On my web statistics that are tracking my Google campaigns, I am finding the same IP addresses that are clinking different diverse keywords. I’ve found the same address clinking 20 different keywords. This is obviously click fraud.

Does anybody know of a good program that can keep this from happening, or at least that can help me to deter this. Of course, I need to get something that is affordable – I’ve seen a couple that start of at $80 a month.

Also, does anyone know Goggle’s policy on refunding clink frauds? I can’t seem to find anything on their site.

You will want to email them asap and tell them about your find, this I have found is the best thing to do. From here they will tell you whats next. Good luck and dont be banned from google

Yes, email them, and let them know what's going on. They will investigate it, and credit the cost of any fraudulent clicks back to your account.

Thanks for the help. I emailed them and am waiting for a reply. I can't believe it, there were some IP adreeses that had clicked on hundreds of diverse keywords (bots I guess). There are literally thousands of clicks like this in my campaigns. I'm curious to see how Google will deal with it. Doe this happen alot to people> Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening?
