What is the purpose of setting up clixis for a maximum of one click per person?

Short Answer: Setting up clixis to allow a maximum of one click per person is designed to protect your ads from being repeatedly clicked by competitors. Once a person clicks your ad one time, their IP is blacklisted, preventing them from clicking again.

Full Explanation

Limiting clixis to one click per person helps ensure that your advertising budget is spent efficiently. By blocking multiple clicks from the same individual, you prevent competitors from intentionally inflating your click counts, which could otherwise waste your resources. The setup automatically tracks the IP addresses of clickers and adds them to a blacklist after their first click. This process blocks any further clicks from those IPs, securing your ads from repetitive and fraudulent clicking behavior.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

  1. Set Clixis Limit: Configure clixis so each person can only click once.
  2. Track IP Address: When a user clicks your ad, their IP address is recorded.
  3. Blacklist IP: That IP is then added to a blacklist, preventing further clicks from the same source.
  4. Prevent Repeated Clicks: This ensures competitors cannot click multiple times to drain your ad budget.

Real Examples

If a competitor tries to click your ad repeatedly to exhaust your budget or manipulate your ad performance, the system catches the repeated clicks after the first one. Their IP is blacklisted, so they cannot click again. This keeps your ad clicks genuine and meaningful.

Common Mistakes

  • Not enabling IP tracking or blacklisting, which leaves your ads vulnerable to repetitive clicks.
  • Setting no limit or too high a limit on clicks per person, reducing protection.
  • Assuming one-time clicks are not significant, when in fact repeated clicks can greatly impact ad costs.

Why is limiting clicks important?
To prevent competitors from repeatedly clicking your ads, which can waste your budget and skew performance data.
