I'm glad they actually prosecute the ones caught committing click fraud; as an adwords advertiser, I'd happily keep paying google because of this.

Mostly just joking, it's more the appearance of what was done than whether or not there was any unjust pecuniary gain by the goog.

Anyhow, I'm up to having spent $1,200 on adwords since December 1 (Took a week + off for X-mas, etc., so I'm combining December/January), so believe me I'm all about them going after some click fraud.

What's particularly bad, is I'll have 50 clicks on ad X in one day, but the next day's reports only show 30-40 uniques from that ad, yet I have never received an "adjustment" as a result of their having caught click fraud.

However, the day they can effectively catch it all will be a help for everyone.
