    Hi,
    I think Adwords traffic should be real. However, some Google Adsense publishers who want to earn more money may ask their friends to click on them. Such persons are not genuinely buying anything that are advertised on the Google Adwords and are not quality traffic.

    Adwords traffic is defintiely real. Of course there will be some fake clicks but in the long run, from my experience, it is real.

    Google has a reputation - duh they are real (except for some publishers click their own ads). Now the one you should be questioning is msnAdcenter

    There's more than publishers clicking on ads, there's automated software trying to analyze the listing, there's CPA networks trying to find what their affiliates are doing and a host of other people trying to analyze in the effort to steal winning campaigns or to knock their competition out by burning up their budget.

    Adwords, Yahoo, Bing traffic is real. I dont trust any of the other PPC's like Miva, 7search etc.

    No traffic is 100% real, be careful how much you pay for your target keywords on google partner/publisher sites.

    I have used 7search, miva and a few others, in my opinion [and its only my view] they returned zero ROI

    Adwords reporting should be almost right
    Expect that not 100% clicks are genuine - click fraud may happen, your competitors may try to eat up your budget

    Yes, AdWords traffic is real. There are probably less than 1-3% of clicks that could be fraudulent on Search on Google.com. Possibly a slightly higher percentage of Search clicks on the Google AdWords Search Partners could be fraudulent. And definitely a much higher probability that you'll see a bit of fraudulent and worthless clicks on the Content network.

    Overall, if you are not seeing good ROI from your campaigns, then bail - and if you are, then optimize and keep truckin'.

    It is close to be real, why ? Because if somebody click the add - You will pay and this click will appear in statistics, but this person can click to close the window just after that in 0,1 sec, or get blocked internet conection or someting wrong, and Your stats will be less.

    that can happen with all traffic, not just paid search traffic. look at your analytics or log files and you will likely see that some organic and referral traffic bounces immediately...
