Google is collaborating with Click Forensics to clamp down on search ad click fraud.
Click Forensic's FACTr (Fully Automated Click Tracking Reconciliation) service generates click-quality reports and submits them automatically to Google — so advertisers won't have to do it manually, ComputerWorld reported.
"Click fraud" refers to when pay-per-click ads are repeatedly engaged by users or bots with the intention of driving the advertiser's ad spend upward. For example, rival companies might click on a company's ads to drive up their ad spend — or, if the latter is on a budget, make the ads less likely to run for qualified customers. Sometimes publishers will click on their own sites' ads, or encourage other users to do so, just to drive commissions up.
These practices are generally easy to catch, however, if the webmaster keeps IP records. And Google automatically keeps track of duplicate or derivative IPs, ignoring or flagging them if unusual activity occurs. But whether or not clicks are legitimate, Google is likely to make a profit, which makes it hard for skeptics to believe the search giant goes out of its way to curb click fraud.

If you are spending money adveriting in adwords or other platforms you need an advanced traffic toll beyond what google analytic offers, u need something that tracks IP address, I use get clicky, and then manually will ban IP address is adwords for people who are repeat spenders, its a lot of work, but dont count on google to do this for you, even when u submit click fraud reports they often dont get u the refund back you probably deserve.
