I have a constant fear that some of my known people might keep clicking on my site to get me banned.

One of my friend had this problem, when one of his stupid friend clicked on his ads just to fool around and see what happens.

Other day I was searching some thing in google. When I clicked on one of the search result it showed me that, My IP or my country is not allowed to view this website becasue they dont do business in my country.

I also want to do the same and block the whole of my country/area viewing my website, becasue as such I hardly have any visitors from my country and I dont mind loosing some money by blocking my own country. I would rather like the peace of mind rather then that constant fear.

By the way I am doing very good in Adsense and I dont want to loose that due to any stupid friend clicking my ads.

Questions
1. Is there any script which I can use to block some country or some IP range
2. Can it done wth HTACESS?

Any other way?

Thanks in advance

make it a practice to login adsense account frm your home PC only. and from certain network only. Simply because, its too simple to tracking by IP, and if clicks come from same IP as publisher.... red alarm is ON.

surely that would block the entire site, if you detect the ip address with php (or whatever language you are using) you wrap that code around the adsence code and tell it not to display for certain IP's, something like this

<?PHP

$ipaddress = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];

Echo "Your IP is $ipaddress!";

?>
