Personally, I prefer to use Firefox with the Adblock Plus plugin. The big advantage is, that I do not use to put the two class B subnets of my provider in that array and can easily check, if ads and content match.

Nice trick, but I don’t think adsense was so evil

Hi Jim,

Cool idea! If someone wanted to take it a step further and actually block ad views and even page views by using cookies and IP tracking they could get a script like AdSenseClickLock from http://www.AdsenseClickLock.com.

The script is very easy to install and can help prevent invalid clicks and potentially save an account from getting banned.

Thanks,

Don

That is a nice tip.. But what would be even better is if google would just ignore clicks generated by the adsense publisher.. And ignore clicks from obvious click bomb attacks.. Google is supposed to be a tech leader and they cannot do this? All they can do is ban adsense publishers for simple mistakes like accidentally clicking on their own ad. Give me a break..

[...] But wouldn’t be nice if you weren’t clickbombed in the first place? Thats where code such as this by Jim Westergren comes into handy. This code will limit multiple clicks by IP and shut down your click bomber before he gets a chance. The problem is that this can shut down legitimate clicks. Do you have code that you use to protect your Google Adsense account, feel free to share! [...]

Thanks Brian, that could be useful for more advanced uses.

Another use is to not serve ads to those coming from social network siteso to increase the vote percantage.

One of the biggest worries for webmasters if you get banned for something that was really unintentional. Thanks for the tip.
