How to Detect Repeated Clicks from the Same Device

How to Detect Repeated Clicks from the Same Device

13.06.2025 2

Repeated clicks from a single device is a common tactic used in click fraud—whether by bots, farms, or even manual competitors.

How to detect it:

  • same user-agent and screen resolution;
  • multiple clicks in a short time (5+ in 30 min);
  • no site interaction;
  • consistent IP or geolocation;
  • patterned behavior: open → bounce.

Why it matters:

  • ad performance looks inflated, but it’s fake;
  • Google Ads algorithms optimize toward bots;
  • you lose budget with zero ROI.

How AntiClick helps:

  1. Log user-agent, device screen, and IP.
  2. Track number of clicks per device.
  3. Auto-block after 3+ suspicious clicks.
  4. Monitor repetition frequency and patterns.
