    Anyone know of any good click fraud prevention services? We are taking a look out Whos Clicking Who. There service is to detect and deter click fraud. They track all clicks and create a report to send to the PPC services for a refund for invalid clicks.

    Anyone have success with services like this? Does Google accept these reports and give you a refund for those clicks? It's all well and great to create these reports but if Google doesn't accept them, it's worthless.

    Anyone ever try this? I'm curious.

    Thanks,

    Google has their own Proprietary technology to detect click frauds, they may not accept report generated from other tool.

    That's what we're worried about. How do these click fraud prevention services work then if Google may not accept these reports?

    Google does use their own metrics, but it's always a good idea to have independent stats as well. I would suggest using a free click fraud detection tool like VeriClix (www.vericlix.com) to begin with. If nothing else, it might tell you which phrases are more likely to be victim to fraud so you can adjust your campaigns accordingly.

    I sent a report about a month ago to adsense and they denied it stating that they have state of the art tools to prevent and generate click fraud details and such. I dont know how others work like adbrite, clicksor or ypn but has anyone else been denied ?
