March 20th, 2006 at 8:24 pmThat’s certainly an interesting thought. Google allows advertisers to apply for ‘credits’ if an advertiser claims certain clicks are fraudulent and can provide proof.
According to Google any reimbursements to advertisers are “recorded as a reduction to revenue in periods in which they are redeemed.”
Does that mean that fraudulent clicks are included within those figures? I would say definitely, and perhaps more than one would think. But who knows?
