    Well my world record has been beaten now this week with 49 invalid clicks.

    Usually its about 15 per week on average.

    How many invalid clicks are you guys getting and is it worse on particular days?

    I'm just wondering how many of those I really got charged for? I would like to think none but hmmmm, could I ever really prove anything?

    What about you guys?

    Well last week was perfect for me, because I didn't get any invalid clicks. Also I didn't get any clicks at all, because of Google's technical problems. Amazing, isn't?

    If you would bother taking a few minutes to explore Google's site, they clearly state that clicks that they list as "Invalid Clicks" are not charged for. Why would they tell you there were invalid, and then charge you for it?

    Like anything else, it isn't foolproof. Its still in your best interest to research for yourself and verify that a large number isn't being accounted for.

    Invalid clicks? Are you talking about click fraud? If so, how did you know that you were averaging fifteen fraudulent clicks per week?

    I'm guessing they email you to let you know?
