Blocking a specific IP Address to prevent click bombing

Asked By joshua dela pena 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/25/2011

I made a new website and I recently added  my Adsense account there. I just noticed a weird activity where in, my clicks are very high compared to its impression. I'm suspecting that someone is doing click bombing and wants my Adsense to be banned. I don't know how to play this game so I removed my Adsense in that site to prevent that click bomber from clicking multiple ads.

Are there any ways to block a specific IP address to prevent click bombing and the likes?
