goo4goog, since you are ranting and raving about fraud, I have some issues with your own motives and honesty. I'm not going to get into a flame war here but I find it interesting that you reprint much of an article from CNN Money but curiously left the date off. I thought I remember that as a quite old article that gets recycled by the shorts on Yahoo so I checked and indeed that article on click fraud is from 2004 so I'll post a bit of it with the date still on it instead of removed as is the case for all your snippets: Google CFO: Fraud a big threat Google exec calls click fraud the "biggest threat" to the Internet economy, urges quick action. December 2, 2004: 6:30 PM EST I believe things were done by GOOG such as evaluating the pattern of clicks by IP address and may possibly be paying for only one click through per IP address but I'm not sure as I believe they don't publicize a lot of info that might help hackers or fraudsters. The final undisputed fact is that advertisers are are going crazy over search ads because they see a very high percentage of conversion into actual sales or whatever their final endpoint is. I've said what I'm going to say because I already waste enough responding to posts like yours from shorts on the miserable Yahoo board.
