How Google is able to detect invalid clicks ?

    How do they do it?

    They check the IP adress? Or maybe the cookies? Or is there a maximum ratio between the page views and the clicks?

    Maybe you can help me. I don't want to break the rules, i'm just asking because I am curious...

    How does Google find invalid clicks?

    I'm pretty sure its:

    - IP
    - Cookies
    - Accounts with Google

    For example, if you would go to another country (or in the same city, no need to use the gas) and go on a random PC where you have never logged in into your Google account or even better, you have never used it before, and clicked on an advertisement, there's no way Google would know it's fake.

    But are you that mean? There are real people placing those links and paying for every single click.

    It not matters how, why, where

    It matters that you just stick to what you agreed to when you ticked the box saying 'I have read and understood the terms and conditions'

    It's pretty simple for them.

    Remember Google uses various programmers to create one of the best software in the world. Patterns are the way to know everything. Proxy are easy to detect and your click/surf patterns are easier to detect.
