I am thinking is it possible for someone to sabotage me by keeping clicking on my ads so that Google bans me? How does Google prevent that?

Any idea?

i think you mean sabotage and that is NOT going to happen

Why not?

Ok Yes, your account may get terminated for that reason. If you notice
it happening, you can let them know.
However, the best solution is not to make any enemies, then nobody
will want to disable your account
Do you have any enemies?

If you know this is happening and know the ip address then the other thing to do is ban it from yr site i suppose depends if there usin a proxy tho

Unless you click on your own ads Google is smart enough to stop it on your own but if you see suspicious activity you can block the ips

I had around 197 click in some minutes and Google reported the same to me and no ban of any kind because it was not me who clicked on those ads.

How to check IP addresses which reach your website?

I beg to differ with you. It does happen and it did happen to me. I ticked off some people in a general chat section at another well know forum and they click-bombed my site. I was banned because of it.

I requested a review and stated the facts of the case. I was one of the lucky ones as I was re-instated.

Best advice is do not link to your sites in any forum or post where you might piss the JD's off. I do not feel that the members off this forum are the same type of person. Here we can disagree and still be friends.

yeah, I faced the same problem once. Someone sold me "high quailty" traffic that was sure to make me loads of cash of my google adsense. And I did. Then I was banned cause the guy that sold me the traffic must have had some kinda of bot. Or click bombed my site. Live and learn.

Oh no! That is very dangerous. I know some bad webmasters are doing that but you are lucky that Google let you in for second time.

How can google make sure this won't happen?

Thanks for your reply. I was also thinking of this problem. I got my answer.
