    Preventing Invalid clicks

    Hi, is there anyway to prevent invalid clicks?
    (Google AdSense, been banned twice already for that reason, though I haven't seen an increase/decrease in no of clicks in the reporting manager) I only had 10-20 over than span of one month and our staff have it written in their contract not to click on them? No of impressions were of and CTR was very low.

    I use template conditionals to hide the ads for staff.

    Would you use:

    PHP Code:
    <?php 
    if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == '6' 
        { 
        echo 
    "This is only visible to people in usergroup 6";} 
        
    ?>

    No, that's for PHP. Just use a simple template conditional.

    If you only want the ads to show up for usergroup id's less than or equal to 4, for example:

    <if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] <= 4">

    ad code here

    </if>
