How Google Adsense Detect Clicks by Codes

How Google Adsense Detect Clicks by Codes

After several months being a Google's Publisher from Google AdSense, now I want to write something about Google AdSense. Do you realized recently Google AdSense has new trick to identify valid click and store these clicks information with some code? So, every click has different ID and it store in google database. Base on these database, Google AdSense Team will examine every single data to make sure where's counted as valid click or fraud.

Recently, end of February I guess (I'm not really sure since when), Google detect click ID with some code that we can see... these the sample :

http://********.com/products.aspx?cat=599&maxprice=9999&gclid=COHl0eqZrJkCFYMwpAodZBAdIw

Look, we can see that Google Adsense add some code to detect these click with same pattern : &gclid=" some code "
It always same code..begin with " &gclid= "


With my experiment, google will count click if visitor explore more deep about click, and these will indicated by &gclid= code disappear.


So, if I a visitor and click a Google Adsense ads, as normally I'll go to the Advertiser Site. At the first, google code will detect click ID with &gclid= code. After I click link in from that first page (home), ex : click contact or..click some product, then &gclid= will disappear. These click will counted by google.
But, If I don't click a link (to show how interest I'm), then that click will not counted!

Even your visitor click has been counted in your Earn Report, it still not a guarantee Google AdSense will pay you. They will examine again before the payment date. They need to sure that your visitor click is a valid click..(ex :come from a Search Engine, browse your page, then click google adsense ads). If they detect that click was a fraud, then they will not pay you.. The money will return back to the advertiser. Google doing these analysis steps by accessing their database base on "&gclid=" code.


This is an example uncounted click :

see? I think google will detect this click are fraud because it came from a publisher click..
The indication code are : &client=ca-pub-***************

So, if your visitor just click your google ads and not explore more deep to the advertiser site, google will not counted that click!
This is equitable for the advertiser, so their money spent to google adword will not futile.

As commented that you may find below this post, klivengood told me new information :

...I was kicked out from google ads but i never clicked my own ads...they said that my visitors who clicked my ads were the same place and it said, i also clicked ads who asked me to click their ads...

So keep in our mind :

Be aware of all words offering (you may find examples : ) your visitor to click your Google Adsense.

Well, that's my experience..maybe you could "ameliorate" or verify... don't forget to put your comment below.
Thank you..

Jakarta Real Time Traffic Monitor base on CCTV

Jakarta Real Time Traffic Monitor base on CCTV

Do you know Jakarta has Real Time Traffic Monitor?
Since Jakarta citizens need more real time traffic information, some media trying to provide more up to date traffic information. Not only television like Metro TV news and TV one or other news channel, but also radio have special channel to report traffic information such as Elshinta Radio at early work day in the morning and in the afternoon. People need to know where the best roads to choose in order to avoid traffic jam or to find the ways for bypass. As you know, now day Jakarta has traffic jam for almost roads due to significant vehicle growth during last decade.

Especially for now day, Indonesia will have 2009 People Election for House of Representatives in April 9, 2009 and Presidential And Vice Presidential Elections in July (first round) and September (final round). You don't want to stuck in campaign traffic jams, don't you?

Realized their real time traffic information are very critical for Jakarta citizens, then local governance of Jakarta decide to provide a real time traffic monitor through CCTV at most of intersections, business areas, and trade centers.






People can access this information through internet connections (by internet supported phone, mobile internet connection supported laptop, and PC in their office or other spot that has internet connection/hotspot).

Unfortunately, some citizens still didn't know to access this information through internet. So, in this blog I'll provide information needed to access them. You may access real time traffic monitor through CCTV below of this post.

Before you go to that access, I will explain how to use them :
First, you should have a flash player (such as adobe flash player 9) support in your browser. If you are using Microsoft Windows Vista or Microsoft Windows XP service pack 2, than your browser are ready to use to streamming real time traffic. But, if you using Windows Mobile 5 or 6 or other PC Operating System, then you need to download the flash player support first. You may search here :

After you have flash player support, ther you can streamming real time traffic monitor. This is the steps :
1. After go to the website, you will find like this :

2. First you should choose the district, the options are : Jakarta Timur (east Jakarta), Jakarta Pusat (central Jakarta), Jakarta Selatan (South Jakarta), Jakarta Barat (west Jakarta), and Jakarta Utara (North Jakarta).

3. After choosing the district, now you can choose what CCTV point you want to view. Remember, not maybe not all CCTV is on when you want to view. CCTV status indicated at the end of every CCTV point, identificated by (ON) or (OFF).

4. After choose the CCTV point, there's two method how you want to view the CCTV. They are STILL (for manual refresh) and AUTO REFRESH. If you choose auto refresh, the CCTV will auto refresh every 30 seconds.

Goodbye Geo Counter

I'm no longer using Geo Counter (geocompteur) widget


From today, I'm no longer using Geo Counter (geocompteur) widget from www.widgeo.net with their third site map on www.compteur.cc. I love the widget view, but main reason I terminated using their service is they put advertises running by hidden script. It's annoying much...specially for my advertise on my own blog.

So, I CAN'T HARDLY WAIT TO DUMP www.widgeo.net from my blog.

At the first time, I'm so impressed by their widget skin..so attractive. And I realized they have policies that they will puts some ads in my blog. But, never know how often their pop up ads every time I and my friends or visitor load my blog. Until I count that their ads pop up in 2-3 ads windows for every single blog loading. Sometime their ads also appear inline of any word and crash my inline ads from adbrite or kontera which truly give me cash . I'm sure some of you still remember how disappointed when come to my blog in the past. I'm so sorry for that.

As you can read from www.widgeo.net, they have policies :

And, not like other similar service, I can't see my traffic detail when I click that widget. So, it less useful for me. They only show traffic report on the widget in my blog. This traffic only for a single day and total visitor information. So, I can't get my yesterday traffic information by this service. This is the widget look in my blog a minutes before I dump it (March 18, 2009 GMT+7) :


Anyway still I want to thank you for your services until this day. Goodbye www.widgeo.net !! Now, as you see I had replace it with other counter service which I'll discuss in my next post : Online Traffic Counter and Statistic Service Provider
