No, it's totally unlike it.

GOOG gets paid for each click, whether its a robot or a person. Since Google will not disclose any statistics on click fraud, they have a huge financial incentive to ENCOURAGE automated clicking.

This killed the pay-per-click porn industry ad model a few years ago. Nobody ever came up with a solution.

Google hasn't either. Period.
