you are going berserk again Kissie!

Lets say GOOG doesn't refund the $100 bucks to your adwords account that you budgeted. Oh bummer you are out $100 bucks. Don't bid again, simple. Problem solved. (but from what I hear they refund with no questions asked, unless of course you are a scammer and do this constantly which might happen in the PORN industry who knows)

The real issue is more like this:
- smalltime "mom and pop" operations like red envelope had an advertising bonanza in the 02-05 period because the internet ad medium was actually BETTER than television at less than 1% of the cost.
- big advertisers figured this out
- keywords went up and the little guys aren't getting as much for their money as they used to.

And its going to get worse, until that apple "ipod flea" video that ticked up traffic on all the big daddy servers last week ends up costing as much to advertise on as "punked".

This has nothing whatsoever to do with "click fraud".
