Suspicious Adsense Activity?

Marketing
1

I was just browsing some stats on a wordpress plugin i have called “daily stat”… which shows me stat info for just my wordpress site… i have only had it for 5 or 6 days now, but i just saw this in traffic stats… whats puzzling is the parts saying “Arrived From” then have what looks to be an adsense code in the middle of all the junk… the code appears to be my adsense pub ID #… (which i have altered in code below along with the site URL and IP address…)…

Also, the IP address thats tied to this activity belongs to member of my SMF forum on the same domain… Does this look suspicious?. unsure what to do here. should i contact adsense?

What it looks like with the ARRIVED FROM part, is that they came from my forum, to the main page via an adsense link… which is impossible since i am not using adwords at all … any ideas? should i be worried? hope someone can help me out! code is below!

so basically my stats say i got 3 referrals hits from my adsense code from my forom… seems odd to me

Maybe he clicked on your ad and then hit the back button?

I did think of that… never seen that happen before though… but my stats along with the clicks, seemed legit yesterday… so maybe its nothing to be alarmed about…

thx for replying

For sure it’s nothing to be alarmed about. If you didn’t have this plugin “daily stats” you’d not have known about it just like 99.99% adsense publishers who do just as fine…

some time he can success kill you account by continue clicking the ads

Especially be careful if you are receiving many clicks that you feel are not valid. I don’t think 3 clicks would be a problem Unless this is happening repeatedly. I had a problem last month where I received Nearly 1000 dollars in clicks from a suspicious source. I reported this to google and they adjusted my balance. They did not reply to my report but I think everything is okay now.

Good idea, but how long do they allow us to report? some time we left the account 1 week without logging in
