Why Repeated Clicks from One IP Address Are a Red Flag

Why Repeated Clicks from One IP Address Are a Red Flag

30.05.2025 2

In ad campaigns, it’s crucial to monitor multiple clicks from the same IP address. It could mean genuine interest—or clear click fraud.

Common indicators:

  • 5+ clicks within an hour;
  • sessions with no conversions or engagement;
  • repeated “open-close-exit” behavior;
  • night-time activity with no action;
  • IP not from your target region.

Why it matters:

  • Google may see it as valid traffic;
  • your campaign scales toward bots;
  • conversion rate drops, CPC increases;
  • analytics becomes unreliable.

What to do:

  1. Use AntiClick to track repeated clicks.
  2. Auto-block suspicious IPs.
  3. Apply frequency capping.
  4. Compare behavior across IP addresses.
  5. Filter out fraud before it hits your analytics.
