Bots exist, but is it Google's fault? Fake views are often bought by site owners wanting to get more profit.


Right, but they seem to be really good at not paying site owners who do that...


You hear about it when someone gets caught. You don't hear about it when they don't. Who would ever say, publicly, "Look! I've been faking out AdSense for years and getting away with it!"?


Clicks should at least show up on the server the ad is linking to, bot or not.
