This question have been asked many times in forums and to post this I thought it million of times. Because some evil webmasters can take this piece of information to try to “fool” the big G. But let me tell you something, don’t be fool yourself and don’t try anything funny to game Google system, they will catch you! and in no time they will send you an email saying “Gotcha!”. Anyways, I love to analyse how companies system works and Google is one of my favorites as they are so “secret” to their stuffs. Here are some points on how Google can know that you clicked your own ads:

Gmail: When you have an account in Gmail, Google will easy track what you are doing.

Any Google Tool: When you sign up with any Google API or Tool. Google will track what you are doing in the internet e.g. using the webmaster tool, they already know which sites you own and from their statistics data they know which sites you visit.

Google Search: When you search from Google, then you are under the radar of the big G.

System Tray: Google knows what are in your system tray (don’t ask me how)

Resolution Screen: Google knows what is your screen resolution

Your PC : Google knows how is your pc (from CPU, RAM,etc..)

Your IP: Google knows what is your IP. Ok, you may say my IP changes every second how Google knows that? Remember, that Google knows your screen resouliton, your pc, what sites you visit, they are worst than CIA or FBI

The way you enter your site: If you want to click an ad from your site, what you will do? Just add in your browser your URL and then click an AD. Let’s say you delete your cookies, change pc, change IP and everything and then you say “ha-ha I will full Google”. Then you click your AD. Then Google check and see that this computer is brand new! no cookies, no temporarly internet files and joined your site to click an AD. This is suspicious to Google and anyone!

There are many other ways that Google can catch you about cheating their system. You know Google makes billions of dollars from their advertisers and they are happy for it. So their main goal is to protect their advertisers before the publishers. They will not have mercy for you as publisher if you are a cheater. So take care and don’t be fool trying to fool the big “G”. If you see any click fraud attempt in your adsense account contact Google inmediatly read my previous post about Google Adsense Click Fraud Attempts? and Google adsense id has been hijacked.
