You do the math on that one. If you had a site that you monetized with ads for people that host PPC ads and you could send "non-human" traffic it would inflate the value of your ads while eliminating you from direct action by the PPC providers.

I am not saying that www.proxy.org participated in click fraud, but all of the evidence certainly points to that.

Google has evaluated all of the Adsense publishers that have ads on www.proxy.org and they have told me that all of the accounts show the same patterns.

Before you say: The traffic is using proxies to hit the PPC ads. I covered that with the Adsense guy and he told me that they can detect proxy clicks and that the "non-human" evaluation comes from click patterns and not from IP/header/ref as one would think.


from what i understand someone is using a bot using thier proxy database of websites to hit your site and your going to sue them for it ?

If so thats pretty lame its like suing a freehost where someone uploaded some stolen content.
