Arrow Google giving click fraud stats to advertisers

Via ZDNet

Responding to concerns about click fraud in the online-ad industry, Google will be revealing to advertisers the number of invalid clicks on their ads with changes it's set to make to its AdWords system late Tuesday.

Now advertisers will be able to see the number of invalid clicks Google found, as well as what percentage that represents of total clicks registered, said Shuman Ghosemajumder, business product manager for trust and safety at Google.

This opens a can of worms..........

As I understand it its not just Adsense, its the Adwords ads as well. You will be able to see if loads of your competitors are clicking on your adverts.

Trust is the primary concern by Google here. They're known for it few years back. So they still want to maintain that trust from millions internet users around the world.

Holy hell, about time. Now all they have to do is put diminished serving of ads to the same IP + cookie AND automatic flagging of AdWords publishers who overclick competitor ads in their niches

I agree, being secretive would do the opposite.

SAN FRANCISCO — Google Inc. plans to announce today that it will start telling marketers how many times their ads are clicked fraudulently or accidentally, trying to tamp down an increasing concern of its advertisers and investors.

Some advertisers have complained that Google, Yahoo Inc. and other search providers don't do enough to prevent "click fraud": clicking on a competitors' ads to drain their advertising budgets or clicking on ads on one's own site to artificially boost revenue. Advertisers pay only when someone clicks on their ads.
Interesting move, part of the awakening on $90mil settlement case. I sincerely hope that Google will take steps to protect it's publishers as well by notifying them with the offending IP's.

That is good news. If Google just ignored invalid clicks rather than banning publishers it would also be a step forward IMHO.

This is really cool, and I guess will attract more advertiser because of the transparency. How I wish they also include a report of invalid clicks in adsense, so that publishers can monitor where invalid click came from.
