Does anyone know how to block certain IPs from seeing adwords on google's site, as I have several that click on my ads daily to make me reach budget (competitors) thanks, Continuum
it is not possible to block an IP address and anyway how do you know your competitor IP address? How do you know that it is not a real customer? Normally a potential customer may click more them one time on the same ad when comparing prices, just before purchasing. if he is really clicking too much on your ad, AdWords anti fraud filters will take care of it - don't worry with stuffs like that - take your time on doing things like optimizing your campaigns.
To expand on what Micromag said - if your competitors can click on your ads a few times to make you reach your budget, your budget obviously isn't high enough. To make the most efficient use of advertising, technically your daily budget should be set to a fairly high number that won't be reached, you're just turning away conversions otherwise. I can still get a good ROI even assuming a lot of my clicks are by competitors, worry about optimizing your campaigns instead of the little things like that. Besides, that repeated IP clicking could be a really interested customer that's still deciding.
So maybe you have a technical evidence of a possible crime against your business. You can sue him. Here is a similar case to yours: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=99081
