		<description>Hi, interesting piece of code!

I&#039;m currently looking into ways to effectively prevent click-bombing, BEFORE I go into the AdSense venture!

I would like to limit showing Ad units, to let&#039;s say 1 click per IP per day, then use javascript to hide the Ads after first click, along with PHP to hide them for 1 day for that IP.

***I just have this concern since I have no experience with Adsense at all: What if a click-bomber copies a link in your Ads -which as far as I understand it contains all your referer info, etc- prior to actually clicking it, then paste and open this link subsequently and repeatedly in his browser address bar? Wouldn&#039;t this be just like clicking on your ads? So then it wouldn&#039;t matter whether you hid them or not!!***

I&#039;m willing to believe that Google uses some kind of unique-click hash code generator to prevent the aforementioned. But could someone confirm this to me, please? Much, much, much appreciated!

For obvious reasons, just in case they don&#039;t have this kind of unique click hash code, I don&#039;t want to post this question in Google forums. Although, that would be the place to ask, really.

Hope someone can illuminate me!

Regards,
oxi</description>

		<description>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.</description>

		<description>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</description>
