Hello, I’m concerned over fraudulent activity affecting my adsense earnings (as in too much).
Does $56 for a mere 30 clicks sound reasonable?
My Impression RPM jumped up to $8 today and yesterday. It's usually been betw. $1.30 and $2.60
CPC Bids for today are at $57 and above.
Honestly, not that I’ve ever glanced at these sorts of numbers prior to this week and not that I entirely understand it all.
Was happy knowing that Google was fine with my site and that fraudulent activity had stayed at and around a couple percent or lower.
My worries stem from having spent well over a year dealing with this sort of thing wherein fraudulent clicks were reaching as much 90+%. I took care of that by blocking IP blocks I suspected and making use of bad bot plugins (wordpress site).
Things have been great since the beginning of this year. But now, here I am in August concerned over what I’ve seen this past week.
Stinks that one has to wait until the end of every month to see how much invalid traffic one’s gotten.
Final note: Had installed a new theme just prior to the beginning of this. Don’t know if that means that my old theme was keeping my earnings down or that this new theme is screwing things up somehow.
Would appreciate any enlightenment / direction.
Thanks!
