    I suppose yes, since they need the stats to identify clickfraud.

    So if you click an ad before page fully loads it MIGHT be regarded as click fraud. This is just an example.

    Sure if you're using google analytics on your site, because you can access that info too.
    But not sure if you're not using google analytics.

    Yes, I am sure they are. With Urchin in the Google grip now, why not?

    That google is collecting a lot of information is something that we can take for granted. There are a lot of companies that do that and i dont think google are the ones we should worry about. Why would they do something bad for us with this information?

    They do track everything and when they are suspected or when their automatic system alerts them of certain clicks they check all these things manually.
