Hi everyone.

I always had question, and maybe someone can expaine to me, does Adword clients are protected from some idiot like your competition start clicking on my ads? every click cost money and some clicks can be very costly.

any one had this issue? or knows what Google does to protect customers?

thanks

Yes.. Google protects you from click fraud... It identifies a user based on IP, cookie settings... so if a idiot clicks on your Ad once his second click will not be counted after 30 days

That is incorrect. A click from a specific user may be counted multiple times - there's no 30 day rule. However, Google does have many sophisticated algorithms to protect you against click fraud.

They'll even give you credits if they catch the person screwing you over.
