Adsense Criticism
Due to concerns about click fraud, Google Adsense has been criticized by some search engine optimization (SEO) firms as a large source of what Google calls 'invalid clicks.'
In response, Google says that it "removes publishers from their partner network on a daily basis". Some disabled publishers have complained that the process is not transparent or accountable.
To help prevent click fraud, publishers can choose from a number of click-tracking programs. These programs will display detailed information about the visitors who click on the Adsense pages. Publishers can use that data to determine if they've been a victim of click fraud or not. There seems to be many such commercial scripts available.
