At FreeKii we employ the strictest anti-click fraud metrics and our advertisers have never complained. Could be too that most of our keyword bids are less than $0.10/click making it less attractive for those click fraudsters.

You have to constantly monitor, log and prove to Google. I hope Google improves their engine on determining which is which.

My business sees a lot of click fraud so I had to stop using Adwords and just focused on SEO results. My main keyword was costing me $2 dollars a click just to be on the firs page but I did find a way to tell if I had click fraud. I couldn't really see who it was but I do have a way. If you use Google Analytics then you can set your range for today and not yesterday. By default they won't show you today unless you click it. It's by default the last 24 hours but if you look at today you can see your visitors minus a few hours delay. If you run the adwords campaign then you can see the visits and the length of stay and the bounce rate for those visitors. It's a bit tricky but you can tell. I assume that if I have 10 clicks on that day and then I can see those bounce rates climb. If i have 10 clicks and 100% then I know all those clicks were fraud. Who clicks a PPC listing and then jumps off after only a second? I would suspect about 90% of them do and they are fraudulent clicks in my eyes.

Why is anyone going to click fraud a $.25 click when they can do the same for $5 or even $1 PPCs. Google PPC and Adsense is a rip off for all but the .25 PPC advertizer. Even when you can prove that your clicks are fraud - Google customer service is ZERO!! If you are in a very competitive high value keyword PPC segment – the click fraud is 90% or better.
