    I think I have a competitor that is clicking me off of the adwords.. Is that possible? I have been doing this for awhile now and never have seen my campaign end in the beginning of the day normally I have it run all day! Is this possible please someone let me know!

    Google have systems in place to detect click fraud. If somebody is just repeatedly clicking your ads, then you won't be charged for that. I won't say click-fraud is impossible, but it would have to be done in a pretty complicated way for Google not to detect it.

    That is possible but in rarely time. Google has developed their click fraud detector a much better compared to a few years ago. :)

    It's not impossible, but pretty hard to do. Google may find the fraud and credit your balance back.
    Have you checked that the CPC you set? May be it was set to a high price.

    You have to be more careful and find out the exact error. As if google finds out, there is a chance of google penalising the site. The fraud click algo has been updated and works pretty well for google.
