Business owners who advertise with pay per click advertising (PPC) must stay constantly vigilant of click fraud, an internet scheme which can quickly deplete your advertising budget. Also known as click spam, click fraud involves a false inflation of the number of clicks on an ad. Fraudulent clicks are any clicks on a pay per click ad that happened where the intention is not interest in the ad’s content, but to cause a charge to the advertiser. Often these false clicks are automated, but sometimes the clicks come from individuals (occasionally paid). Click fraud is criminal; however, this hasn’t stopped the proliferation of increasingly sophisticated click fraud schemes, and it can be a hard crime to prove and prosecute.
