[How] can i identify Ads Accidental Clicks on my Website?

[ggvbro]

Hello everyone, Thanks for reading my Thread.

I monetize my website with Adsense, and i want to know if there is a way to identify Ads Accidental Clicks on my website.

I usually split my articles into 10 to 13 pages, when i check Google Analytics behavior flow, i see most of Ads clicks on the first page, and i don't know if they are valid or accidental clicks

can someone help me identify Ads Accidental Clicks with google analytics or adsense reports or whatever tools that make it possible. Thanks

I don't know much about "accidental clicks" but I know a lot about fake traffic and bounce rates.
When you read that article that uncutu posted keep in mind it's the former that google is mostly concerned with.
I can't remember the last time I accidentally clicked an ad.
What it comes down to (imho) is that an accidental click is the same thing as a cold buyer who clicks ad and immediately changes his mind.
Are you trying to dog whistle a request to get someone to help you with your traffic forgery problems? Cause this is black hat world bruh, I think u can find that in the marketplace.
Also, from what I hear... That particular cat and mouse game is only a good idea if you're a mutant ninja mouse. Google a beast of a cat and, to abuse a metaphor, that's a well guarded piece of cheese.

If you're earnestly asking about accidental clicks, I'd advise you throw spin up some kind of heat mapping solution.
If that's above your technical level of comfort, send me a DM. Happy to give you some pointers.

Definitely look at the bounce rate, as someone else suggested. I would say anything less than several seconds is most likely accidental however other factors cause bounces as well . Such as slow load time, low quality UX, etc.

What makes you think the bounce is due more to accidental clicks and not the other factors?

just curious to see how best to assist in identifying your goals

That is hard to tell because a click will record just as a click without any special description. But it would say, you can look at the behaviour of your users, for example, bounce rate and the time on the page. If they are only clicking on page 1, it is time to lose those 12 pages and have all your content on page one. People are lazy; we don’t want to click 13 times to finish reading your lengthy article!
