Clicking on My Adsense Ads for the Past 2 Years But Something Strange is Happening Now

Hi Friends,

I am self clicking on my Adsense Ads for the past two years, I have a website where I am getting around 60,000 pageviews per month but I haven't been able to earn even $100 in one month for those pageviews (target niche location is India).

Then I decided to try self-clicking on my Adsense ads. The method I used:

1. Purchased HMA VPN.
2. Each time I Change the Country Location to USA, UK and other developed countries
3. Search the keywords in Google for which my website is already ranking on SERP position 1-5
4. After Clicking my website from Google search I lands up on the particular url
5. I wait for some time, scroll a bit and then open another page, and then click on the Adsense Ad
6. Then I wait for 15-30 seconds (sometimes 1-2 minutes) on the advertiser page, scroll a bit, and click here and there on the page to make it legit. Then I close it and repeat the steps 3-4 times.

My Clicks are in the range of 3-5 clicks with different locations and keywords.

By Applying the above method I was making an average of $350 - $450 per month for straight two years.

Now things have changed drastically in the past six months. I am applying the same method but the earnings are reduced to $60 - $80/month. I even increased the clicks but nothing is happening.

I have analysed that low quality ads are showing up on the website each time I lands up on them using the above methods. Same type of ads are showing up in all the locations. This wasn't happening before.

Now my question is does Google now knows that I am clicking on my own ads and now it is filtering out the clicks that results in low adsense earnings. Why Google haven't blocked my Adsense account yet. ?

I'm surprised Google has still not yet ban you for this fraud. Google is not hurt by this fraud but rather small businesses advertising on Google are.

Instead of committing fraud and looking for ways to improve your fraudulent ways, look for ways to attract traffic from countries with high CPC.

you've been making money for 2 years by cheating the most (supposedly) strict click fraud system in the world??? Don't take this the wrong way, but you're one luck dude...

I have been banned after just 2 months of doing the same, and you got away with it for 2 years and your main concern is the low earnings? If you don't understand the irony and cheekiness of what you're asking I'm dumbfounded...

Anyway, I don't think you'll have your Adsense account for much longer after posting this... and I really don't understand how you got away with it for 2 years...

they don't know yet, or they would have kicked you out long ago. You're such a lucky person! You can afford buying a lottery ticket every week from now on, I'm pretty sure you'll win and you'll not have to worry about Adsense for the rest of your life when you hit those numbers

that's what I'd like to know, too. If you ever figure it out let me know because I want to go back into Adsense now...

Try Medaivines, Adthrive, Taboola, Revcontents, Media.net

They'll probably increase your revenue.

I know I did fraud but I didn't have any options at that time and it just went on and on...

As more advertisers opt for automated bidding, clicks that are less likely to convert are worth a lot less. Not to mention that many advertisers have probably excluded your site from their campaigns.

You're lucky you're not banned.

I totally understand what you are saying but my whole point is finding out what actually happened that earnings reduced to such an extent। I wouldn't be so surprised if my account had been banned.

What will happen that my account will be banned now ?

LOL, I know I am not that lucky..it just happened by chance...

I am trying hard but couldn't able to figure out. Don't go back to Adsense the way I did, it's better to do it in a legitimate manner. I just took a chance and luckily it kicked off and I think it's not a sustainable way to earn like this..

Lottery winners aren't lucky either I suppose. They just win by chance.

I don't know as I've never delved deep into your analytics and I don't know your site.

But if I were to guess I would say that the high paying advertisers have noticed that no conversions come from the IP(s) you're using so they've blocked those IPs in their Adwords account, and now only advertisers that pay less choose to display ads on your site... until those advertisers, too, figure out that something's fishy with your IPs and they will block you, too.

That's just one reason I can think of, but there could be more...

what do you mean by "what will happen"? You're going to continue living your life, of course. It's just that the cash cow will have gone and you'll have to work for your money like everyone else...

luck = chance. You ARE lucky, and I really meant it when I said that you should play the lottery. Make it a habit to set aside the price of a soda (or whatever a lottery ticket is worth in your area) each week and buy that ticket until you win. I've not seen anyone being lucky for such an extended period of time, so it's worth giving up 1 soda a week for the chance to become a millionaire

I'm surprise you got away with this fraud for 2 years. You were able to beat the big G for 2 years.

That's one of the things people here will think it's impossible

You should get banned by now from Adsense by doing this bullshit. Just be happy you're not.

You sending clicks fraud And your are surprised that your earnings is low.

Now, you have an option. You've made $350+ for 24 months. That's a sizable amount for someone in India to have a change of career or plans, but here you are asking how you could further improve on your fraudulent ways.

I mean, you've gotten this far. Might as well automate and scale it to the moon before the hammer comes down...

You're basically stealing from Google and other advertisers,
Hopefully you'll be banned soon,
Get a better business and earn worthy money instead

No, I am not asking on improving the earnings. I am just after the reasons what went wrong. I am just curious to know...

are you using phone or pc??
