    Does anyone think that a screen 'refresh ' rate has anything to do with what I was refering to earlier? Checkout the attached and tell me if that is someone clicking a few times or just the browser refreshing.

    Yes no doubt now google has enough data,money and experience.And it must be having best artifical intelligence techniques employed in their algorithms to counter click frauds.

    Sometime i think google is creating virtual minds of the searchers.Because suppose i google for "xbox" and then goes to a website where adsense or urchin is installed and then i click on any ad or click outbound link then again there is a big chance google can detect me at 3 stage and even more .....

    Actually google knows who is doing what ..
    and what he is about to do :)

    How do you mean? Doesnt it appear he was clicking every few seconds? Or are you aying he was being redirected? I advertise with Yahoo, so I am led to believe he was clicking 5 times, but I do not know...

    Dont you think the time period is bit too extended for typical click bombing, I think he was looking for something, and yours was in the sponsors, so he thought of trying them, he tried once, then again, then again, weird but... he might have been some clever enemy, do u have enemies?
    Its bad for your ONline wealth and health :)

    I have no enemies that I know of, I certainly have not prokoked anyone. Perhaps a competitor in the same area. The above image is only one example, it has happened a few times, different people of course. Its enough to make on paranoid!:(

    and the time period before averages about 7 seconds inbetween, is that too much for some sort of evil clicking scheme? lol

    Doesnt matter if its a dollar or a cent, The fact is that you have been ripped off, If i were you, I would have contact the ad broker straightaway before asking people's review coz there is money involved. but luckily we both are different entities :p
