I have an app on both iOS and android platforms.
I use Ad Manager SDK for displaying ads. Everything is ok for android app. But there is something wrong for iOS app.
Google says "invalid traffic and click".
Interstitial ads' impressions and clicks are well. But banner type ads don't count clicks. They don't earn money.
I did everything what google documents say.
I tried the following methods:
I improved the viewability for ads. Every ad is requested on time.
I used Charles Session too. There is no duplicate or spam requests.
Then I created new adIDs. It works well just a couple of day. Then again same problem occurs.
Google says:
"Non-Human Traffic: Traffic or clicks generated via robots, spiders or crawlers are filtered by DFP
Automated ad clicking: The instances include: multiple clicks fired and clicks fired without user interactions are marked as malicious activity in the system"
in email.
They dont say anything else. My account is not blocked.
How can I avoid invalid traffic and bot clicks? Is there anything else I must do?
I use:
pod 'GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK'
pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK'
for ads.

I am new to AdMob. recently 4 months ago I placed some ads on my 2 apps by using Admob but unfortunately, I got a message about the serving limits of ads that were placed by AdMob to my AdMob account 2 times this happen. I want to know how to prevent these limits is there any code that after 2 continuous clicks from the same user ads will disappear for some time for that particular user. so that it will be helpful to prevent the serving limits?
Hey the problem is source of traffic. Check your Analytics. Google AdMob works well with Organic traffic. Amy traffic apart from that can create a problem.
Ad serving limits: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/9493252
But I Want to Know How We Prevent that like is there any code which helps me to prevent this type of problem...
for eg. if someone clicks on my ads intentionally then after two clicks on my ads in a day it automatically disables those ads for that particular user.
I want to build an app similar to taskbucks which shows list of tasks that user alongwith coins users gets for performing that task. On server side I am using codeigniter and client I can use ionic and native android. I tried a lot googling but unable to find answer to my following queries:
How do I get list of ads only relating to installing apps or some tangible actions instead of just clicking banner or interstitial ads.
I will have incentivized traffic so need to show users how many coins they get when perform this task.
Can I get information on my server of what actions have been performed by which user and how much money I have earned for this action and how many coins has been awarded to user.
Can I integrate with multiple ad networks at the same time for same app.
I have gone through number of ad networks but tried in detail with Tapjoy and inmobi only.
I am new to admob ads for android and I know that the way it works if that you get revenue for every click. But I want to know what happens if a developers adds code that auto clicks an ad once in a while, in a production app? Something like mAdView.performClick(). Is that allowed and what happens if you do it?
Thanks
It will violate the AdMob policy:"Publishers may not click their own ads or use any means to inflate impressions and/or clicks artificially, including manual methods. Testing your own ads by clicking on them is not allowed."

You account may be banned forever if they detect you do so.
1.On my new app (did not upload to play store yet) I see ads at the starting and then disappears all the ads. How can I figure out the problem?
2. In my existing app in play store adds doesn't work at night, mostly 11pm to morning. What can I do?
Both apps are on the same adsense account.
Look at your log. It will show ad request and response.
It sounds like there may be no ads available in your area. The logs will show that.
A way of mitigating is to use mediation so if no ad is available if asks the next ad network for an ad.
With our advertising programs, we strive to create an online ecosystem that benefits publishers, advertisers and users. For this reason, we sometimes have to take action against accounts that demonstrate behavior toward users or advertisers that may negatively impact how the ecosystem is perceived. In your case, we have detected invalid activity in your AdSense account and it has been disabled.
well yesterday google closed my admob account. and they send me this mail.
To preventint closing Admob account, Should I add this code:
AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR) // All emulators
.addTestDevice("AC98C820A50B4AD8A2106EDE96FB87D4") // My Galaxy Nexus test phone
.build();
Also I am not clicking my admob. But I want to prevent Admob close. How should make strong (not closing)Admob?
Since your account was closed for "invalid activity", the code you present may be one possible solution, but it comes down to the more exact (not disclosed by AdMob in this case) reasoning behind it. The code you present will only remove invalid activity from your own personal device, if you have previously clicked or viewed ads on it yourself.
I encourage reading "How Google prevents invalid activity" and "AdSense program policies". Key points to evaluate against how you've acted with your account are:
Publishers may not click their own ads or use any means to inflate impressions and/or clicks artificially, including manual methods. Clicks on Google ads must result from genuine user interest. Any method that artificially generates clicks or impressions on your Google ads is strictly prohibited. These prohibited methods include, but are not limited to, repeated manual clicks or impressions, automated click and impression generating tools and the use of robots or deceptive software. Please note that clicking your own ads for any reason is prohibited.
Publishers may not ask others to click their ads or use deceptive implementation methods to obtain clicks. This includes, but is not limited to, offering compensation to users for viewing ads or performing searches, promising to raise money for third parties for such behavior or placing images next to individual ads.
In short, don't view, click or promote ads yourself. Only let your real users view and click ads out of their own free will.
