Click Fraud Tracking

What is Click Fraud ?
Click fraud is a type of internet nuisance or crime on Pay Per Click advertising where
repeated clicks on an ad are generated by a person or an automated script. This inflates
the number of clicks generated from such a CPC Ad campaign, without any legitimate interest
in the underlying ad. Several pay per click ad agencies including the big search engines
have been sued by advertisers for allowing such false clicks while charging huge amounts
of advertising dollars for those fraudulent clicks.

How can fraud clicks be identified?
A fraud click is often intentional, and may originate from competing vendors or websites in
order to rake up advertising charges for its competitors. Other fraud clicks originate
from websites who are paid per click for displaying your ad.
One way to track fraud clicks is by tracking the IP address of the user's
computer. The other method is to set a cookie and track the cookie even if the
computer's IP changes. A combination of both can be more effectively used to detect click frauds.
