In the midst of COVID-19, we are sad to see such activity. We presume that this person (competitor) really hates us or a low educated person. We understand all businesses have their competition, but this is really unacceptable.
Luckily we have a smart tracker from ClickCease, that tracks this person using an M1, android phone user with the IPv6 connection 2401:7400:6005:d2b7:1:1:f017:50f0 hitting our google ads hard with 5 seconds page load, not just 1 time but 3 times at the same keyword. (Next time, we&'ll explain more on how to know if your competitor did this, please subscribe to our SI Insights on the left panel).
These might be the reason why:
- he/she might want to dry up our ad spending limits
- he/she might have an ads queue with a lower cost after ours
- he/she might want to push up our cost per click
Here's what ClickCease will notify if you when your competitors trigger your ads. Not even Google wants to tell you about this because every click is a profit to them. Even you have evidence on these clicks, it is tough to claim back because only those Googles feels and think it is a fraud are claimable because they told us they don't work with 3rd parties (we've tried), nor they are willing to believe what we show them.
ClickCease is a great tool for fraud clicks because you get to see details like IPv4, IPv6 & also know if this connection uses VPN.
The Click Time, Device ID, Operating System. Browser and Ad clicked will be shown for further action.
What he/she didn't know:
- we are using ClickCease, so we know who this person with his IPv6 address & Device ID
- with so many clicks and short time spend, Google is also watching him or her (it is an android with a google id connection)
- we might get a refund for fraud by clicking from Google
- we have put the person on the watchlist also may be on the fraud clicking blacklist.
- our ads will not appear on his search again for extra click. (our advertising budget of $$ will not spend on this person again)
This ad is not to scare anyone or whine because of this person. We want to let you guys know that it's a difficult time for all businesses, and we need to equip ourselves with such tools and services to protect your assets.
