What is Google really doing with invalid clicks?

    I hear all the time of people being click-bombed. Why do they get clickbombed? There doesn't always have to be a reason. Why do people trash your car for fun? Why do people rape? Why do people abuse others? There are plenty of sick people in the world, so why would'nt someone clickbomb your ads for fun?

    Maybe it's someone why never liked your from real life. Maybe it's someone who's jalous of your internett business, your domain or whatever. My point is, there are various reason for why your site has been hit by a clickbomb, without you having anything at all to do with it..

    But who get's punished for it? The clickbomber? No.. The webmaster. Let's say the webmaster is on a 14-days vacation somewhere. How is he suppose to keep track of his adsense earnings? It's not like he can warn Google by sending an email about it then. So what happens when he gets back then? He comes home to find out he's adsense account is closed, and the only explanation he finds, is a email from the Google team, that really doesn't say anything "due their stupid ass rules". The poor webmaster writes and reply, and get's a even more stupid automated email back saying he's been shut down due the clickbomb, and that "Google may not reply to his future mails". That's how easy it is to destroy someones webmaster account.

    This is the main reason why I'm wondering what the people over at Google is really doing about invalid clicks. They have some of the worlds best computer engineers, but they can't make and invalid click fraud protection system? I mean, how hard can it be for the people who made the worlds biggest search engine?

    Another thing, why is every damn thing a google "secret". Why can't you share your revenue with others? Really, what does it mather if I tell some mates over the internet how much money I've made?

    And what does really happen when Google closes an adsense account because of invalid clicks? To the advertises get their refund? I've sometimes been thinking that this is why they don't just set up an "clickfraud stopper". Maybe they let the frauders click away, close the accunt and still they bill the advertisers?

    I don't know about you guys, but I think Google is being way to powerful and dominant. Someone should get them down to earth soon, because their moving way to fast up in the world.
