Note:

I could not make a review for the effective of clickaider yet since I just started using it.
