How To Prevent Adsense Invalid Clicks?

It is true in these days, many blogger got banned for heavy invalid activity in their Adsense account. Some of the innocent publishers too have been banned for invalid clicks. 

You may have also experience times whereas the number of clicks are much more than comparison of the estimated earnings, especially from some countries like US clicks are fluently and yet no money made. 

It has been also seen sometimes that CPC are good and clicks are coming in bulks (more than expectations), but those were also invalid clicks.

To understand this better, suppose one person click on your Ad, Google gave you $2.0 for that one click which means click : 1 and CPC : $2.0 then 9 clicks are also done by an other person which are invalid clicks and Google haven’t gave you anything for those clicks, now your stats will show click : 10 and CPC : $0.20 which also looks good and generally we think it’s Ok if CPC is good but as you in example it’s not always okay

If the CPC from such high developed countries lies somewhere between $0.01 - $0.04 which is too less, and these clicks you are getting on your adsense ads are not genuine for sure. As usually a visitor from US clicked on your ads, you should at least earn around $1 for good keywords.
