    Here's a question.
    Is it true to say that most invalid clicks come from traffic which have no referrer? If so would it be easier not display ads to traffic which do not have valid referrers? :confused:

    It's not true. Mostly it is your clicks ... lol Invalid clicks are those intentional clicks usually 90% above click through.

    I am wondering why would I have to filter clicks ot ads showing.
    Google should do that for me.
    That's why they get part of the income... to manage the ads and the recording of clicks/imps etc
    If I do not click on the ads just to make money they should handle the rest

    True, they should handle the rest themselves. But unfortunately they don't ... they blame us for failures which their system should have prevented in the first place :(

    Remember that there are so many advertisers with low click value. It's their business so if they do it, no one will advertise again. Some are only testing it and some are using it always in their business.

    MFA (Made for Adsense) sites usually pay 0.01 or so per click, hoping that when the clicker goes to their site, they will receive a 0.10+ click.

    It's adsense arbitrage, and unless your good at it you could really loose out in the end.

    I block those damn MFA sites that pay crap per click, they don't deserve the advertising space, I would rather have a blank spot.

    IMHO - Pay for the click properly, or don't waste our time!
