Adsense Question

Yea, how does google deal with fraud like that?
What if someone is using IP spoofing?

I spend quite a bit on AdWords for my ecommerce sites and been wondering about that.

I sent a email to google alerting them of the abuse. I've only received a standard "we got your message" reply. I will post their reply when I get it....if I get it!

They must have been watching....big brother google that is....here's their reply:

Hello Patrick,

Thank you for your email. I understand your concern that your ads have received invalid clicks. If you believe that your account reports reflect clicks that are more extreme than ordinary user behavior or that exhibit strange patterns, please contact your Client Service Representative or
email us at adwords-support@google.com. Please be sure to include the following information to significantly expedite the investigation process:

1) The keyword(s) associated with invalid clicks.
2) The related URL(s) of ad(s) receiving invalid clicks.
3) Suspicious IP address(es) (this information may be found via web logs).
4) The date(s) and time (s) of each invalid click activity.
5) A paragraph describing the trends in logs and/or reports that led you
to believe the click activity is fraudulent.

The verification and research process is very time consuming, and we greatly appreciate your patience while our click investigation team reviews your account. Please allow at least 3-4 weeks for them to respond.

If you have any other additional information, please be sure to let us know so that we can include this in our review.
