Exclamation Adsense Click Fraud - Who else has Experienced this?
Since I have been using Adsense since the start of the year, Google has not generated EVEN ONE SINGLE NEW USER for my websites... but of course has dinged my bank account for a couple hundred dollars every month.

Anyone else experience this???

Forgive me ... I'm new here and just getting into this stuff. So this may be a stupid question ... and I will try to read up on it some more ... But:
I thought Adwords was the one you had to pay for and Adsense was free.
So, how is it that Google charges you monthly for Adsense?

Are you using Adwords to advertise on Adsense websites? How do you know you've not gained visitors? Do you believe all clicks are fraud? Why? (Indeed you have to be vary careful about possible fraud and low-quality-clicks when advertising... Even the search network is not always super high quality). If you are unsure, I suggest you limit your advertising to Google search engine only... And use phrase matches... And only in Western countries. Then begin to expand out as success and experience increases.

Back in 2001 I knew this guy who had some script on his website. What he did was click a button a few times a day and it pulled from a database a random IP address to send Google. Worked for Tom for almost a year until Google caught on. Since then I have had a hard time coming to grips with actually using Adsense to promote any of my sites. Sure Adsense works if done correctly, but I still remember in the back of my mind what Tom has done.

DO NOT TRY THIS!!! YOU WILL GET BANNED JUST AS TOM DID!! YES, THEY BANNED HIM FOR LIFE.

If you advertise online with adsense/yahoo, its only a question of how much, not IF!

Do not put your money into Adwords to be put in Adsense ads. You WILL get ripped off.

I have the opposite problem. I can't get a hit to my adsense words to save my life.
