Prevent Getting Click Bombed.
Getting click bombed sucks. I can say this because I’ve been through it. I once signed up for Adsense, about 2 months ago, and the second day that I had implemented Adsense on my site, I had 84 clicks, and the clicks made me an amazing amount of 5 cents. The next day I only got 2 clicks which made me 45 cents, which in truth is not that bad.

What is a “Click Bomb”?
Click bombed, is when your ad gets clicked many times by a bot, or by the same person to damage your Ad earnings. Usually, the Ad publisher will notice an increased rate of clicks, and most of the times it will be too late because the Owner of the Ads (Adsense, YPN, Bidvertiser )will have already suspended your account until you can prove that you got Click bombed, most of the times you won’t be able to reclaim your account, and you’ll be blamed for fraud.

How to prevent getting click bombed?
As you can see, when you get click bombed it can be very dangerous for your Ad publisher account. Now there are ways to prevent getting click bombed, but they are not proven methods, they are just tips that I’ve gotten from random webmasters.
Here are some of the tips.

• Don’t make enemies. Usually, the people that click bomb you are people from your own niche. If you want to prevent this then just don’t piss anyone off.
• Check your raw logs. Check the ip addresses of everyone that goes to your site, view who is accessing your site more often and what pages they are viewing. By doing this you prevent getting bombed, and you learn what pages of your site your visitors are going to.
• Add a tracking code to your ads. Usually most Publishers allow you to do this, I’m sure Adsense and YPN allow you to do this.
• If you have an apache account with your host, then check your Awstats Account, you can see a lot of information on your users like their IPs, Their operating system, and their browser.
• Check your CTR percentage, (Click Through Rate). If it suddenly goes up by a large amount then you need to start worrying as you might have gotten click bombed. Report this to your Ad publisher immediately.

Conclusion
When you get Click bombed, there is not much you can do, other than report to your Ad publisher and hope for the best. Hopefully, they will trust you and allow you to keep your account.

I’m not sure how you can report fraud on each Ad publisher since there are so many, but if you are ever click bombed, just look for a contact form and mail them ASAP, give them as many reports as you can that will help you in your case.

Show them the IP addresses of the people on your site, and check who clicked on your ads the most, if possible block their IP address until your Ad publisher has been notified.

I’m sure if you follow those tips you will prevent getting click bombed, and you can end up preventing your account from being suspended for this reason, good luck selling Ads.

Intrade, the new way to Invest.
Intrade, is a great company. And when I say great, I mean GREAT company! I just saw their website on the news and I am completely amazed.

Intrade allows you to invest on People’s opinions! According to how well an opinion stands (person winning presidency, boycotts in china, etc) Currently, they allow you to invest on the people that are running to be president for the United States of America, and previously they allowed you to vote for the runners of American Idol.

The Current Markets that you can buy from Intrade are, “2008 US Election - 2008 Presidential Election Winner (Individual), Olympic Games - Boycott of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, 2008 US Election - 2008 Democratic Presidential Nominee, Eliot Spitzer - Eliot Spitzer to be Indicted on Felony Charges, Economic Numbers - US Economy in Recession“.

The website is like investing on the wall street shares. If a certain candidate or a certain opinion wins popularity, then their stock price will go up and when the price goes up you can sell your stocks and make a lot of profit.

When candidate McCain was running up for President, and he lost votes, people thought he was gonna give up and quit, and then all of a sudden he started getting votes and now his stock is way up. Hillary Clinton’s stock is currently going down, and Obama’s stock is staying steady.

Apparently the website is managed from Ireland, because in The US this type of gambling is not allowed, if the owner of the website were to go to the United States, he could face serious charges and end up going to prison.

Intrade is a great way to earn money online. I would start investing there but since the US does not permit it, then I guess there is no chance of me participating in this, but if you live outside of the US then I really suggest you try this.

Here is a video where the Intrade CEO talks to NBC.
