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 happy holidays
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.
All monies are returned to the advertisers. Publishers of adsense loose their accounts and all outstanding payments.
