They can tell if its the same person clicking on the ads. Unless you fly around the world. Yeh right

I don't understand what you meant by your post. I realize they can tell the difference in IPs & IP location, but if someone is clicking ads repeatedly, it seems they would see that as click fraud & look into it. I'm not saying if I went to my website & clicked it repeatedly, I'm saying if someone else goes to my website & clicks them repeatedly & repeatedly. Now Google would not be able to tell if that was me at another location, I told someone I know to click them like that, or someone trying to be an a$$ & get me banned from Google AdSense.

good and useful info for us. This is huge amount. that is why some Adwords user clam that they are getting the targeted traffic. I hope that google will overcome it as soon as possible.

How can google lose?

They charge the advertiser per click, and pay the publisher a percentage of the price they charge.

Click fraud means more money for google not less.

They Dont Lose... They Just Dont Get Whats Rightfully Not Theirs...!!

With their business model, click fraud are inevitable.
However, as someone already pointed out, they are still making tons of money. This is something that they are going to learn to live with.

i don't think they loose so many, whats with website that get account banned, many of them get banned after they earn 100 dollars, i know they probably cheated some clicks but some of them was real.
whats with that?
Question is how many clicks they dont pay to publisher?i bet its 2 billions, so 1 billion lose is small, hehe

It isn't a loose. It's an investment.

And besides, comparing how much they earn, I assume this is pretty much nothing. (the loss)

eprosumer · 04-16-2007, 10:56 AM

They still made about $20 billion!
