    If I activate the same ad 10 time with 10 different keyword phrase in one computer and click 1 time for each.

    How does google calculate clicks amount for such situation?

    1 or 10 ?

    It's the keyword that's counted not the ad - but if one person is continually clicking it should be treated as invalid.

    It would be 10 clicks, 1 for each keyword. You wouldn't be able to try this, as its coming from just 1 user and google would count it as 1 click.

    Also if you do this you stand a very good chance of having your account closed.

    Right, doing this to try to raise ctr's and such is just a bad idea in general. I wasn't even thinking of that haha.

    It's just to consider malicious clicks by programs or scripts.

    No, Google recognizes users by cookie not ip.

    Maybe Google will count 1 time from the same cookie in one computer no matter how many clicks by this user.

    Google cannot recognize all situation.

    Google automatically refund invalid clicks to adwords customers.

    I think that too. That might have worked a couple of years ago, but their fraud detection system has gotten much better. They will definitely catch your IP and see a pattern.

    It counts keywords and 10 keywords would amount to 10 clicks but from different user .But if one would do it himself tthe a/c stands a chance to get banned .

    According to the private policy of Google, it identifies user by cookies not ip, because there are such situations that so many people share the same ip address.

    So in my opinion, Google cannot recognize user if the one cleans all cookies about Google before clicking the next time in a virtual machine snapshot.

    Do you think so?

    I think, you're not cleverer than Google. And they do use IP to detect invalid clicks
    Quote -

    "Each click on an AdWords ad is examined by our system. Google looks at numerous data points for each click, including the IP address, the time of the click, any duplicate clicks, and various other click patterns."

    So many people share the same IP in ADSL or in intranet.

    So Google will lose money.

    So using cookies or other secret things is a good idea, but if I clean all of things they use.
