How Much Was Your Click Fraud Suit Compensation?

    Reports are coming in of people receiving their fraud settlement compensation (their pie of the $60m Google paid back).

    Did you get your piece of the pie?

    This guy got 12p on £500 spent. That's 0.024% refund. So if you spent 25 grand, you'd have gotten $6 back, wuoohoo!

    That's just over one percent. Not bad! I wonder how they calculated it then.

    I hope you didn't expect more after the lawyers got their cut, I mean $600.00 can only go so far.;)

    With this type of lawsuits, only the lawyers make good.

    Sounds like filling out the papers has been a waste of time. At those pay-outs it probably cost them more in bandwidth to send the notification emails.

    we got 2400+$ (in indian rupees) as refund :D (This was compensation for the high clicks happened on feb 2006) and it was adjusted with the past months due and on october we had a huge click variations again :(, we dint file any case though, we just notified them of invalid clicks and they said they will verify it and send the credit

    About £0.12, which is nothing really compared to our spend. The lawyers got about $10m from what I hear :rolleyes:
