    Does money really matter after all? What about your reputation? Your integrity?

    If you are caught clicking your own ads, you could be the first person that ever registered to adsense and still get banned

    They have thousands of Software Engineers. I'm sure that a good percentage of them are assigned to programming software that can detect fraud/invalid clicks.

    it is like asking "what is the formula of making coca-cola syrups?" ... but the idea is simply.. they look for patterns... click repeatedly? unusal click pattern? regions ? time of day? too many factors to list here.. then the ultimate weapon.. human review... with so much at stake, you just can let fraud ruin it

    They will detect it through your IP address and computer name. Plus, Google have security features installed on their Adsense servers.

    The Ip address and the computer name are the two important things they detect. If you are using some proxy software, then they might claim it as fraud...

    Google stores cookies in your computer when you open the website. Next time when you again open and click on the ads, google records the activities of your computer with the help of cookies and ip address.

    However they do it, I wouldn't even attempt to outwit them. I value my adsense account too much.
