How to Setup Invalid Click Protection for your Ads Effectively

Here we will setup Invalid Click Protection on our website using Ads Protection by AriseAds. The process is very easy and straight foreword!

Let Started!

How to Activate Ads Protection Module

On your Admin Menu, hover on Arise Ads menu, and Click on Modules.

Next, Click the Activate button under the Ads Protection module.

Setting Up Protection

AriseAds Invalid Clicks Protection is very easy to set up. Follow these simple steps to protect your ads from invalid clicks:

1. Navigate to the AriseAds settings page in your WordPress admin panel.
2. Click on the “Ads Protection” tab.

Ad Classes

To enable Invalid Click Protection, you need to tell AriseAds which elements on your page are advertisements. You do this by specifying the CSS classes that wrap your ad code.

1. Find the “Ad Classes” field.
2. Enter the classes of the ads you want to protect, without the dot (.).
3. Separate multiple classes with commas.

By default, AriseAds protects elements with the classes ariseads-protect and adsbygoogle. Therefore, you can skip this step if you are using Google AdSense ads on your website as it’s already covered by default.

It’s that simple.

Allowed Clicks

Set the maximum number of ad clicks allowed per visitor:

1. Find the “Allowed Clicks” field.
2. Enter a number (e.g., 3).

This limits how many times a single visitor can click on protected ads within a specified time window.

Click Time Window

Define the time period during which clicks are counted:

1. Locate the “Click Time Window” field.
2. Enter the number of hours (e.g., 24 for 1 day).

If a visitor exceeds the allowed clicks within this time window, they will be blocked.

Block Duration

Specify how long a visitor should be blocked if they exceed the click limit:

1. Find the “Block Duration” field.
2. Enter the number of days (e.g., 1 for 24 hours).

During this period, blocked visitors won’t see your protected ads.

Save Settings

After configuring your preferences, click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page.

Monitoring Blocked IPs

To view and manage blocked IP addresses:

1. Click on the “Ban Reports” button at the top of the Ads Protection settings page.
2. This will show you a list of all blocked IPs, including their location, click count, and ban/unban times.
3. You can manually unban IPs from this page if needed.

By following these steps, you’ll have successfully set up Invalid Click Protection for your ads, helping to prevent fraud and protect your ad revenue.
