I’m not know for taking the side of the search engines on the click fraud issue but… Click Forensics would not be in business if there wasn’t click fraud, so all I’m saying is they definitely have an economic interest to say that click fraud is rampant and drum up fear.

There, I said it.

Just a few weeks ago I was wondering whether or not click fraud was as big an issue as it used to be. It seems the trends are that it’s rising.   Running international campaigns? Then visit the click fraud index and think about if you’ve got campaigns in geos that are susceptible to fraud.
