if any one think that click fraud is that easy to pass through, then im sorry to say you are not looking to the matter with the right perspective. its not the matter of calculating the numbers of clicks, from the same IP. these to are not the all to cheat the system. if you are trying any of the brilliant idea to implement click frauding, you would got caught. google has the algorith to find whethere a person is clicking on the adds as an intention to click, but not browsing. the most rewarding clicks are the accidental clicks.
The reason I asked was that I've installed a tracking software and it asks me to enter the number of clicks for each IP
Yeah! I would like to know that to. ..but I don`t get it. It won`t show ads for those who have already clicked on them? Or?
i dont think these instruments work. actually its not the number of clicks, is not the fact. the fact is how much unique visits do your pages gets. and out of that unique visits how much click generated. mathmeticaly the proportion of the page visit and the click genarated is the main thing to be concidered. which is called CTR- click through rate.
Doesn't sound very good tracker to me - very time consuming if you have a large site with lots of clicks and also you'd go number blind with all the chains of IP addresses. The only people who know this are Google them self - they aren't likely to share the secret with anyone else. If you want my opinion any more than 3 or 4 clicks per day from the same IP is suspicious - even more so if they are in quick succession. The problem arises that some people have shared IP addresses on a network so, in theory, a few people could quite innocently click ads on a popular news site on the same day for example. No straightforward answer.
